Ambakivao is a small fishing village located
between the Tsiribihina River and the
Mozambique Channel. It consists of five
hamlets or encampments, belonging to the
Delta Community, in the Belo / Tsiribihina
district, at the Eastern Centre of the Menabe region. There
are about 300 mainly Vezo tribe households that live mainly
from sea fishing but also hunt freshwater fishes, shrimps
and crabs.
The first inhabitants of this place were a Sakalava named
Besabaka and a Vezo, called Gregory. In 1982, the river
Tsiribihina or Vavarano formed a new estuary near Nosy
maitso, in the same locality, hence the name of Ambakivao:
Vavarano vaky vaovao.
Since this environment is calm, your relaxation is assured
in this beautiful natural setting. The landscape is mostly
made up of mangrove forests, accentuated by waterfalls
and sandy beaches stretching for miles.
Solar energy
"Ambakivao Mazava tsy mipoly koa" can be translated as
"Lighting in Ambakivao, a step forward". It became the motto
of the local Village Association in gratitude for gaining access to
solar electricity. The village of Ambakivao has indeed benefited
from the initiative "A Barefoot College for Madagascar", a
project initiated by WWF. Thus, even isolated, this community
now enjoys lighting and electricity by solar power.
Le paysage est
majoritairement composé
de forêts de mangrove, orné
d’oiseaux aquatiques et de
plages de sables fins qui
s’étendent sur des kilomètres.
