Designed for divers of all levels, the scuba diving and safari packages offered by Jenman African Safaris combine pristine marine ecosystems, vibrant coastal cultures, and iconic wildlife destinations to deliver something unforgettable for everyone, whether you’re trekking through landscapes or exploring coral reefs.
Madagascar’s northwest coast is a diver’s paradise and one of Africa’s Eden’s most spectacular marine environments. On Nosy Sakatia, calm bays, colourful reefs, and rich biodiversity await. Dive sites range from shallow reef gardens to drift dives along coral walls. When you’re not diving, explore local villages, hike forest trails, or simply relax under the shade of a palm tree.
The Sakatia Dive Centre, a certified NAUI Dream Destination, offers exceptional guidance and training from an experienced and passionate team. With over 20 dive sites between 1 and 20 km from the lodge, divers can expect an array of healthy reefs and exciting encounters.
Water temperatures in Nosy Sakatia range from 26–30°C, with visibility often between 15–30m depending on the season. The best time to dive is between April and December, with July to October offering the best wildlife spotting above and below the surface.
Beyond the sea, Madagascar delivers forest hikes, lemur sightings, and local cultural immersion. Packages here often include visits to Lokobe Reserve, Nosy Komba, and Tanikely, where conservation and adventure go hand in hand.
Each Scuba Diving and Safari Package is crafted to offer a seamless transition between ocean and inland adventure. Whether you’re snorkelling over coral gardens or swapping your wetshoes for hiking boots, you’ll find yourself immersed in Madagascar in a way that few get to experience.
