西多摩郡剧孟It is worth going. It is best to drive or charter a car. Six of the eight known baobab trees in the world are unique to Madagascar, while only one is distributed on the African continent. This high concentration of species makes it the epicenter of the evolution of baobab trees. Madagascar’s “Baobab Avenue” houses hundreds of towering baobab trees, some more than 800 years old, and trunks intertwine to form magnificent landscapes, while other parts of Africa lack iconic communities of similar size. Madagascar baobab trees have evolved super-strong water storage mechanisms due to the short rainy season (11-3 month): the trunk is loose and porous, and the water storage of a single tree can reach 2-100 tons. Local residents even take the initiative to inject rainwater into them for use in the dry season. Its fruits, tender leaves, and so on provide food for humans and animals, and its trunk storage becomes a lifeline in the dry season, known as the “tree of life,” while the baobab tree in other parts of Africa is relatively ecologically dependent. In Madagascar legend, the baobab tree is a miracle of "inverted" growth, symbolizing the "mother of the forest", and is given the status of the asylum of all. Important ceremonies such as local weddings are often held on the baobab tree avenue.

juki235Madagascar is the island with the richest flora and fauna in the world, and the Andasibe National Forest Reserve here has rich flora and fauna. Especially the animals here, many of which are unique to Madagascar and are very precious. It is really worth visiting and exploring.

yangduoduo17Don't look down on this place. Backward countries also have historical sites, although this one is a work from the colonial era. In fact, this palace existed before the colonial era. It should be a relatively simple one, and it should be made of wood. It was after the arrival of the colonists that they transformed it into a stone building in accordance with European customs, perhaps by wrapping the original wooden structure inside.
44.6/5yangduoduo17We originally planned to spend two full days here, but due to the cancellation of the Air Madagascar flight, we ended up with only one day left. What a fulfilling day it was. Our excellent guide Ludo decided to fit the two days into one day and we saw a lot - lemurs, birds, chameleons and even a fossa (some kind of mammal). I wish I could stay here longer. Maybe we weren't here during peak season, but there were a lot of times when we were the only ones here, which was very special.
54.2/5yangduoduo17We rented a car with a driver to visit this place and other places around Tana. The guide was great, spoke good English and was very knowledgeable about the UNESCO World Heritage. As others have mentioned, this palace, revered by the Malagasy people, was packed with students. The guide was well paced and gave us time to ask questions and give feedback. The scenery was stunning. Highly recommend this tour to get a brief history of Madagascar.
64.5/5yangduoduo17Parking is a bit expensive but hey, it's to be done so don't regret it. Departed at 7am with a park guide. Before entering the park we bought some stuff for a picnic which is preferable when we want to see the maximum. Then we started hiking with stunning views, beautiful nature and my guide made me discover all the beauties of this park. Take care to take a big bottle of water because we will need it. Don't forget the sunscreen because the shadows on the site are not very distinct. It was 16 km of pure bliss. Special mention to my park guide Zozoly who shared his passion for the park with us, he had the patience of an angel and let me take all the pictures I wanted and even told me where to find cool angles to take pictures. Gold medal 🥇 Zozoly the best tour guide.

_ZF***93The animals are very special. There are seven species of lemurs here, and they are very friendly. The guides will help feed them bananas to attract them to come down and take pictures. There are also crocodiles, chameleons, lizards, and turtles. There are four or five kinds of turtles, including super-large turtles that are over 200 years old, over 100 years old, and over 80 years old.

多多Madagascar is amazing and Tsingy is amazing too. The road from Morondava is very challenging and takes almost a whole day. But it is worth it. The excursion lasts a few hours. Don't forget to bring sunscreen and insect repellent because there are a lot of mosquitoes. It is not a good destination if you are afraid of heights. You need to climb a lot and they give you safety belts but the rocks are still very sharp. So shorts are not the best idea because your legs will be scratched. The view is one of a kind. You will remember it for the rest of your life
94.7/5juki235When you come to Madagascar, you must come to watch dolphins and whales, because the waters near here are often visited by killer whales. When you go out to sea by boat, you will see groups of killer whales. When their black and white bodies jump out of the water, it is really exciting and you will never forget this magical moment.
