Changes

'''Vohemar to Mazava is a part of one of the best bike routes in the country with indescribably scenery along the whole way is indescribably beautiful. With the exception of a few hills, passing little villages it's mostly flat and friendly farmers straight biking along the way. The tarred road is in excellent condition and but with the odd small potholes which is more a problem for cars than for bikes. Every few kilometres there's a small village with friendly locals greeting bypassers.''' [[File:Vohemar_to_Mazava_by_bike_006.jpg|600px]] The traffic is minimal especially, during the rainy season from December until June, with only a few passing crowded taxi-brousses and freight trucks throughout the day making it even relatively safe for even the odd reptile to cross the road now and then without being flattened.'''

[[File:Vohemar_to_Mazava_by_bike_006There are no tourists, although this will likely change in a few years as the infamous RN5 route between Ambilobe and Vohemar is being completed. Meanwhile, the area remains relatively isolated and without the odd tourist couples wastefully spacing out in chauffeur-driven 4x4 cars.jpg|600px]]

[[Mazava]] is a tiny an unknown and mostly unknown even unmapped village about four kilometres south of [[Ampanefena]] which is the largest town halfway between Vohemar and Sambava. However, as the none of the four hotels in Ampanefena are offer particularly goodvalue, it's better to the best option is a stay in Mazava at [[Maison Zaza]] which is the estate of a in Mazava where Mr and Mrs Zaza who are vanilla farmer which farmers, rents out four small five bungalows on their property, two of them with a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. The adjacent restaurant and bar serves zebu brochette and special meals if pre-ordered. The location is a regular meeting place for locals with karaoke on weekends and sporting events shown on a large TV screen.
