Eastern Madagascar was once a continuous, lush green corridor of lowland humid forest that extended along the eastern escarpment to an elevation of 800 meters.

Under this vast forested canopy, countless species had found an ideal habitat. Unfortunately, the fate of this natural balance has been completely reversed, and these forests are now among the most threatened habitats in the world.
But there are also the last huge rainforests of Madagascar: Masoala-the most immense natural experience of all in Madagascar but also the island of Sainte Marie, Ranomafana, Andasibe, the Pangalan Channel along the Indian Ocean, the Vanilla Coast, the splendor of the slopes in the southern part of the east coast.

After so much wildlife, many visitors choose to seek out the laid-back marine ecosystem of Sainte Marie (also called Nosy Boraha) and relax under the palm trees of the incredible beaches of this little paradise.

During the southern winter, Sainte Marie is also a perfect place to watch the humpback whales.
