Returning early to the airport this morning you will fly by charter plane to the southeast of the island, heading to the Ifotaka Community Forest to spend 4 nights at Mandrare River Camp. This owner run luxury tented camp offers a unique and exclusive safari experience with amazing wildlife and cultural experiences, excellent guides and a beautiful remote location on the banks of the Mandrare River. Sitting round the campfire at night will definitely be one of those “Sundowner Moments”. Remember, this is just a starting point idea to give you a flavour of what we can do. All our honeymoons are uniquely designed for each honeymoon couple. Contact us on 01273 923100 or holidays@sundownerholidays.co.uk to start designing yours.

Three full days to explore this fascinating region. Enjoy guided walks and 4×4 drives at day and night as you explore the gallery and spiny forests in search of Verreaux’s Sifaka, ring-tailed sportive lemurs and mouse lemurs. A huge highlight is also taking guided walks to the sacred forests and tombs of the Antadroy Tribe to witness the bizarre and fascinating traditions of these ancient people. Want to spend more time exploring? We design every honeymoon from scratch. Call 01273 923100 to start designing yours.

Day 6: Ifotaka Forest to Manafiafy
This morning you will be collected from camp and transferred 6hrs east to the coast, where you will continue your exclusive adventure with 4 nights at Manafiafy Beach and Rainforest Lodge. Also owned and run by the Mandrare team this secluded beach retreat is definitely well off the tourist radar and offers the perfect mix of R&R and wildlife & beach activities – we particularly love the romantic island getaway, spending a night in a tree tent!

Three full days to enjoy this little slice of paradise. With rainforest and ocean the activities at Manafiafy include day & night guided walks in the rainforest, snorkelling, canoeing, mangrove motorboat excursions, village & market excursions, beach picnics and whale watching (June to September). Want to spend more time on the beach?

Sundowner raw footage

The latest word on the street about Sundowner’s Madagascar holidays:

Her suggestions were amazing, our expectations were pretty high to begin with, but were massively exceeded in each place without exception. Each transfer went off without a hitch, and she’d primed each hotel that it was an anniversary celebration and we were greeted with champagne at every one of them, one of them even made us a cake!

Stewart Brooke South Africa & Seychelles

The selection of accommodation was exactly what we would have chosen from colonial Elephant house to coastal Lavender Manor. The fab boutique hotel in Cape Town was a great location for New Year celebrations and the trip to Franschoek and the winelands fabulous, not just the wine hic hic but the journey there and the spectacular scenery on the drive over.
Thank you for a great experience and abundance of memories.

Sue McCarthy South Africa

From the minute we checked in at the Emirates desk to the minute we landed back in the UK, everything was perfect. Our accommodation was WOW, our transfer drivers and trips were WOW. I don’t want to share where we stayed because they were so special and if we want to go back, I don’t want to find them unavailable!!!

Brenda Douglas South Africa

We can honestly say it was the best holiday we have ever had. The small boutique guest houses were all amazing and certainly gave us a real flavour of the country. We drove to Cape Town where our lovely hotel was a perfect base to explore this beautiful place and beaches along with all the sights.

Sue James South Africa

Jo arranged our once in a lifetime trip to South Africa and we could not have had a better time. It has been the best holiday we have ever had and will certainly be using Sundowner again for any other long haul trips. Don’t hesitate to give them a call – you wont regret it

Sally Dowell South Africa

We have just arrived back after the most incredible road trip around South Africa. Jo organised everything perfectly for us, we didn’t want to come home. We would even go to say it was our best ever holiday and we have been to some lovely destinations. The whole holiday was just perfect in every way.

Cheryl Gallo South Africa

We had a self-drive holiday to KwaZuluNatal which was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We can thoroughly recommend this part of South Africa. The people encountered were delightful and we are already thinking about a return visit.

Barry & Chris South Africa

The trip itself was very well organised and ran incredibly smoothly, something which is not always achievable in East Africa! The partners they work with in Tanzania are of top quality: the guides, accommodation, connections, transport and itinerary were really well thought through and of good quality.

