Anjajavy Private Reserve can only be reached by air, and as a result offers a wonderfully remote experience on Madagascar's north-west coast.
Offering the ultimate combination of beach and bush, the reserve is an oasis for both wildlife and visitors. Its dry deciduous forest yields chameleons, frogs, and abundant common brown lemurs, as well as highly localised nocturnal lemurs such as the Grewcock's sportive lemur and the tiny Danfoss's mouse lemur, which is one of the smallest lemurs growing to just 25 centimetres long. However, the beautiful Coquerel’s sifakas are the local stars and are often seen next to the hotel and even in the trees above the villas.
The reserve is also home to the elusive fosa, Madagascar’s largest carnivore. Highlights amongst the prolific birdlife include Madagascar harrier hawk, crested ibis, white-browed owl and the critically endangered Madagascar fish eagle. The nearby Tsingy Caves are home to various species of bat.
Anjajavy l'Hôtel is situated on a private rainforest that covers an area of 1,030 hectares, while the wider protected area covers 10,803 hectares and supports 1,800 plant species, many of which are endemic, in addition to the abundant fauna.
Ideal for viewing: Commerson’s leaf-nosed bat, common brown lemur, Coquerel’s sifaka, Madagascar fish eagle, Milne-Edwards’ sportive lemur
Where: Sofia Region, Madagascar
