A solution: nipping over suburbs for the beach
Norali Says: If beach activities are what you expect most of your stay in Mahajanga: you'll have to nip over Village Touristique or to Amborovy ... because beach in Mahajanga center is not accessable and swimming is not allowed. A thick stone row prevents people from accessing the beach....
Chez Caron: Don't miss Beignets de crevettes !
Norali Says: Chez Caron is located in Village Touristique, where, in the contrary to the beach around the baobab tree & along Corniches, one can have access to sea. I didn't swim for being told it was better in Amborovy, a destination of ours after the noon lunch. Just played with the...
Norali Says: Just a warning: bring your patience with you.While having our diner (breakfast, noon lunch..), we got really surprised by the attitude of waiters there.In many restaurants, tea parlours, it is so common that waiters would not hurry to take your order. Even worse, I...
Norali Says: While driving to the warmest area of Madagascar, have your car reviewed... For tourists, make sure your driver checked everything before setting sail.On my trip to Mahajanga, we took a 4WD with AC. Everything went OK except when at a time, we had to stop at a place due to...

Sunset watching, nightlife at seafront
Norali Says: Sunset watching and people watching are amongst nightlife activities in coastal area.Mahajanga urban seafront is really agreable for its ambience. Walking along the seafront on Bd Poincarré is something to do if you want to skip the nightclubs and still have a glimpse on...

Norali Says: This tree always amazes me with its multiple trunks.Don't kow its name. I thought it was a banian bt I am not sure. The city seems to be particular from hosting those particular trees: the multi-centennial "Le baobab" tree, banian trees... All enormous!A name given to...
Norali Says: Be it in the gardens of Royal Palace of Antananarivo, in the streets of Toamasina city or in Toliara... you will be surprised by this enchanting smell of frangipani... Hmmm, those white and yellow-gold-hearted flowers. They may be pinkish or a bit ochre as well, like here on...
Amborovy beach for beach activity