Matt Baker Tanzania

The boutique Guest Houses Sundowners chose were exceptional – fabulous settings, quality and service. The whole trip was excellently planned and organised, no hitches at all.

Lucy Berkhout South Africa

The camps we stayed in were extremely well run and comfortable, and the guides were excellent. They made sure we also got to see many of the rest of the wildlife of the region – everything from amazing numbers of Impala, Giraffe, Elephant, Zebra, lions, Cheetah and Leopard, and even Wild Dog that we had hoped to see but doubted we would be so lucky!

Peter Haine Tanzania

We loved everything about Zimbabwe. Amazing staff & guides. Genuine people creating unforgettable memories. The game viewing was wonderful. The trip of a lifetime … so far!

Grant Fieldhouse Zimbabwe

Mana Pools in particular was fantastic and I’d place Ruckomechi as probably our best experience in 12 years of African travel. Everything about the camp was first class and the scenery and wildlife superb.

Shaun Powell Zimbabwe

We loved it all – the camps, the food (mostly), the animals, the scenery, the guides. It was a true escape from the maddening world to the peace and beauty that is Africa.

Clive Fielder Zimbabwe

A fantastic holiday. We loved seeing all the different animals, birds in their natural habitat – it was chance of a lifetime.

Tracey Lennon Zimbabwe

We had a great time in Namibia; it is absolutely stunning. In terms of stand out experiences, I think neither of us will forget driving down the Skeleton coast, along the endless salt road.  We thought it was incredibly eerie, but also spectacular. The flight from Swakopmund over the desert was also amazing. Great recommendations and a brilliant trip.

Julia Mackie Namibia

Great trip! Highlight was the seal kayaking followed by the 4×4 dune driving from Walvis Bay to Sandwich Harbour. Awesome recommendation!

Tom Richards Namibia

Namibia was exceptional and up there with the best places we have ever been in the world. Highlights were Etosha National Park, Sossusvlei and Sesriem Canyon, Kalahari Red Dunes and the drive from Fish River Lodge to Luderitz.

Michelle Epstein Namibia

Very many thanks for arranging a fabulous holiday in Namibia. The evening meal overlooking the Namib desert under the stars, millions of them, was a highlight of our trip. In Damaraland, the views and sunsets were beautiful. We even managed to see a family of desert elephants on one of the excursions. Ongava in Etosha again met all our expectations and the game drives allowed us to see all the animals including the elusive Black Rhinos. Overall, we had a superb time.

Sam Jenson Namibia

We had a great time. The Etosha waterholes provided many hours of entertainment at both camps.  All in all, one of the best holidays and most exciting.

Andy Ray Namibia

We had a brilliant time in Namibia. We saw loads of animals including a leopard in Damaraland which I think was quite unusual, and an aardvark at okonjima, something I’ve never seen before on quite a few safaris! We also saw some of the cheetah chasing a day old giraffe which was exciting! We loved kayaking with seals in Walvis bay as well, the seals were hilarious. Thank you for your help, all of the tours were arranged perfectly and the hire car was great.

Karen O’Donoghue Namibia

A once in a lifetime experience. The combination of the Mara, the Maasai people and the wildlife delivered the real Africa at its very best. Thank you for a unique and amazing holiday.

Eddie Griffiths Kenya

We could not fault a thing about our trip. The Mara safari, the air balloon ride and Diani Beach were just perfect and exceeded all our expectations! It has certainly been a special time, all made the more memorable by the amazing staff we met along the way. We cannot thank you enough.

 

Angela Snudden Kenya Honeymoon

I was not prepared for what the Mara, the wildlife and the Masai people deliver in terms of the full and real safari experience. We had an amazing time and totally fell in love with Kenya.

Jo Boyd Kenya

An absolutely amazing holiday. We were lucky to have some of the best wildlife experiences ever, including a cheetah kill and seeing her bring her cubs over to consume the kill – mesmerising. Then the migration and crossings were incredible to witness. And everyone welcomed the kids with open arms and treated them brilliantly despite their fussy eating! Thanks for the organisation Not sure how we can top the holiday in future.

