'''Vohemar to Mazava is a part of a best bike routes with indescribably beautiful scenery along the whole way. With the exception of a few hills, it's mostly flat and straight biking on tarred road in excellent condition with the odd potholes which are more a nuisance for cars than bikes. Every few kilometres there's a small village with friendly locals greeting bypassers.'''

As of 2020 there are no tourists in this area, although this will likely change in coming years once the infamous and often impassable RN5 between [[Ambilobe]] and [[Vohemar]] has been completed. Meanwhile, the area and its main road remain relatively isolated from the rest of the country without wastefully half-empty chauffeur-driven 4x4 cars transporting tourists.

The traffic is minimal especially especially during the rainy season from December until June and only a few crowded taxi-brousses and freight trucks pass throughout the day, making it relatively safe for the odd reptiles to cross the road without getting flattened.

[[Mazava]] is an unknown and so-far unmapped village four kilometres south of [[Ampanefena]] and halfway between Vohemar and Sambava. However, as none of the four hotels in Ampanefena offer particularly good value accommodation the best option is to stay at [[Maison Zaza]] in Mazava where vanilla farmers Mr and Mrs Zaza offer five bungalows on their property, two of which have a panoramic view of the surrounding landscapes (still in construction in February 2020).
