[[File:Vohemar_to_Mazava_by_bike_015.jpg|600px]] [[Mazava]] is an unknown village four kilometres south of [[Ampanefena]] and halfway between Vohemar and Sambava. As of 2020, none of the four hotels in Ampanefena offers particularly good accommodation and the best option is to a stay at [[Maison Zaza]] in Mazava where vanilla farmers Mr and Mrs Zaza rent out five bungalows on their property, two of which have a panoramic view of the surrounding landscapes.
For those who prefer to split this journey in two parts, a stay over at [[Bobangira Park]] almost half-way is highly recommended.