The Richman Family Kenya

The trip was awesome…we loved the camp, the view was amazing and we found that every trip into the Masai Mara we saw something new (except for the infamous leopards!).

Matthew Todd Kenya

I cannot say enough good things about Saruni Samburu. The rooms are huge with breathtaking views. What separated Saruni from everywhere else was the staff and level of service. It was amazing to have members of the Samburu tribe as the staff. We learnt a lot about their way of life while in camp. The food is incredible, the guides were amazing.

Caroline Green Kenya

We had an amazing time and saw so many animals including the migration and two river crossings. It far exceeded our expectations and we would definitely recommend both the lodges/camps and you to our friends. Hopefully we can go back again one day!

Rebecca Page Kenya

Just got back from the most amazing trip. Got chased by a group of hippos, had breakfast with baboon, impala and elephants and saw a large group of giraffe crossing crocodile infested water. The game drives where amazing as were the lodges. Unguja Beach lodge was just heaven. 12 steps from our own golden beach. Dinner every night was outstanding as were all the staff throughout our stay.

Laura Potts Tanzania & Zanzibar

The organisation and services was perfect especially at Impala Selous Camp which we loved. In particular the friendliness of the staff and the competency of our guides. The mix of jeep, boat and walking was an excellent way to mix up safari and see more of the fauna and flora. And what about taking a breakfast in the bush, incredible!!!

Phillip Hall Tanzania & Zanzibar

The Pongwe resort was a little bit of paradise.  The family chalet with 2 bedrooms and stunning views over the bays with morning coffee was excellent. The food was first class hotel standard and the staff so friendly, I have never seen so many people smile so genuinely. It was so relaxing and we totally loved it.

The Dunn Family Tanzania

We had a wonderful time away. Lake manze camp was outstanding – beautiful setting and such great staff. So was Pongwe – again staff, food, location fantastic!

Emily Baker Tanzania & Zanzibar

Selous Riverside was the perfect balance I was looking for – basic and far from anywhere but there was hot showers and cold beer at the end of the day. We loved how we had the same safari guide and the same waiter for the duration of the stay, we really felt at home and still pine for David! We did an early morning walking safari, a riverboat safari and 2 full day safaris which were awesome. As a special treat we were taken far away to some hot springs for a swim…absolutely idyllic.

Sam Bowden Tanzania

Selous Riverside was great with Clive and Raine being great hosts – I even organised a football match with the local school children and some lodge staff photos to follow! We had our own special meal with camp fire outside our lodge!

Matthew Robb Tanzania & Zanzibar

Our holiday was truly amazing. The itinerary was superb. Lake Manze was an experience that we’ll never forget. Having elephants eating their lunch feet from where we sat our veranda was an unbelievable sight. On our final night at Manze lions were prowling around the tents which was pretty frightening but awesome. Unguja was off the scale – Ralph and particular Elies were superb hosts and the location activities and accommodation were second to none. The trip of a lifetime and a fitting way to mark 25 years of marriage!

Matthew Robb Tanzania & Zanzibar

Thank you for arranging a fantastic holiday. We both really enjoyed ourselves and felt totally refreshed upon our return. The game viewing was spectacular, we were so lucky to see the pantheon of game on offer including hyena, wild dog and leopard, as well as a different pride of lion on each day we went out.

Hazel Bellfield Tanzania

Zanzibar was beautiful and relaxing – we absolutely loved Unguja Lodge, everything was so relaxed, real barefoot luxury.  The owners are a great couple, their family was there for the holidays too. Only one other couple there, so great service and solitude.  We travel a lot, and have seen many countries and places but Zanzibar and Unguja Lodge are the first place we truly would return for a second visit.

Tracey Newman Tanzania & Zanzibar

We had an amazing time.  Everything was brilliant (even the baboon leaving a gift on the bed in the Serengeti!). I think Nick’s highlight was the lion cubs.  I loved all the safari, but seeing the turtles hatch in Pangani was truly awesome. All the accommodation was exactly what we had hoped for.  I hadn’t realised we would have a tent on our first night as well.

