Lokobe Reserve



Experience at a glance
Embark in a Sakalava dug‑out canoe from Ambatozavavy, glide through mangroves and step into Nosy Be’s last primary forest. Under the emerald canopy hide panther chameleons, leaf‑tailed geckos, black macaco lemurs and tiny mouse‑lemurs. Lokobe is an authentic nature bath, far from the crowds, guided by Ginot who knows every frog call and medicinal liana.
