Komba means "lemur" and it is the lemurs that bring in the visitors.

During the 1980s the villagers made nothing out of these visits apart from the sale of clay animals which they glazed with the acid to spent batteries.

Then they instigated a modest fee for seeing the animals and increased the variety of handicrafts.

Now that Nosy Komba is on cruise-ship itineraries they have taken on the works: "tribal dancing", face-decoration, escorted walks .... anything that will earn a dollar or twoo.

With all the demands on your purse, it may take a bit of mental effort to see the underlying charm of Ampangorinana, but it is nevertheless a typical Malagasy community living largely on fishing and tavy farming, but it is the black lemurs that provide the financial support and help prevent further degradation of their environment.