 

Jacqui Davids Tanzania

The whole trip has been a fantastic experience and everyone had a terrific time.  The recommendations and arrangements were faultless. All the camps were excellent. The favourite was the camp in the Serengeti, it was the most basic but had the best atmosphere and was really among the wildlife, we had loins and leopards round the tents during the night!!!! The wildlife was more than we expected, we saw absolutely everything and more.  Score out of ten for the whole trip……12 A++++++!!!! We both think it was magic!!!

Prue Richard Tanzania

We enjoyed the trip immensely!  We found all the arrangements faultless and the food & locations on all occasions, was exceptional as promised. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the safari, it was quite beyond our expectations;  both exciting, informative and personal. It was definitely a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience. The holiday flew by and we have come home both rested and fulfilled. Thank you for your kind & helpdul advice.

The Dunn Family Tanzania

Was one of the best experiences. Zambia was just what we needed. The people were wonderful. Very impressed with all  your recommendations. You managed to keep the whole family happy.

The Sturridge Family Zambia

Every part was wonderful, perfect in every way. We fell in love with Zambia – excellent hospitality, very friendly people, lovely personal service. An amazing holiday. We are desperate to go back.

Victoria Campbell Zambia

Thank you for an unforgettable honeymoon full of life, adventure, and lasting memories. The staff, activities, food, drink and atmosphere at all the lodges were brilliant.

Chris Hanson Zambia

We loved the safari in Zambia. Such brilliant, friendly guides. The diving at Thonga was another favourite because of the colours and variety of sea life. All in all, it was a great fun, exciting, informative and relaxing holiday.

Isaac Tilney Zambia & South Africa

We loved Zambia and Coral 15:41 Lodge – outstanding accommodation, food and service, remote locations and exclusivity. Better than the best of dreams, it was a trip to heaven.

Siobhan Joyce Zambia & Mozambique

The safari was simply breathtaking. What a superb varied range of experiences – each as good as each other in their own way. An amazing country. I would recommend it to anyone.

Jane Hadfield Zambia

Your agents in Botswana were outstanding. The elephants at Chobe were a particular favourite – could have watched them for hours. This trip was everything we expected – and much more!

Mark Cooke Botswana

Thanks so much for arranging everything it all went perfectly with no hitches. We loved both Royal Zambezi Lodge and Baia Sonambula, both made us feel very special and we were upgraded to a deluxe suite at the Royal Zambezi which was amazing! Would definitely recommend both. We had an absolutely fantastic time!

Alistair Lewis Zambia & Mozambique, September 2015

Flatdogs: Game sightings were very good, too, although we had just one brief lion sighting in 3 full days (4 nights). We got very good compensation in the form of several leopard sightings (6 leopards on the best night drive!), as well as other animals. The safari tents in Flatdogs were very good, too, and the Treehouse was gorgeous. Food was also very good and the staff very friendly. Guides were very knowledgeable and experienced.

Clare Hunter Zambia

The experience was fantastic. The African culture, the wildlife and all the personal touches from the lodge hosts. A measure of a good holiday is one you want to repeat;  we would both do this trip again tomorrow – brilliant.

Rosalie Hughes Botswana

We loved every minute of our safari – each place and lodge visited was very different, with its own unique experiences. All in all it was a wonderful adventure with the most beautiful of scenery and people. Our driver was very informative and determined to find us every wild animal under the sun! No rhino but we did see a spitting cobra and a massive python!

Jess Adkins Botswana

Thank you for putting together such a wonderful holiday for us at such short notice.  Everything went smoothly.  Fantastic game viewing on safari and very relaxing on Mauritius. We will not hesitate to recommend your excellent services to friends and family.

The McGimley Family Botswana & Mauritius

Everything worked like clockwork, making life easy, excursions energetic and fun – the total experience has made me want to return to Zambia. We loved the lodges you chose … all very different from each other which made it fun.

Amanda Cowley Zambia

Memorable trip to fantastic locations. Don’t think I have ever seen sunsets as spectacular as the ones in Botswana.

Carol Tucker Botswana

Thanks for your advice and recommendations which were really tailored to what we wanted. It was an amazing 3 weeks – gutted to be home. By the way, we saw wild dogs at Kwara!

