ANKARANA NATIONAL PARK

It covers an area of 18,000 hectares. It has a set of caves, underground rivers, canyons, «Tsingy», dry and green forests, about 100 km from the city of Antsiranana (Diego Suarez). Its caves served as a refuge and necropolis for the Antakarana people, during the tribal war with King Radama I, in the nineteenth century, and have now become natural sanctuaries of ancestral beliefs. The Ankarana massif is the second place in Madagascar, after the Bemaraha reserve (north of Morondava), where you can admire
the «Tsingy», karst formations with an amazing vision, hundreds of spires and limestone peaks projected towards the sky. The park is located in a pleasant area and has a very particular and endemic flora and fauna.

NOSY IRANJA

The island of Nosy Iranja is located 45 km south of Nosy Be. Ranked among the most beautiful islands in the world. This little corner of paradise consists of two islets: Iranja Be and Iranja Kely, linked together at low tide by an expanse of white sand of about 2 km. The turquoise water offers a striking contrast with the whiteness of the sand and the green of the trees of the travelers.
