The West coast of Madagascar is sublime: white and beige-sailed dugouts sparkle on a clear ocean surface, tiny hamlets with welcoming villagers emerge occasionally on the finest beaches lined with oval sand dunes. The rivers form fertile valleys, sometimes almost flat, sometimes sharp and abrupt, but always beautiful. The northern part is mainly a fertile savanna while travelling southwards you will find a drier rather bushy territory with astonishing landscapes. Spectacular limestone promontories called tsingy pile up towards the North, whilst bizarre looking baobabs with immense trunks that would need several people arms to stretch them build fairy-tale forests towards the South.
