Ambanja
The town of Ambanja is located about 100 km south of Ambilobe on the banks of theSambirano River, in a very fertile valley all planted with crops. It is one of the most humid parts of the west coast. The place has even its own cathedral with a surprising story (the metal structure dating from the 19th century belonged to the Strasburg train station…)
The road to the village is lined with teks or mantalias, large trees providing a generous shade. There are no attractions around. It is just a mere stop town on the way Nosy Be-Antsiranana. Ambanja is served by the local Ambanja Airport and maritime harbour, and it is on the Malagasy domestic flight path.
