Mahajanga

Have you ever visited a new place and felt ‘wow’ about it? For many visitors, it happens at Mahajanga. Mahajanga may not be as popular as other cities in Madagascar, but don’t let that fool you. Mahajanga is one of the most beautiful coastal towns in Madagascar and a modest but growing tourist attraction that is worth visiting. Mahajanga has a great diversity of indigenous fauna, a sizable number of national parks, and several natural scientific institutions. It is mostly covered by lush rainforests.

The capital of the province, which is a great starting point for trips, draws many tourists with its promenade lined with coconuts, dry weather, and tropical beaches. Mahajanga tourism is significantly impacted by the region's ethnic variety, which creates a cultural mashup of indigenous, French, African, and Hindu traditions. Popular activities in Mahajanga include visiting eco-parks, lakes, and rivers, trekking through rainforests, and discovering old seaport towns dispersed along the shoreline. These activities are in addition to taking a dip in the ocean and diving to discover underwater treasures.
