The traditional Banga is a mud or coconut-leaf house. Huts are normally small- made by the boy of the house that want some independance from his family. Often painted with fun: here we have the "white house"....

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.
