Frequently Asked Questions

What wildlife can we realistically expect to see around Paradisier Field in Bora, Madagascar?

While Bora isn't a big game destination like East Africa, we love the unique lemur species you can spot here, particularly the critically endangered northern sportive lemur. Keep your eyes peeled for chameleons too; they are surprisingly abundant. The birdlife is also exceptional, with many endemic species flitting through the canopy.

When is the absolute best time to visit Paradisier Field for optimal weather and wildlife viewing?

We recommend visiting during the dry season, from April to October. The humidity is lower, making exploration more comfortable, and the vegetation thins out a bit, which can help with spotting wildlife. The sunsets during these months are simply sensational.

Beyond the lodge itself, what are the must-do activities we should book when staying at Paradisier Field?

We absolutely insist you take a guided walk into the Bora reserve to find those elusive lemurs and chameleons. The lodge also organizes boat trips along the coast, which we find incredibly rewarding for spotting marine life and enjoying the dramatic coastline. Don't miss a sunset cruise if they offer one.

What is the general vibe and accommodation style like at Paradisier Field? Is it rustic or more upscale?

Paradisier Field strikes a perfect balance. The lodge feels luxurious and timeless, with comfortable, well appointed rooms that blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. It's not overly formal, but you'll find excellent service and delicious, locally inspired meals.

What are the practicalities regarding safety and health for travellers visiting Paradisier Field?

Madagascar requires certain vaccinations, so consult your doctor well in advance. Regarding safety, we've always felt secure at Paradisier Field; the staff are vigilant and the location is remote and peaceful. Standard precautions against mosquitoes are advised, especially during the wetter months.
