Situated in the north-western part of Madagascar, at about
40 miles from the port of Nosy Be, Tsarabanjina is one of
the paradisiacal islets of the Mitsio Archipelago: the
Mountain islet, fringed by white sandy beaches with its
extraordinary birds, its lush vegetation and ringed around
by coral reefs. The region is bathed by sunshine all year
round (except February is cyclone season).
Tsarabanjina is a
sacred islet. On the small peninsula of the eastern beach is
found the tomb of the Sakalava kings of the Mitsio islands.
Up to this day the people of the Mitsio islands venerate
this place; they come here bringing their offerings (money,
honey, rum…). Should you want to go there for a visit,
respect the place by going barefoot, wearing a lamba (shawl)
without forgetting to leave your gift in order not to
displease the gods.
