Tampolodge was founded by Giuseppe, an Italian former researcher who worked on several projects in the region for the ''Peregrine Fund'' and who was soon captivated by the beauty of the place. In 2001, the site also served as basecamp for the French botanist and biologist Francis Hallé while exploring the tree tops of the rainforest during his expedition known as ''Radeau des Cimes'' (navigating the tree tops with an aerostatic ballon).

The lodge has eleven bungalows, divided into four family bungalows and seven twin bungalows, and a restaurant. All bungalows are built in style of Malagasy huts with materials found on site and blend harmonically into the nature. The lodge faces the tranquil waters of Antongil Bay and is surrounded by a garden of cinnamon trees, clove shrubs, vanilla orchids and majestic mango and lychee trees.
