North Madagascar
in Madagascar

Life in North Madagascar revolves around the sea. Offshore islands, clear turquoise water and long sandy beaches give this part of the country a wonderfully relaxed feel. Nosy Be is the best known destination, though the region stretches far beyond its resorts with rainforest hikes, local markets and quiet fishing villages. Wildlife is never far away either, from lemurs hidden in the forests to whales passing offshore during the season. Warm, wild and slightly untamed, this corner of the island is easy to fall for.
