Overview

All guests are picked up at a hotel of their choice.

Know More about this tour

Mahajanga, founded by the Arabs in 1700s, traded with weapons, slaves, precious gems, spices, fabrics. Nowadays, it trades with mostly Africa, Middle-east, Asia and Europe. Apart from Malagasy peoples (Sakalava, Tsimihety, Merina), the city counts important Arab, Comorian, Chinese, Indian-Pakistanese natives' communities, that makes it the most cosmopolitan region in Madagascar.

We start in the old city, where historic motifs are extraordinarily plentiful: trading posts, sculpted wooden doors, all remnants of the Arabic origins of the city, old colonial houses with ochre facades show some relics of a gone glory built on the backs of miserable slaves, narrow streets with small gardens planted with bugambilia plants At the seaside, check out the view on the ships cemetery, with its old wrecks and storied past, this is one of the most historically fascinating.

The next part of our tour, into the city's surroundings, is no less attractive and engaging: Mahajangas baobabs, scattered islands, forest reserves, lakes and caves have turned it into a major escape away The crowning feature however is definitely the bizarre red rock formations, the "cirque rouge," outside the city. In the evening, return to your chosen hotel.
