Ifaty Safari Trips & Tours

Located in south-western Mada, Ifaty is a laidback, chilled-out corner where relaxation is the name of the game. Well, we say that (and the powder-soft beaches, littered with palms and strewn along the Mozambique Channel certainly back us up), but there’s also a fair amount of adventure to be had too. The offshore coral reef is ripe for snorkelling and diving, as is the equally special Ranobe Lagoon, and in July and August, migrating whales can be spotted in their hundreds. On land, there are three areas of forest to explore, each of which is home to iconic lemurs, plenty of birds and reptiles, and baobabs. And who wouldn’t want to visit somewhere blessed with 300 days of sunshine a year? Yes please!