Liam James Botswana

We loved the safari in Botswana.  The lodges and the quality of guides was truly outstanding. It was a phenomenal experience that give us memories to last a lifetime.

Harry Webb Botswana

The honeymoon of a lifetime! Great service from James. We loved the safari in the Okavango Delta – great guides/trackers, good service and saw some great animals. A fabulous location.

Colin Brown Botswana

We had an absolutely fantastic time. You totally understood what we were looking for and delivered in every way. Your Madagascar team were great, helpful and flexible.

Sarah Mott Madagascar

Our itinerary was just right and the suggestions of the sites did not disappoint. I believe the main aim of our trip that my wife gave you was “lemurs, lemurs, lemurs”. You helped us to achieve this in spades and in so many different settings.

Terry Dalton Madagascar

It was a super and absolutely unforgettable holiday. We were so lucky with wildlife – with lemurs, chameleons, frogs, birds, strange plants all around us. A big thank you to all.

Ernest Jenson Madagascar

Thank you for all help in arranging my trip, which was hugely successful. Tsara  Komba, with  its magical setting, was lovely. Also, the Le Pavillon de l’Emyrne in Tana was perfect. Again the staff could not have been more charming, positive and helpful. Having the garden to sit and read in, was a welcome retreat  as Tana is hectic.

David McCue Madagascar

I just wanted to tell you what an amazing time we had in Madagascar. It all went perfectly and we enjoyed very minute of it. The visits to the Reserves and the wildlife we saw were out of this world. Our guide, Eunice was a great guy and a pleasure to be with. All in all we had the most wonderful time.

Sue Lesley Madagascar

A fantastic holiday with an amazing combination of charming people, extraordinary wildlife, stunning contrast of terrain. Thank you for all your recommendations.

Keith Bye Madagascar

FANTASTIC! It was the most incredible experience. We loved the variety that you had planned for us, from the rainforest in Andasibe to Isalo which was stunning (the hotel was really special). Ifaty was also a really interesting place but the piece de resistance was definitely Anjajavy. We thought we had died and gone to heaven! The honeymoon package was wonderful but the best part was Cedric and his passion for the environment. Another aspect which we were thrilled by was the quality of the guides. A special thanks for the guide in Isalo and Ifaty – I think he was called Sedeer. He was so knowledgeable and good company.

Judith Lamb Madagascar

Our Holiday was AMAZING! Loved Vakona. And Anjajavy…well ‘paradise’ just about sums it up! BEST Place we have ever stayed.

 

Mel Fewtrell Madagascar

I have just returned from a holiday in Madagascar. We both had an amazing and enjoyable time. We were very impressed with our driver/guide. He was helpful, full of interesting information, answered all our questions (and there were a lot!) with good humour and excellent English. Always flexible and willing to cope with special requests (especially for my photo stops) and even taught us some Malagasy. At Andasibe National Park we had a top class wildlife guide who was very knowledgeable and his ability to spot wildlife in the forest was uncanny. He even managed to spot a Leaf-Tailed Gecko (a master of camouflage in the wild) which was amazing.

Sarah Hay Madagascar

We just wanted to say thank you for organising such a wonderful holiday for us. We had such an amazing 10 days and everything went just as planned. We would highly recommend James to our friends and the order that we visited each place was perfect. We were lucky in Cape Town as one of the days was warm and sunny so we were able to get up to Table Mountain before we left for Hermanus. We also braved great white shark cage diving and saw plenty of whales on our lovely walk along the Hermanus coastal path.

Lina Valent South Africa

We had a fantastic time – even the long journeys between parks were full of interest.  Our driver and guide were excellent … looked after us very well. James provided a helpful and friendly service at all times to make the perfect safari.  The trip exactly matched our requirements and budget and went exactly to plan.  We came home tired but happy.

Tessa Edwards Tanzania

Superb honeymoon – everything was taken out of our hands so we could completely relax. The quality and detail of accommodation and safari were perfect.

Melissa Mochrie South Africa

This was a holiday of a lifetime.  Apart from the financial investment, we invested a lot of hope in it.  It did not disappoint – everything worked from beginning to end. James designed an excellent itinerary which fully catered for our needs. Satisfying an age range 15-51 is no mean feat and all 6 of us had a great time.

