Black Lemur Camp

Black Lemur Camp is an eco-lodge located in the Andrafiamena protected area, 100 kilometres south of Diego Suarez. The camp, which opened in 2015, is based on the concept of sustainable tourism by supporting a major reforestation initiative in the area as well as employing locals from the nearby villages.

The 13 wooden, palm thatched bungalows are built on stilts and can be adjusted as single, double or family bungalows according to the number of guests. They are solar powered, have a large bathroom with hot and cold water and an open terrace. From almost all the rooms guests have great views onto the Andrafiamena valley. The bungalows are separated by trees from each other.

The restaurant offers a fixed menu using mainly seasonal ingredients. The bar has a wide selection of rhum arrangée. After a walk through the forest, guests can relax in the cosy chairs of the restaurant terrace, enjoy the view onto the valley and listen to the sounds of birds and lemurs, maybe combined with a drink before lunch or dinner.

The majority of the staff comes from Anjahankely, a village 10 minutes away from Black Lemur Camp. None of the workers from the village has a training in gastronomy, nevertheless, they are attentive and have always a big smile on their face.

Next to the village is the tree nursery by the NGO Fanamby. The nursery plants about 30,000 trees a year, amongst them ..., the favourite fruit of the Black Sifaka.
