Anjohibe is cave system located about 80 kilometers west of Mahajanga. It is the second largest cave system in Africa and a historically sacred place for the Sakalava people.
Anjohibe can be translated to 'big caves' and was first discovered in the 17th century. The cave contains three levels with the highest level being easily accessible without specialist equipment. Remarkably, there are still many historically significant artifacts in the cave including fossils, colonial-era tools and skeletons despite being unfixed and vulnerable to theives.
