Relax – Breathe

Departure to join the national 02 which leads to the eastern side of the island. Passage through the historic town of Moramanga, a locality which experienced one of the most significant popular uprisings during colonization. Stop at the Antsapanana fruit market, tasting. Then, passage to Brickaville, with its small local pier where goods pass through. Continuation to the fork which takes us on a track to Manambato: a town located on the edge of Lake Rasoabe with a large sandy beach, a vacation spot for city dwellers. Boarding a motorized boat towards the hotel, passing the 2 large lakes (Rasoabe and Rasoamasay), rich in legends. Arrival at the hotel, installation. The hotel is very simple and made up of a small group of bungalows on a sandbank between two lakes. The place is extremely peaceful. Electricity is absent but the calm and serenity of the place will carry you away.

Day dedicated to exploring the surroundings of the hotel: walking, visit to the “EBONY PARK” Hotel reserve (carnivorous plants, orchidariums, lemurs, chameleons, etc.), beach and swimming, etc. The place calls for rest.

Boarding to join the Canal des Pangalanes to reach Ankanin’ny nofy, a site established on a 35 ha plot of land next to Lake Ampitabe. The Pangalanes Canal is among the longest artificial canals in the world. Built during the colonial period, this canal was intended to drain agricultural products from the Eastern region. Knowing that the Indian Ocean is quite turbulent on this coast, the natives use this waterway extensively for the circulation and transport of the region's products. The hotel is a little gem anchored in still preserved nature. Very beautiful place, bathed in nature and surrounded by white sand beaches. Rest… escape… beach… a moment to yourself… to find yourself… Visit to the islet of aye aye at the end of the afternoon

A day of discovery of this unique region of the Pangalanes canal. Visit to the Palmarium Private Reserve, containing several species of palm trees, some of which are rare and endemic, orchids, acacias and carnivorous plants. The reserve is also home to around ten species of lemurs, notably the indri indri, the sifaka. Time holds its breath. Grab your sandals and set off to explore the surrounding area. It is possible to be dropped off by a canoe in a village and return to the hotel on foot.

Breakfast and boarding for a return to civilization, with a head full of new breath.
