5 day Nosy Be Beach Stay. Madagascar. Vacation on the 'Perfumed Island'

Day 1: Nosy Be

Arrival in Nosy Be, transfer to Gerhard and Francine Hotel. Madagascar is lucky with an almost perfect climate, and fertile and prosperous soil. Nosy Be is the ideal place for sugar and vanilla plantations which are the main source for exportation.

The main characteristic of Nosy Be is the heady scent of ylang-ylang blossoms giving it the tourist-brochure name of ' Perfumed isle '. Finally because of its nice beach and the tiny isles surrounding, Nosy be is the ideal place for sunbathing and relaxing.

Day 2: Nosy Be / Réserve Lokobe

Day excursion to 'Lokobe Special reserve'. Transfer to the harbour where you take a small boat to reach the reserve. Situated on the eastern side of the island of Nosy Be, the reserve of Lokobe is the remnants of the rainy tropical forest of the island. There are 42 species of birds, black lemurs ' maccacco maccacco' which are only found in this area.

Thirty-five species of reptiles have been seen, 7 of which are chameleons. It is possible to visit the buffer zone on the north-east side of the peninsula where permits are not required. One of the main interest of Lokobe is the village where we can experience the life of local people. At the end of the afternoon, back to the hotel. Stop in town to see the local market.

Day 3: Nosy Be / Excursion Nosy Komba - Nosy Tanikely

Excursions to Nosy Komba and Nosy Tanikely which are isolated and tranquil isle accessible by boat. First we stop over to Nosy Komba which means island of lemurq. It is the lemurs that brings in the visitors. One of the former glories of this island is its coral but it has sadly almost completely disappeared so snorkelling is no longer rewarding.

Then we continue our excursion to Nosy Tanikely. It is a tiny island with a light house, very famous for its rich submarine park. It is also a rich place for watersports like diving , fishing, snorkelling where we can see an amazing variety of marine life - coral, starfish, anemones, every colour and shape of fish, turtles, lobsters. Back to Nosy Be at the end of the afternoon, transfer to Hotel Gerard and Francine.
