Located in the immediate vicinity of the Tsingy du Bemaraha, the hotel is situated on a woody-covered-easily-accessible hill, overlooking the Manambolo River and the village of Bekopaka. There are 20 comfortable bungalows and a spacious restaurant that offers a covered terrace to enable one appreciate the more than 2200 panoramic view. The swimming pool, situated near the restaurant, provides you with an unforgettable view of the spectacular and splendid landscape.
Notable landscape features are the tsingys and the Manambolo River. Tsingys are karstic plateaus in which groundwater has undercut the elevated uplands, and has gouged caverns and fissures into the limestone. Because of local conditions, the erosion is patterned vertically as well as horizontally. In several regions on western Madagascar, centering on this National Park and adjacent Nature Reserve, the superposition of vertical and horizontal erosion patterns has created dramatic forests of limestone needles. The Manambolo river originates in the highlands of Madagascar , about 80 miles west of Antananarivo, the capital city of the country. The Manambolo, deep red-orange in color from eroded sediment, descends through a largely deforestated landscape as it heads toward the Mozambique Channel.
