5 I came across this website and wanted to comment about how unique and interesting Madagascar is. I was only there for two weeks and plan on returning for our next vacation to finish seeing the south side. I visited the east side called Tamatave – there were a lot of tourists attractions and things to do. My favorite was going to the Park Ivoloina where there are a lot of rare species only seen in Madagascar like Lemurs and Ayay. We stayed in a very beautiful resort about 50 miles from Tamatave. It was very affordable and great hospitality. We also visited a few small islands on the east side called Saint Marie. It was the most beautiful resort I have ever seen. I learned a lot about the culture and i encourage my friends and families to plan a vacation to Madagascar.
