Isalo Rock Lodge

Overview of Isalo Rock Lodge

Madagascar, Isalo National Park

Established in 1962 and spanning 81,540 hectares, Isalo National Park is home to a picturesque rocky landscape and a semi-arid climate. Featuring one of the world's best stargazing sites, the ‘Balcony of Isalo' offers pristine views of a constellation of stars accompanied by the ambient song of cicadas. Sandstone ridges and deep canyons are surrounded by grassy plains and palm-lined oases, creating what some have described as a ‘Jurassic era' landscape.

Modern amenities and luxurious accommodation take centre stage in this microcosm of indigenous flora and fauna. Escape from city life without sacrificing modern luxury, all while enjoying close encounters with the white sifakas and ring-tailed lemurs. An exciting itinerary of activities, from horseback riding to billiards, provides ample opportunities to create memorable family and safari adventures.

Madagascar boasts a temperate climate throughout the year, with slightly warmer summer months and cooler evenings. Sandstone landscapes offer cloudbursts of rain showers, unveiling a fresh sandy fragrance. Isalo Rock Lodge is an ideal safari getaway for families, friends, and couples at any time of the year.
