Lokobe Reserve, Nosy Be

Born on the Island,
Raised by the Forest

Growing up on Nosy Be, the jungle was my playground. I learned to spot a leaf-tailed gecko before I learned to read. Now I share that knowledge with travelers from around the world.

Every walk through Lokobe is a conversation with nature. I'll show you the tiny Brookesia chameleon hiding on a twig, the Black Lemur leaping through the canopy, and the medicinal plants my grandmother taught me about. This isn't a tourist trail — it's an experience you'll carry with you forever.

Lokobe National Park — Madagascar's Last Rainforest on Nosy Be

Lokobe is the last remaining tract of primary forest on Nosy Be. This protected reserve is a living treasure chest of endemic wildlife — species that exist nowhere else in the world. Reaching it by pirogue (traditional outrigger canoe) across turquoise waters is just the beginning of the adventure.

🦎

Brookesia Chameleon

Brookesia minima

One of the smallest reptiles on Earth. Barely the size of your thumbnail, these tiny chameleons are masters of disguise on the forest floor.

🐒

Black Lemur

Eulemur macaco

The iconic black lemurs of Nosy Be swing through the canopy in family groups. Males are jet black while females are golden-brown — a stunning contrast.

🦎

Panther Chameleon

Furcifer pardalis

Famous for their extraordinary colors, these chameleons put on a dazzling display. Nosy Be specimens are known for their vivid blue and green patterns.

🐸

Nosy Be Tree Frog

Boophis sp.

Jewel-bright frogs that emerge after rain, their calls filling the forest with an unforgettable chorus at dusk.

🦉

Madagascar Scops Owl

Otus rutilus

A rare nocturnal sighting for those who join the evening tours. Their haunting call echoes through the ancient trees at twilight.

🌺

Medicinal Plants

Traditional Malagasy flora

Lokobe's forest is a living pharmacy. Discover plants used for generations by local communities to heal, protect, and nourish.

A Journey Through
the Living Forest

🛶

Pirogue Crossing

Your adventure begins with a scenic paddle across the bay in a traditional Malagasy outrigger canoe, gliding over crystal-clear waters toward the forest.

🌿

Guided Forest Walk

Slow-paced and immersive. I'll guide you along hidden paths, pointing out wildlife and sharing stories about the forest ecosystem and local traditions.

📸

Wildlife Photography

I know exactly where the animals hide. Get incredible close-up shots of chameleons, lemurs, and rare species with my guidance on the best angles and moments.

🍽️

Local Lunch

After the walk, enjoy a freshly prepared Malagasy meal at a beachside village — grilled fish, rice, and tropical fruits under the shade of mango trees.

What Travelers Say

The highlight of our entire Madagascar trip. Our guide's knowledge of the wildlife was extraordinary — he spotted a tiny chameleon I would have walked right past. Magical experience!

Sarah & Tom
London, United Kingdom

I've traveled to 40 countries and this was one of the most authentic nature experiences I've ever had. The pirogue ride alone was worth it. The lemurs were the cherry on top.

Hans Müller

Our guide was passionate, patient, and incredibly fun. My kids (8 and 11) were completely captivated. They're still talking about the chameleons weeks later. Highly recommended for families!
