Conditions are simple and rudimentary, based on the traditional way of living and with a focus of living in an environmentally friendly, low impact way.
Bad bits :

Good bits :
Possiblity to shower on site using thermal showers (heated by the sun), or in the near village after expeditions.
Lighting is provided by oil lamps, candles and camp fires.
Food is organic, traditional and fresh, and all prepared and served to you.
Accomodation in the near village of Nioumachoua can be provided if required with electricity, water some extra comfort (£70 extra/week) but you will miss the contact with nature and talks with the nocturnal Lemurs.
All expeditions ( humpback-cetacean photo-ID, turtle nest recording, discovery walks, Lemurs and giant bat monitoring etc...) will start from Moidjio beach. We will also take some time to build up the research centre with our eco-friendly hands. Where possible we will also help clear up beaches and get involved in the social life at Nioumachoua town.
