'''Tampolodge is an eco-lodge, located in Antongil Bay on the Masoala peninsula, in the northeast of Madagascar. The property lies within the [[Masoala National Park]] and is surrounded by one of the view remaining primary forests on earth. The name Tampolodge derives from the nearby village of Tampolo, a wonderful place where the forest meets the sea. The lodge can be reached only by boat or on foot, starting from the town of [[Maroantsetra]].'''<!--The Nature offers you its green carpet.-->

Tampolodge was founded by Giuseppe, a former researcher who worked on several projects in the region for the ''Peregrine Fund'' and who was soon captivated by the beauty of the place. In 2001, the site also served as basecamp to the French botanist and biologist Francis Hallé while exploring the tree tops of the rainforest during his expedition known as ''Radeau des Cimes'' (navigating the tree tops with an aerostatic ballon).

A stay at Tampolodge includes full board, consisting of a continental breakfast, lunch and dinner. The kitchen serves traditional Malagasy food, adapted to Western taste. Soft drinks and alcohol are charged extra.

The Masoala National Park encloses more than 250,000ha primary forest and is home to countless animal species and plants, amongst them the strangest and the most important rate of endemism (75% of Madagascar's plant and animal species are unique to the country). Small and large rivers flow direction ocean from the heart of Masoala. Tampolodge is a world apart where nature lovers can admire the incredible biodiversity found in the forest and sea. Visitors will not only hear whales sing to the cries of Red ruffed lemurs, but also the melody of waves hitting the sandy beaches and the most incredible frog concerts.
