Boeny is one of the most beautiful regions in Madagascar, blessed with not-to-be-missed breathtaking sites such as the Anjohibe Caves, the Ankarafantsika National Park, the Sacred Lake (Lac Sacré), Le Cirque Rouge, the beautiful Amborovy beaches, Petite Plage and Grand Pavois, the Antrema Reserve, the Katsepy lighthouse, the Mahavavy Kinkony complex, the Tsingy of Namoroka, etc.
Since 2015, Coco Lodge Majunga has been granted the License C as a travel and tourist services agency, allowing the hotel to offer multi-day tours away from the hotel in air-conditioned four-wheel drive vehicles to discover the beauty of Boeny and Mahajanga.
Coco Lodge Tour Operator (License B) organizes tours in Majunga and its surroundings. Coco Lodge remains the starting point of all excursions and is the ideal place to stay during your journey in Majunga. We also work in partnership with Le Lodge des Terres Blanches, Papamena, Poséidon. They can make you live unforgettable moments.
"The region is a dream destination for those who seek exoticism. The weather is beautiful and warm almost all year round, with a dry season running from March to November. The natural sites hosting exceptional fauna and flora are a real treat for the eye; and 85 percent of those species are endemic." – Eric Petitjean.
Malagasy residents and international travellers from all over the world can get to Mahajanga and have access to these wonders. Here is how.
- Flights from France to Antananarivo are available every week. Then tourists can either travel by car in a comfortable four-wheel drive car for a ten-hour road trip (560 kilometers), or by plane with Tsaradia (three weekly flights every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday).
- One weekly flight from Mayotte is available every Friday. If our request is accepted, we will have up to three weekly flights by July or October 2022.
- We are all crossing our fingers that flights from Reunion Island will start soon.
First and foremost, the promotion of Madagascar is the ONTM’s business (National Office of Tourism of Madagascar). Then, the promotion of tourism for Mahajanga is the mission of the ORTB (Regional Office of Tourisme of the Boeny Region) and that of all the tourist actors operating across the region. There are a hundred of us and we are represented by the FHORM (Federation of Hoteliers Restaurateurs of Madagascar). As the General Manager of Coco Lodge Majunga, I represent the West of Madagascar in these two organizations.
After two years of health crisis, we are all seeking to promote our region, whether through our websites and on social media, such as Facebook, Instagram, but also LinkedIn.
What we need today for Majunga is obviously more direct flights, bypassing Antananarivo, and more airlines to operate in the region.
