Extreme vacation in Madagascar

Those who are used to comfort and passive rest, Madagascar just do not like it. This is a unique island, which can not be compared with anything. You begin to understand this at the moment when the plane descends. Before the tourists from the air a picture opens, worthy of the works of the Impressionist painters: a riot of colors, a game of malicious and red color. The claret color of the soil is due to their lateritic composition. The rich flora and species of animals characteristic of these places is the main reason why tourists choose a holiday in Madagascar. On the island there are almost no fashionable hotels and pathos night clubs. In some cities people still live in subsistence economy. Exotic tourists come here from all over the world.

You can start your vacation in Madagascar by visiting one of its largest cities, Antananarivo. The locals call him Tana. The city lies between two hills, and its small houses rise up their slopes, forming thus a complex labyrinth of arches, buildings and lanes. The most interesting in Tana is the ensemble of the palaces of Rouva Ambuchimanga, which consists of the "Double Palace" of Mansakamiadan, Tranavalun, Mahicilafanzak, Manampisoa and the tomb of Madagascar kings. Also very beautiful are the Presidential Palace, the Palace of the Prime Minister, the National Library, the Izourri Municipal Theater and many other buildings. This city has a very large number of museums, among which are the Botanical Garden, the Besareti Garden , the Museum of Archeology and Paleontology, etc. One can not imagine a vacation in Madagascar without visiting a crocodile farm. It should be noted that reptiles on the island are in abundance, however, like other exotic animals. Among other things, lemurs are common.

The second largest city is Tuamasina. Here you can spend an excellent holiday in Madagascar, strolling through numerous parks, museums. Tuamasina is a port of world importance, where a lot of ships cross every day from all corners of the earth. One of the most interesting places in this city is its central market "bazaar-ba" and the market of less Koli. Here you can find almost everything on the shelves of a huge number of products made by local artisans. Even if the tourist does not enjoy shopping, then this place will be interesting to him, because it is able to tell more about any museum about the life of the island. Not far from Tuamasin is the zoo of Ivaluin, where a large number of species of exotic animals are represented on a large territory. On the whole territory of the island there are 134 reserves and 3 national parks.

In the north of the country you can see a lot of famous red soil in the world. This is a feature of this area, typical for African countries. In Madagascar come not for urban entertainment and comfort. They are not here. But there is a surprisingly beautiful nature, places almost untouched by man, huge sandy beaches. Hot tours to Madagascar are rare, because this direction is not very popular among tourists. This is explained by the impossibility of resting with children, the high cost of flights, the large number of vaccinations from the bites of tropical insects. This absolutely does not mean that burning tours to Madagascar are meaningless and not interesting. The country will open from all its sides only to those people who will be interested in its richest nature and history. In no place in the world can one find such a zoological diversity as here. Going here, many tour operators recommend purchasing extended medical insurance, because in an exotic country the risk of getting a rare disease is very high. Having settled all the formalities, you can safely go to meet the wild world of Madagascar.
