Mahajanga, Belobaka Caves



Although classed as a tourist site since the 1940s, these six caves are little known.

The first is a sacred place where people come to make wishes, but the other five are more spectacular for stalactites and stalagmites.



It is said a fence and gate were once erected to manage the tourism, but the resident spirits objected to this arrangement and sent lightning with struck and destroyed the barrier.

Local tour operators can arrange a visit, or you can get here in 20 minutes or so by car: take RN4 12 km out of town then turn left for 2 km.

There is also an ostrich farm nearby.
