Private Boat Charter Holidays in Madagascar’s northern islands
Madagascar is a gigantic East African island. “The Great Island” is a sanctuary of beauty, a land mass that has progressively drifted off the coast of Mozambique.
The northern islands of Madagascar are one of the most popular sailing holiday destinations in Africa’s East Coast Islands.
Northern Madagascar has remained unspoiled and is home to tiny, uninhabited islands. Its fauna and flora, beautiful landscapes, and smiling inhabitants make it an exceptional yacht charter holiday destination in the middle of the Indian Ocean. It is a real treasure of lush, exotic tropical nature with mysterious mangroves, including inaccessible jungles and enchanting beaches.
Set out on a 10-day sailing trip to the beautiful Radama and Mitsio Archipelagos. You can either snorkel in the Nosy Tanikely marine reserve or sail to the Bay of Russians, a mysterious island.
Head for the splendid Nosy Iranja, the two uninhabited islands linked by a long stretch of white sand that emerges at low tide. Swim in its clear, turquoise waters.
Set sail for Baramahamay and anchor between a primary forest and mangroves. Meet the Sakalava, the Malagasy people who live on the north west coast of Madagascar, and get to know the customs of a traditional village.
Visit a coffee and pepper plantation, stopping over at Nosy Antsoha, a small island where you can see various species of lemurs. Walk through a magnificent orchid forest, then spend the night in Sakatia. Sail north to Nosy Fanihy, a tiny, uninhabited island with a garden of corals, many species of fish, and coloured shells.
Cruise to Grande Mitsio and moor at Maribe for the night. Set off for Nosy Ankarea, a small island in the shape of a rock with lush vegetation and white sand beaches. Go on an excursion to the top of the island and watch the spectacular view of the Mitsio archipelago, lagoons, and coral reefs. Nosy Lava lies north of the Mitsio Archipelago in Madagascar. Sail on to Tsarabanjina Island, a little piece of paradise near Nosy Be. Nosy Faly is a preserved island off the northwest coast of Madagascar. It is a holy place of the Malagasy peoples. Komba is a jewel of nature. Stroll in Lokobe National Park Reserve.
Nosy Be, “the island of fragrances,” lies six miles off the northern coast of Madagascar. It is an idyllic starting point for a private yacht charter to the Mitsio and Radama archipelagos. Nosy Kalakajoro is a small island in the Mozambique Channel.
Here, an exciting hike on land or a river trip brings the same sensation of wonder felt by the early navigators.
The exceptionally mild climate has an average temperature ranging between 26 and 32 degrees. The best time of year to cruise around the Northern Madagascar Islands is between April and December.
