Réserve de Nosy Mangabe

The island of Nosy Mangabe is a must-visit for anyone with a smidgen of romance in their blood. This is a thickly forested and mountainous tropical island, with huge soaring canarium trees arising from flying buttress roots, a rusty shipwreck piercing one side, waterfalls, a spyglass hill, a yellow sickle beach, elusive animals, foreign inscriptions, and the omnipresent sound of the jungle. If that doesn’t bring out the Robinson Crusoe in you, check your pulse. It rains a lot, though, so be prepared.
