Tourism for conservation
alternative and development lever for local communities

Since the foundation stone was laid in 2007 in Anjozorobe where our journey began, our establishments have always had the vocation of promoting sustainable tourism as an economic alternative and lever for the development of local communities.
Their involvement in conservation actions is essential for lasting results. The inclusion and participatory approach that we advocate aims to build capacity at the local level. Nearly 1,000 members make up our Tourism federation, the majority of whom are women dedicated to providing an original experience to each of our guests.

‘’It All Started With The Vision Of
Making Responsible Investments For
Biodiversity Conservation In

Located in the protected areas managed by Fanamby, our eco-lodges aim to find the best balance between the needs and aspirations of the communities, and the sustainable conservation of biodiversity.
