    We booked a week at the Lokobe Forest camp through Madagascar Island Safaris. What a wonderful experience. Our host, Mohamed and his staff, carried us on their hands and made our stay very pleasant. The scenery is beautiful and we enjoyed every minute of our visit. The seafood was exquisite and was always more than enough. Great snorkelling and swimming with turtles. the Lemur interaction was amazing. We cannot wait to go back there.

    My adult daughter and I took 3 excellent day-tours with Fossa Travel. Elio was our gouide for all of them since he speaks English. Sakatia is not far from the west coast of Nosy Be where our hotel Ravinstara is. For this tour, the boat came to the beach of our htel - how very convenient. When we arrived at Sakatia, we snorkeled off the boat, first in an area called the turtle pool. It is a place that turtles are often seen and we were also lucky. We followed one for a little while and then turned back a found two others that we watched eating. Later the boat took us to another area for snorkeling where we saw pretty fish, giant clams, anemones and a lot of dead coral. I think it is like this worldwide because of global warming. It is very sad. But we enjoyed what was alive and enjoyed the snorkeling more than on Tanikely.
    Lunch was excellent. Freshly grilled fish, BBQ shrimp and zebu, coconut rice and fresh salad and fresh fruit for dessert.
    We took a walk to the local village with Elio and bought a hat from one of the many vendors along the beach.
    It was a delightful day.

    It is an excellent place to visit and explore various types of Lemurs, Tortoises, Boa Snakes, Chameleons & a brewery. Well maintained & a must visit place if you are in Nosy Be.

    Mont Passot is a bit far from most activities in Nosy Be but the view is fantastic. The hike is only 5 minutes easy up and you have 3 decks where you can see almost the entire island, which is amazing. Overall it will take 30 minutes.

    Romaric was an awesome tour guide! He made sure we were well fed and were hydrated during all of our excursions. He was prompt with all of our pick-ups and went above and beyond to make us comfortable.

    We had high hopes for this beach. As many people had told us it was the best beach in Nosy Be. Unfortunately we did not agree. The main reason for this is the lack of marine life and coral. Also some of the beach is private and you cannot walk. If you are here for a paddle in the water & talk with the locals and some rather pricey but good quality food then this is your place. But the only fish you will see will be on your plate.

    The reviews here made me laugh. Madagascar is one of the poorest countries in the world and most of it’s people live in abject poverty, of course they hustle a bit when they see people that are packing £1000 phones. I was approached by a lovely young lad called Stephen who guided me to the cascade. Not needed but I travel alone and he took photos for me, yes, I still have my phone. I ended up giving him 2000 Ariary (less than half a euro)!!. He was delighted. We chatted a lot despite my poor French and learned a little about each other.
    Rant over, the cascade was very cool. I walked from the main road, took about 50 mins, not arduous. Just beware there is a right turn that’s not signposted so just keep asking the locals so you don’t miss it. There is a 10,000 entry fee. The pool wasn’t crystal clear but very nice and I had a good swim. I had the place to myself. Waterfall pools are rarely clear (I’m a bit of a W/F nut), I can’t believe I’m having to say this, THE FALLING WATER DISTURBS THE SEDIMENT AND IT GETS A LITTLE CLOUDY!!
    I went after a long period of heavy rain which may have pimped it up a bit and it may be different after a period of no rain, I don’t know.
    In conclusion, it’s no Victoria falls but if you want Victoria falls, go to Victoria falls!!
    Lovely little morning out and some great picture opportunities

    A bustling town, with friendly people. The markets are vibrant and interesting.
    Foodstuffs expensive unless you shop around.
