DESTINATIONS<br />

A20 minute canoe ride<br />

from Nosy Be, finds<br />

you in a place of<br />

paradise: the island<br />

of Lemurs or "Nosy<br />

Komba". From a distance, you will<br />

only see a volcano that breaks out<br />

of the water, named Antaninaomby<br />

or land of zebu and reaches 622<br />

metres above sea level.<br />

Beyond this appearance, this<br />

small volcanic island is a true gem<br />

of nature with idyllic beaches,<br />

emerald-colored waters and rich<br />

biodiversity. The tropical forest that<br />

developed on this island shelters<br />

besides lemurs, a multitude of<br />

tropical and endemic animal<br />

species as well as a variety of<br />

medicinal plants.<br />

Once you have landed in the<br />

village of Ampangorina, the<br />

craft huts with its embroidered<br />

tablecloths will captivate you. The<br />

place bears its name well, "the<br />

alley of the tablecloths". You can<br />

buy various handicraft products<br />

as souvenirs of travel. The lemurs<br />

Macakis Macaco, with their little<br />

wild character, constitute another<br />

attractiveness to Ampangorina.<br />

Each village has its own<br />

specificity. Anjiabe is a fishing<br />

village, the waters bordering the<br />

island being very full of sea-life.<br />

The village of Ankiriky is known for<br />

its various fruit seasons (pineapple,<br />

mango, papayas, soursop ...) and<br />

vanilla, pepper, coffee or Ylang<br />

Ylang plantations. At this time of<br />

the year, the blossoming of coffee<br />

and vanilla brings an unheard-of<br />

decor to the surrounding nature.<br />

The sympathy of the villagers will<br />

also make your holiday in Nosy<br />

Komba, an unprecedented stay!<br />

Cette petite île volcanique<br />
