Ankaranana Lodge

Northern Madagascar


The pool and garden are attractive, the restaurant is good (menu Ar60,000) and the lodge is well located close to the park entrance. However, the staff are indifferent and accommodation needs TLC. Doors don't lock and the bedding is very poor quality. Air-con is on from 6pm to 10pm only but there are fans. There's no phone coverage or wi-fi.

Beware of the night walks on offer in the adjacent Gondwanaland park. Walking through the tsingy in the dark takes all your concentration so you won't have time to look for animals.
