Time + Tide, a pioneer in the luxury safari and island sector has added a new lodge, Tsara Komba to its collection of African properties. Joining Miavana by Time + Tide as the brand’s second property in Madagascar, Tsara Komba sits off the north-west coast of Madagascar against the backdrop of a former volcanic island. Featuring eight eco-consciously designed suites built around the main lodge, the architecture of Tsara Komba has been conceptualised to harmonise with the surrounding ocean and jungle. Nestled into their own private hilltop space amidst manicured indigenous gardens, each suite features a unique minimalistic style, using locally sourced materials such as rosewood and Ravinala leaves matched with waxed concrete and warm hues.


Furniture and decorative items have been sourced from antique dealers or handmade by local craftsmen, showcasing the character of the area. Guests will have a full forest-to-reef safari experience at the property. Water activities include scuba diving, snorkelling, swimming with whale sharks and humpback whale watching. There’s also kayaking, sunset cruises and deep-sea fishing excursions led by highly experienced guides. On land, guests can explore lush tropical forests on guided nature walks, encountering species such as Macaco lemurs and colourful chameleons whilst passing through vanilla and wild pepper plantations. Through initiatives such as sourcing fish from local communities and cultivating produce from its own botanical Eden Garden, Time + Tide supports the local economy while offering guests a lens into local life and a direct connection with the communities.
