Madagascar, also called The Big Island, is one of the most beautiful places on the planet, where the wild nature reigns supreme. The fourth largest island in the world has some characteristics that make it unique, thanks to the presence of endemic plants and animals. Nowhere else in the world, in fact, can you see certain species. This is also why Madagascar is an exclusive destination for the most discerning travelers and the curious ones should not miss it.
At least once in your life you should plan a visit in the sixth continent, as it is sometimes called. Packed with a diverse geography, the landscape changes when moving from one area to another. The view of the traveler will embrace, metaphorically, hills and mountains, lakes and rivers, forests, deserts and beautiful beaches.
The beaches of Madagascar are presented as the typical dream location, just like you see in television documentaries. Some of the most beautiful are found in the archipelago of Nosy Be, consisting of a handful of islands. The largest, which bears the same name has become, in recent years, the most popular tourist destination. The most lively beach of Nosy Be is Madirokely. Rich accommodation is suitable for tourists who want to experience the typical comfortable vacation in the tropics. From here you can take boat trips to visit the nearby islands or go diving.
Those who want to get away from the tourist spots and deepen the contact with nature, following the slower pace, you can navigate by boat to nearby Nosy Sakatia and walk on its two beaches. One of them in particular will surprise you for its rugged beauty and unspoilt nature. Be enchanted by the beauty of the place, but be careful not to get lost in the forest.
Nosy Komba is a small island of fishermen and craftsmen. Its beaches are comparable to small jewelry as here you can swim in crystal-clear. Nosy Iranja you could take your breath away, believing that you are in a movie. Formed by two small islands, connected by a long strip of sand and surrounded by a beautiful sea it is difficult to let you go on. A place like this stays in your heart forever. Nosy Fanihy offers a delightful little coral bay where you can spend a few hours in the day. The lack of accommodation facilities will not allow you to stop there for more though. Do not forget the part of the north-eastern coast, known as Vanilla Coast. Finally, Antisiranana, located in the extreme north of Madagascar is worth visiting. It is like a treasure chest that hides its jewels, tiny bays with soft sand.
