Shaun, thank you. Our trip was superb and my wife and I enjoyed every minute of it. Our guide was excellent, being enthusiastic and extremely competent and our itinerary suited us perfectly with superb accommodation and great food! We are grateful to World Primate Safaris for organising a trip we will never forget and which has given us such a memorable and unforgettable experience.

David and Heather - Madagascar

An overall excellent schedule. Your guides are highly recommended; they went out of their way to find the wildlife and explain the history. Terrific customer service, we were most impressed.

Gaye - Madagascar

I think we are just about to send you guys a thank you card - we had a wonderful time! In all honesty I cannot say that we have ever been treated as well as we were in our various locations. Top rate and all our friends have had to endure countless recollections and praise for the trip and your firm.

Isalo Ranch, Isalo National Park

Isalo Ranch

Set in a wonderful garden, full of fruit trees and herbs, Isalo ranch is a peaceful and relaxing place to stay during your travels of Southern Madagascar. The ranch is basic, but comfortable and with the spectacular jagged rock formations and varied terrain of Isalo National Park forming the enchanting back drop, it is not to be missed. Discover some of Madagascar’s endemic species in the park, or sit on your private terrace overlooking the lush garden watching the local chameleons hunting for their next meal.

Style: A comfortable and charming ranch very close to Isalo National Park.

Setting: The ranch is just 2km from the entrance to Isalo National Park and 5km from the town of Ranohira, a beautiful and diverse area.

Accommodation & Facilities: The 20 bungalows have capacity for up to 40 guests and are all separated from one another. They are built in the traditional Bara Style with clay walls and thatched roofs and are en-suite (including hot water) with their own private terrace overlooking the gardens. Rooms are very comfortable but, in true ranch style, have no TV, mini bar or telephone.

The main restaurant and bar area is nicely decorated with a wooden theme and the swimming pool has fantastic views of Isalo, with lots of seating arranged so guests can fully enjoy it.

Dining: Three meals are provided per day with a large choice between Madagascan, European and Chinese cuisine.

Activities: There is trekking in the stunning Isalo National Park where you will find some of Madagascar’s endemic plants and wildlife and the local villagers put on 3 or 4 nights a week singing and cabaret shows for guests. Swimming here is irresistible with such a breathtaking view!
