Activities at Miavana, a 14-villa lodge on Nosy Ankao, extend beyond your typical African safari ones - lemur trekking, helicopter trips, whale watching, fly fishing, and deep-sea fishing are all part of the itinerary. Like a safari camp, Miavana offers carefully planned excursions into the island’s wilderness. Guests can also scuba dive and snorkel in the Indian Ocean’s warm waters just in front of their rooms, as well as trek the area’s many rare and endangered species with expert guides.
