Could you do with a little beach therapy? Taste the salty sea breeze on your lips as you tune into the soothing sounds of the ocean at Ile Ste Marie Beach. It's the best kind of medicine around!
Looking for some additional nearby places? Mahavelona is only 20 kilometres to the south, so hop in the car and start exploring! Alternatively, Foulpointe, 20 kilometres south of Mahambo, is also worth the time.
An invigorating way to see the local landscape is to go on an outdoor adventure. Rock climbing is one of the most popular activities here. But if that doesn't quite take your fancy, there's always mountain climbing.
A day that brings sun and clear skies is a wonderful opportunity to head into the outdoors and spend a lazy afternoon shore fishing. If the nice weather persists, also throw in some beach combing.
Organising your own itinerary puts you 100 percent in control, but once in a while it's a welcome relief to let someone else handle the hard stuff. Guided nature walks and wildlife spotting tours offer a trouble-free way to uncover the region.
Indulge in one of your favourite hobbies or try your hand at something new on the waters around Madagascar. You'll discover heaps of watersports on offer, including swimming and snorkeling.
Pull on your walking shoes and make your way over to one of the surrounding area's various outdoor attractions. Its open-air markets are waiting to be explored.
There's a whole new world of rich flavours waiting to meet your taste buds in Madagascar. With so many delicious things to indulge in, all you need to bring with you is a hearty appetite — and perhaps a pair of stretchy trousers.
Wondering about some of the essential ingredients that are used here? You're likely to be served coffee and juice in quite a few of your meals.
There's always a local plate or two you absolutely need to try, and while you're in Mahambo, ravitoto (pork served with cassava leaves) is definitely one of them. Varanga (fried slivers of beef) is another traditional recipe that's bound to make an impression.
Because a life without dessert is no life at all, you should definitely introduce your palate to koba (peanut dessert pate). This sweet treat represents the region in just one mouthful.
What better way to get to know a place than by involving yourself in a day of national celebration? There'll be loads of festivities arranged for Independence Day on the 26th of June.
It's never easy to part with a region as stunning as Madagascar, but it will always welcome you back should you decide to return.
Ready to fly back home? Pack up your suitcase, set the alarm and plan a route to Sainte Marie Airport (SMS). It's some 60 kilometres to the northeast.
