Madagascar is known worldwide for being one of the most bio diverse places on the planet.   Unsurprisingly then, the capital of the Mendabe region of western Madagascar, Morondava is home to some of the best nature reserves in the world.

Visitors to this charming coastal town can expect a more economical and relaxing holiday than one spent in the capital city. The seaside area of Nosy Kely sports a distinctively laid-back vibe that penetrates the suburbs and outskirts of the city. The lively and typically West African city centre, known as Bazary Be, belongs to the merchants and street vendors. The narrow, winding streets are over-run with locals selling their wares and every week the city becomes frantic as a huge market takes over. 

While the Avenue of the Baobabs is a definite go-to place, you will be spoiled for choice when it comes to nature reserves to visit. It’s advisable to invest in a Morondava Tourist guide to ensure you get to see all the wildlife Morondava has to offer while staying safe.
