Information on Areas Visited
MADAGASCAR
Its teeming fertile forests and geographical isolation have served to preserve and
propagate 'nature's design laboratory' in a mix found nowhere else on earth.
Madagascar's forests are a shimmering, seething mass of a trillion stems and dripping
leaves.
Antananarivo
Antananarivo, better known in the short version Tana, is the bustling capital of
Madagascar with about 2,000,000 inhabitants. Situated in the high plateau, the city wasin 1610 by a Malagasy King. To protect the newly gained territory he left 1000 men behind and that's how Antananarivo got its name (town of 1000).
It has developed to a quite interesting city with a lot of contrasts.
Thus that Tana habits the country's major international airport, most visitors will find themselves at least passing through the city. But you should spend some days here and explore the city, visit the market places and Roya. Roya is a palace and one of the main features of Tana. It is built on the highest hill and can be seen from for tens of kilometers in any direction.
Ile St Marie
Ile St. Marie, Madagascar is known for its beautiful white sand beaches and coral reefs. Its dense vegetation and the difficulty of navigating the lagoons which surround it, made it an ideal base for pirates and, later a colony for convicts. Today the island is a vacation paradise. It has the world's only pirates' cemetery and visitors can walk among cashew and cinnamon trees, snorkel from the offshore islet or dive from one of the beautiful sandbanks. The island is less touristy than other resort islands of Madagascar, making it an ideal location to relax and enjoy the sunshine.
From July to September, humpback whales can be seen playing in the ocean and breeching out of the sea in the narrow canal that separates the island from the mainland. They can be seen everywhere from the island but it is best to take a whale watching cruise and get an up-close look at these magnificent grey giants.
