Sea and Nature

Up one level Folder image
Madagascar lies in the Indian Ocean, south of the Comoros Islands. Nosy Be is situated at the far North East tip of Madagascar, half way between the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn which crosses the south of Madagascar at Toulear. Ankazoberavina lies 18 miles west of Nosy Be, facing the Mozambique Channel, and has a tropical climate. The sea is populated by species native to the Indian Ocean, and the flora and fauna of the island itself and the nearby coast is tropical, but feature species that are unique to Madagascar, such as lemurs (pro-monkeys) and pachipodium (tree plants).

The islands

Ankazoberavina, Antsoha and the Needles of Ankivonjy form a small archipelago of extraordinary beauty. Ankazoberavina is the largest of the two islands:14 hectares of uninhabited paradise located in the Bay of Nosy Be. Antsoha is a desert island of 2 hectares located 1 mile from Ankazoberavina, with an unspoilt forest and a stunning white coral beach. The zone between these 3 islands and up to 500 metres from their coastlines have been declared protected zone by the Malgash authorities, who have awarded the guardianship of this important environment to the organization Nature Sauvage.
