Changes

The traffic is minimal during the rainy season from December to June and only a few crowded taxi-brousses and freight -trucks pass throughout the day, making it relatively safe for the odd reptile to cross the road.

[[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 value accommodation and so the best option is 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.
