VAKONA FOREST LODGE, ANDASIBE

BUILT IN TRADITIONAL MALAGASY STYLE

Stay in clear mountain air, surrounded by the treetops of an ancient forest. And share your holiday with shining-eyed indri.

You sit out on the veranda at Vakona Forest Lodge, a glass of wine in hand, and slowly you become aware of a strange sound.

It’s not raucous enough to be lemurs…then you realise you’re listening to a myriad of forest frogs.

You can expect this sort of experience at the lodge – it’s situated high on a hillside that drops down to a stunning lake. In fact, the lodge stands in water, on stilts, and is surrounded by unspoiled mountain rainforest. The perfect place to experience all manner of wildlife and see the indri; largest of all Madagascar’s famous lemurs.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”

This was our second big trip with 91�� – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”

We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by 91�� – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”

From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
