Lokobe over night jungle tour

About this tour

Djema overnight jungle tour – 1st day

We arrive by boat after noon at Djema resort’s fabulous sandy beach on the south side of Lokobe National Park. The owner Steve and his family are waiting for us with refreshments and fresh tropical fruits from the garden. 

You’re likely to see families of lemurs in the trees around Djema, and often, also there are lemurs resting during the day in the palm dome of the communal dining room.

There’s time to snorkel the coral reef off Djema or visit the neighbouring native village. After sunset, our guides will arrive and our 2-3 hour adventure in the jungle at night will start! By the light of head and flashlights, we can admire the day animals resting peacefully in the jungle trees and the hunting nocturnal animals. You will meet mouse and other nocturnal lemurs, geckos, dwarf and other chameleons, snakes, spiders and more. After the tour we will be treated to a Malagasy seafood dinner. Then head to our puritan but cozy bungalow in the beautifully manicured tropical gardens of Djema.  

Djema overnight jungle tour – 2nd day

Wake up to a fresh, hearty breakfast in the communal dining room on the fabulous sandy beach. Fantastic views of the ocean and Nosy Komba Island opposite.

Then there are more options.

Accompanied by Steve’s brother, you can try a traditional Madagascan canoe and a good paddle over the coral reefs along the national park’s coast.

You can also just sunbathe. 

And you can snorkel on the coral reefs, swimming in directly from the shore or jumping in from the canoe, in several places.

And if that wasn’t enough, in addition you can also choose a shorter, 1-1.5 hour day jungle trek! 

Shortly before noon, our speedboat arrives, we say goodbye to the Djema and head back to the marina in Hell Village and from there to your hotel. 

Why unique?

A night jungle trek is like no other. Fantastic atmosphere, extraordinary creatures. Only someone who’s been on one knows that. A dense, humid, sultry dark black jungle, broken only by the light of our headlamps and torches, and here and there we come across special animals, either resting or hunting at night. Night lemurs, special dwarf and other chameleons, night geckos, giant snakes, etc…

And, if that’s not enough, sleeping in the middle of a national park in a well-kept jungle, woken up by the cries of lemur families and fall asleep among the sounds of the jungle, is like being in a nature movie.

And on top of that, there’s the chance to relax on a completely private sandy beach, snorkel on the coral reefs and even try paddling a traditional Malagasy canoe.
