Frequently Asked Questions

What unique wildlife encounters can we anticipate when staying at Hack-IT 2023 in Ranomafana?

We love that Hack-IT 2023's location deep within Ranomafana means you're perfectly positioned for spotting some of Madagascar's rarest lemurs, particularly the Golden Bamboo Lemur and Greater Bamboo Lemur, often right on the lodge's periphery. The early morning guided walks from the lodge are sensational for birdwatching, revealing species like the Rufous-headed Ground-roller.

When is the optimal time to plan our visit to Hack-IT 2023 for the best Ranomafana experience?

We recommend visiting Hack-IT 2023 during the dry season, roughly May to October, when the forest trails are more manageable and lemur activity is generally higher. While the rainforest can still deliver a refreshing shower, the cooler temperatures make trekking far more enjoyable for exploring the park's rich biodiversity.

What is the overall ambiance and unique character of Hack-IT 2023, beyond just being a "hotel"?

The lodge feels luxurious and timeless, blending seamlessly into the rainforest with its elegant, locally-inspired design and comfortable amenities. We particularly appreciate the expansive verandas where you can savor the sounds of the forest and the sensational sunsets over the canopy, truly connecting you with the wild.

How accessible is Hack-IT 2023, and what should we know about getting there and around?

Hack-IT 2023 is nestled quite remotely, requiring a drive from Fianarantsoa, which we find adds to its exclusive, adventurous appeal. While the lodge provides excellent guidance for transfers, we advise arranging a sturdy 4x4 vehicle for the journey and comfortable walking shoes for exploring the surrounding trails.

Are there any specific activities or local insights Hack-IT 2023 offers that go beyond typical Ranomafana park visits?

Beyond the essential lemur treks, we've found Hack-IT 2023 excels at facilitating authentic cultural experiences, like visits to nearby Tanala villages to learn about traditional life and crafts. They also offer fantastic night walks, where we've had incredible encounters with nocturnal lemurs and chameleons, a truly magical experience.