The Chain Family South Africa

Such a fabulous time that it may require a return visit!  A big thank you to James for all his help with bookings and arrangements/advice.

Yvonne Phayre South Africa

Thank you so much for organising our SA trip. So appreciative of all the help and advice James gave me when planning it.  I shall certainly recommend you to my friends as an excellent travel agent to use when thinking of travelling.

Henry Johnson South Africa

We had a wonderful time – everything went well. Great time to go – schools were back so most of the time everywhere was quiet….driving easy and I’d forgotten they drive on the same side as we do! Thanks for putting together a great itinerary – we did lots of walking (forests and beach), canoeing, wine drinking, sight seeing …the Garden Route is such a wonderful part of the country!

Magda Flowers South Africa

Many thanks for all you have done for us for the holiday, it went to so well and all of us had an amazing time. It brought us together as a family and it was super time together.

Natalie Dylan South Africa

We absolutely loved South Africa, the whole holiday was superb – thank you for organising. We fell in love with Cape Town and Trevoyan Guesthouse, the location, restaurants, tourist attractions and would love to return at some point. And the best highlight was definitely Garonga, we loved it. Amazing location & hospitality. We would thoroughly recommend it.

 

Ines Delaware South Africa

Thank you for everything.  The trip went without a hitch and we really enjoyed every minute of it.  I should say a special thanks for suggesting Buffalo Ridge lodge, we saw loads, and the staff there were all fantastic.  It’s great that it really is a community lodge and it’s great to know you are promoting them!

Drew Cottrell South Africa

Thank you for the FABULOUS arrangements on our South Africa safari.

Victoria Medlham South Africa

The honeymoon was fantastic. The best experience. Everything went to plan no problems. The Cape Town car hire was a fantastic recommendation that meant we got to go everywhere. Garonga was just perfect. Accommodation outstanding and Food and service 5*. The highlight…. an encounter with a leopard on safari one morning, got the heart pumping slightly. Thanks for putting it together for us.

Matt Kelley South Africa

I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work with regards to our wedding at Garonga over Christmas.  Everything was perfect and all the people we came into contact with were lovely. We couldn’t have been happier.  The wedding at Garonga was just outstanding and the people at Four Rosmead genuinely couldn’t have done more for us.  Many thanks, once again, for your efforts which were so pivotal in making our dream wedding happen.

Bill Banyon South Africa

Thank you for organising our trip. We had such an amazing time, really a trip of a life time. Everything went smoothly bar a couple of days bad weather in cape town. All the accomondatipn was amazing but in particular Garonga, such a great place. We saw everything and the room, food and service incredible. I really feel that I couldn’t have had a better honeymoon.

Tom Cusston South Africa

Thank you for helping us to arrange what has been one of the best holidays we have ever had. We have seen so much-the most amazing scenery and an incredible range of wildlife that we have come back with over 3000 photos to sort out! Everything went according to plan,all the accomodation was top notch. So thank you again. We will certainly reccomend both you and South Africa to anyone showing any interest in going there.

Sarah Huxley South Africa

Excellent holiday in every respect. Absolutely stunning safari location – great views over river. Didn’t want for anything. Guide Chris was fantastic and fun to be around. Delicious food and staff even made us a happy honeymoon cake!

 

Mr & Mrs Thomas Zambia

Excellent holiday. Spoilt totally at both our lodges. The guide, Andreas was outstanding in knowledge of not just wildlife but also culture, politics and history of the people. He managed his trackers to best advantage and discreetly. Great to be able to view wildlife on foot, on boat and canoe. Staff and locals determined that we saw as much as possible. Endlessly patient and willing to tell us about their lives and country.

Mr & Mrs Milsom Madagascar

Climbed Kili- toughest but most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life. All lodges/ camps and hotels in Tanzania and Uganda were spot-on. Gorrila trekking in Brindi was out of this world. Thank you for recommending the chimpanzee trekking – a great experience.

Mr & Mrs Matthews Uganda & Tanzania
