]]>Nosy Be
Nosy Be means “big island” in the Malagasy language and it’s one of the largest islands off the coast of Madagascar. It grew into a popular tourist resort over the years thanks to its sun-kissed sandy beaches.
Nosy Tsarabanjina
Located near Nosy Be, Tsarabanjina is another tiny island that doubles down as a popular resort thanks to its stunning white sand beaches and turquoise waters.
Nosy Sakatia
Nosy Sakatia is located off the coast of Nosy Be, and you shouldn’t miss it for the world if you’re already planning to check out this resort. It offers a more secluded atmosphere and tranquil beaches, but the main reason to visit it is its large sea turtle population that you can discover on a snorkeling adventure.
Nosy Komba
Another popular tropical getaway, Nosy Komba also has many sun-kissed beaches in store, but the natural beauty and diverse wildlife of this volcanic island are its biggest draw.

]]>The post Baobab Avenue is One of Madagascar’s Most Stunning Spots appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>This charming spot is located in close proximity to the city of Morondava, and most people use it as a starting point for their trip. You can visit it at any time of the day, but you’ll be most impressed by it if you find yourself here right before sunset, when the avenue looks the most picturesque.
This natural monument stands as a constant reminder of the dense tropical forests that once thrived on Madagascar. Massive deforestation left only around 25 trees behind, but some of them have been around for centuries—if not even thousands of years.
Baobabs are known as one of the most long-lived species of their kind and they’re known as “upside-down trees” because their canopies resemble roots. One of the most amazing trees that you’ll stumble upon while walking down the Avenue of the Baobabs is Baobab Amoureux, formed from two trees that became twisted and grew together across the centuries.

]]>Meet the Animals
There’s a reason why Madagascar is about a group of animals: the country is known for its incredible wildlife. So whether it’s spotting lemurs in V.O.I.M.M.A. Community Park, finding chameleons in the forest, or discovering indiri at Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, make sure to keep your eyes open for some fauna.
Eat, Eat, Eat
The food in Madagascar may not be as well-known as the animals, but it’s no less exciting. We recommend zebu (local cow beef), romazava (meat stewed in tomato and greens), and ravitoto (mashed cassava leaves) to keep your tummy full for your days of adventure.
Visit a Shaman
Whatever ails you, whether it’s a broken heart or something more physical, visiting a local shaman (or healer) is an incredible experience that you won’t forget. Plus, it’s a good way to get to know the local plants traditionally used for medicinal purposes.
