TRAVEL GUIDE
THE HIGHLANDS [Madagascar]
The journey south from Antananarivo, through the highlands of Madagascar provides an excellent combination of cultural interaction, spectacular scenery and fascinating fauna and flora.
The area is also the wine growing region of Madagascar, where the breweries are situated and it is also the original home of the beautiful Antaimoro paper (papyrus-type paper impregnated with dried flowers). Terraced rice paddies, tea plantations and cattle markets complete the picture. Further south, the Ranomafana National Park, created in 1991 as a mid-altitude rainforest, offers simple accommodation amongst some beautiful scenery.
