Arriving at Nosy Be airport on your Madagascar tour, you will be met and transferred by taxi to Chanty beach and then by speedboat to Sakatia Towers, which is situated on a small private beach.

Days 3-4: Ambatiloka to Nosy Komba, Madagascar

Then proceed to Nosy Komba where you will have accommodation at Hotel Jardin Vanille or Lilians Bungalows. Nosy Komba is a small island surrounded by clear water that is perfect for diving.

This tiny island is secluded and remote – perfect for relaxation and fun in the sun while on you Madagascar tour. The islands big attraction is a large population of black lemur which roam the trees, and with any luck marine turtles may be spotted.
