Good news: we have a list of exciting places in Madagascar that will surely thrill you. Have a look!

Ile Sainte Marie In Madagascar island

The first spot to experience nature undiluted, and as never before, is at Ile Sainte Marie. The island used to be a hive of pirates in the 17-18th century.

Till now, you will still find wreckages of pirate ships across the clear waters. But that’s not even the main attraction of Ile Sainte Marie.

The top attraction at the clear-water island is whale watching.

Annually, from July through September, whales from Antarctica migrate to Ile Sainte Marie to spawn. The most beautiful part of it all is the sheer numbers of these large sea mammals.

The whales can be up to 7000 that travel en masse. Some of the common species you find here are the humpback and Omura whales.

Other activities: Beaching

Tsingy de Bemaraha In Madagascar Island

Tsingy de Bemaraha can be hectic to access. That is thanks to potholed roads. As such, the journey could take a whole day.

However, when you consider the wonder that lies in the region, it’s worth the hassle. What wonders?

For a start, here is where you will find the largest natural reserve in Madagascar island. The site is home to 7 unique species of lemur.

More importantly, the park is also a world heritage site.

Besides the animals and landscapes, Tsingy has its top attraction in a  plateau of limestone. These wonders are in rows of knife-live peaks.

Beautifully, you can navigate the limestone peaks either through the Tsiribihina river, bridges, cables, or laggers. Even the navigation is another adventure in itself!

Isalo National Park

Are you a fan of hiking? Yes?

Then Madagascar island has a delight for you at Isalo. The park has several hike trails that will excite you.

And some of the options include canyons, cliffs, gorges, and even ravines. Come with your hiking gears.

Beyond hiking, Isalo is a park brimming with enviable biodiversity. Here, you will find at least 100species of birds.

Also, there are three waterfalls at the park. You can always relax there after all the hiking and bird watching.

The Rolls Of Baobab Along Morondava

Baobabs are large, tall trees that can store up to 1000 gallons of water. At the peak, they can grow up to 98ft tall and 36ft wide.

These trees are trademark and unique to Madagascar island. Indeed, you will find them across the country.

Even at that, the baobabs along Morondava stand out. They arrange in a somewhat aisle formation, and that makes for a spectacle.

Nosy Be

Before you leave Madagascar, you must experience the country’s top destination for beaching. In Nosy Be, you will experience beach fun on a volcanic island.

Don’t fret. The island has no records of volcanic eruptions. The only fear you should nurse is forgetting to leave.

Nosy Be can be quite seductive! Here, you get to watch whales, dive, snorkel, and there are Sunday beach parties.

However, know that Nosy Be is a bit expensive. Perhaps that’s because it has a western appeal.

Outside the listed places, Madagascar has other interesting sites. The country itself is a beautiful nation filled with exciting landscapes.

So, come and experience it all!
