A Colourful Port City

Majunga is a port city of the Boeny region in the North West of Madagascar. At the heart of the city, stop in front of the huge baobab tree that is one of the largest on the island. With its large Comoran and Indian populations, and historical connections with Africa, it is one of the most colourful and ethnically diverse places in Madagascar. It is also the gateway to one of western Madagascar’s most diverse regions, from stunning caves and rock formations to sacred lakes and bird-rich wetlands.
