Madagascar Classic Collection was founded in 2007 with the opening of Mandrare River Camp, the country’s first high-standard all-inclusive camp. Born from a passion for discovering Madagascar’s most remote and extraordinary landscapes, the Collection continues to open up new regions while treading lightly in fragile environments rich in traditional cultures. Through fully solar-powered camps, close collaboration with local communities and NGOs, and ongoing investment in conservation and community projects, Madagascar Classic Collection creates meaningful journeys that protect natural ecosystems, support local livelihoods, and preserve the unique heritage of Madagascar for generations to come.
The Camp is situated on the banks of the Mandrare River, nestled under the shade of Tamarind Trees. The River is the lifeblood of the region and sustains the close by Antandroy village of Ifotaka and its sacred ancestral forests. The Spiny Forests found around the camp are unique to the Southern region of Madagascar and forms an important part of this region’s ecosystem and the wildlife adapted to this environment.

The park offers an awe-inspiring landscape, with narrow canyons, vertical spires, lush forests and unique flora.
