Birthday Week at Anjiamarango Beach Resort - Nosy Be

After 6 luxurious and relaxing nights at Anjiamarango Beach Resort, it’s finally time to fly off from Nosy Be and head back to Antananarivo. Tomorrow will be my last day in Madagascar, and I’ll hopefully be going to a national park and seeing some more lemurs, and then the day after I’ll be flying back to Johannesburg. I’ll see have a bit over a month until university starts again to continue travelling around southern Africa – next stop: Swaziland.

An Unpleasant Trip to Nosy Komba and Snorkelling at Nosy Tanikely

After spending the past 3 days doing literally nothing except swimming in the pool, reading, eating and sleeping, it was time to get out and actually do something in Nosy Be. Staying at this resort is super nice, but isn’t making me particularly adventurous when it is just so easy and comfortable to stay where you are (plus when the days are so hot and the pool is so cool).

The Pleasant (And Not Spewy) Trip from Morondava To Antananarivo

I had been dreading the trip back to Antananrivo after the horrific trip I had on my way to Morondava and was weighing up my options. There was the taxi-brousse for about 45,000 ariary (about $19aud), flying with Air Madagascar for around 600-700,000 ariary, or hiring a private car and driver for 700,000 ariary ($285aud). Should I risk spewing to save over $250?? I couldn't really justify spending that much on the plane ticket when I was planning another (pricy) internal flight in Madagascar, so it seemed like all I could do was book a taxi-brousse ticket and hope.
