Centrest Sejour
Centrest Séjour is a charming, modest hotel situated on the outskirts of Ranomafana village, surrounded by lush tropical gardens and the beautiful green landscapes of Madagascar’s eastern rainforest. Just a short drive from the entrance to Ranomafana National Park, the hotel offers a peaceful and convenient base for exploring one of the country’s most important wildlife reserves. With views towards the surrounding mountains and rainforest, its relaxed atmosphere and natural setting make it a welcoming place to return to after a day of adventure.
Accommodation is modest yet welcoming with a selection of rooms and traditionally styled bungalows nestled among the gardens. Rooms are modestly furnished, offering essential comforts such as comfortable beds, mosquito nets, fans and private bathrooms. The hotel also features a pleasant restaurant with an open-air terrace, where guests can enjoy a selection of Malagasy and international dishes while taking in the surrounding greenery. A welcoming bar and attractive garden areas provide additional spaces to relax and unwind.
Centrest Séjour is particularly well suited to travellers whose main focus is exploring the extraordinary biodiversity of Ranomafana National Park. The nearby rainforest is home to numerous species of lemur, including the rare golden bamboo lemur, alongside colourful chameleons, frogs and an incredible variety of birdlife. While the hotel is relatively basic compared with Madagascar’s more luxurious lodges, it offers good value, friendly hospitality and an excellent location for wildlife enthusiasts. For those looking for a comfortable and practical base rather than luxury, Centrest Séjour is a very good choice.
