The eco-cottage Auberge Panoramique "Mahatsinjo" is located in the village of Andranomandevy near the Sambirano River in the northwest of Madagascar, about 30 kilometres upstream from Ambanja.
Auberge Panoramique "Mahatsinjo" is managed by the Toky Miray Association of women from the village and its profits are used for various community projects. Built with local materials and equipped with dry toilets, showers and solar energy, it can accommodate up to 16 people.
The team is very attentive and seems to be able to read the guest's mind, especially regarding the catering. As there is no fixed menue, almost everything is possible: Fish, meat or simply vegetarien, the women will surely prepare a delicious meal.
The name of the eco-cottage refers to its elevated location; Mahatsinjo means "to be able to look over from above or from afar" in Malagasy.
