[[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.
The stretch after Mazava starts off with a couple of uphills and rewarding downhills with especially beautiful mountains until Antsirabe-Nord.

Closer to Sambava, crossing Bemarivo, a river where much vanilla, coffee, pepper, cloves is cultivated.

Shortly before reaching the centre of Sambava, [[Mimi Hotel|Mimi Resto]] makes a good overnight stop to plan the next days, whether biking further to [[Antalaha]] or [[Marojejy National Park]]. The tourist office for the SAVA region is located in the same building.
