Amazing experience in Anja Reserve in Madagascar!
This is a must visit place if you have booked a ticket to Madagascar. Tickets only cost $3 and the ticket price also includes a guide. The walk lasts for approximately 2-3 hours. I booked my ticket online and visited the reserve on two occasions. Next time I visit Madagascar, I am sure to purchase a ticket again. The experience while walking in the forest, was extraordinary. A must visit attraction when visiting Madagascar.
The of Alley of Baobabs in Madagascar. Wow!
A must not miss attraction when you have booked a ticket to visit Madagascar. We had purchased a tour ticket for sightseeing and this was on top of our list. The tall baobab trees looked simply stunning. The attraction is located 20km away from town and you must purchase a ticket. It is best to book a ticket to see the baobab trees at sunrise and sunset. We had the time of our lives in Madagascar and I will be booking an air ticket to visit Madagascar again.
Fantastic walk in Isalo National Park in Madagascar. The tickets were so cheap.
