My volunteer island outreach trip to the Island of Madagascar showed me how beautiful Africa really is. The vast blue ocean, Gorgeous white sand beaches,colorful Birds and Fishes with many other wildlife that are endemic to the island all create a perfect paradise for wildlife lovers. The stunning landscapes and overall beauty of Madagascar and its smaller islands started my love for scenic photography and gave rise to the passion for sharing stunning travel destinations across Africa including; hotel accommodations, cuisine and fun spots. Hope you enjoy some of the photos i took. ?

Nosy Iranja which is made of two smaller islands (Nosy Iranja be and Nosy Iranja Kely) connected by a thin long stretch of sand. You can easily walk from one island to the other at low tide. This is probably one of the most spectacular sites in Madagascar.
