Fort Dauphin Madagascar

Built on a headland, and bordered on three sides by the Indian Ocean, Fort Dauphin is a town with much historical importance and significance to Madagascar's colonial past.

It is a fascinating town to visit as well, with old forts, colonial architecture and a bustling marketplace, surrounded by some stunning scenery of mountains, lakes, beaches and coastline.

Fort Dauphin has much of interest for those interested in both culture and nature.

Nahampoana Reserve
A few minutes from town, this is a lovely residence in an exotic park - visit, or stay and have breakfast with the lemurs!
·
Former "Garden of acclimatization" of species useful to Madagascar, this 67 hectare garden, at the foot of the St Louis peak, is also planted with many endemic plants. Introduced are several species of lemurs, tortoises, chameleons and crocodiles. River trips are also available. Two dwelling houses and a good restaurant accommodate guests.
The services which you will remember longest are those of the ecotourism guides, who will help you discover different lemurs species, Makis, brown lemurs, Cattas…and the many endemic plants (among which include didieraceas, cacti-shaped trees). But the service of the restaurant and the rooms is also very attentive and always smiling.

Vinanibe Lodge
10 km from Fort Dauphin, by the Lake Vinanibe, the hotel has 8 bungalows divided into 15 rooms.
Jean de Heaulmes
The de Heaulmes, having come from Reunion Island in 1925 to exploit sisal and mica in the Malagasy south, got in the hotel industry by accident, before the independence when a lady sold them her guesthouse. They developed a small network of hotels, with standard 2 stars in the bush, and three stars downtown
This accommodation provider has taken action to address one or more issues (whether environmental, social or cultural) which will contribute positively to the long term viability of the destination and hence their site displays a Caring for the destination rating.
Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:
The SHTM is a family company committed to sustainable tourism and social development.
Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:
The de Heaulmes have initiated numerous pioneering sustainable tourism projects. Starting in 1937, they opened a private reserve in the forest of the Mandradre river, now of world renown and featuring an Atandroy museum.They also safeguard the vestiges of Fort Flacourt, those of the Portuguese fort in the small island of Santa Cruz, the botanical garden of Sayadi, and also a large forest of baobab trees close to Morondave. On a social level, their effort is "foremost to explain, and involve people in their own future", says Jean de Heaulme. It is also to develop local employment: the family hire very few westerners among the executives (70% of them come from Tana, 30% from Fort Dauphin), and they have an 50/50 objective. In 1986, the family was awarded the John Paul Getty Prize for Conservation.

Berenty Lodge
Located inside the reserve, the hotel offers 29 rooms or bungalows within an unique natural setting, which has been well preserved. All rooms rates are half-board pension. [more info]
Since 1937, this has been a private reserve in the ancient tamarind forest of the Mandradre river, now of world renown and also featuring an Atandroy museum.
