Sambava is a town and district on the east coast of Madagascar and the capital of the SAVA region.
Almost half of the population in the Sambava region live from farming and raising livestock. The most common acricultures are vanilla, coconut and rice farming. Sambava, along with Antalaha and Andapa, is the centre of vanilla production and the source of most of the world's vanilla export.
Activities include a visit to a vanilla plantation and one of the many processing facilities to learn about traditional vanilla production, a guided tour of the Soavoanio coconut plantation, a visit to Antogopahitra (a small boat across the creek leaves behind Maison Ravelo at Antaimby).
Every Friday, there is an extended market with various clothing stands appearing on the road between the Madame Dolorosy statue and the beach. Every Sunday starting early afternoon close to Las Palmas Hotel there is a big beach party including dance competitions and occasionally Moraingy tournaments.
A domestic airport is located approximately 2km from the town centre with flights connecting Antananarivo, Toamasina (Tamatave), Maroantsetra and Diego Suarez. Scheduled flights are operated by Tsaradia and Madagasikara Airways.
