Situated in the north-western part of Madagascar, at about 40 miles from the island of Nosy Be, Tsarabanjina is one of the islets of the Mitsio Archipelago. Fringed by white sandy beaches with extraordinary birds, lush vegetation and encircled around by coral reefs, the region is bathed in sunshine all year round.
Tsarabanjina is a sacred islet. .“Tsarabanjina” is the kind of private island to be discovered in complete tranquillity, enhanced by the soft pace of the sea and its natural surroundings. An amazingly calm sea filled with a variety of fish and crayfish. This is a place renowned for its diving and ideal for navigation.
You can stroll around, climb up the hills and lose your way in its luxuriant vegetation. At the end of a path, you will for sure discover many birds, including the famous flycatcher of Madagascar (the emblem of Tsarabanjina) as well as a couple of fish eagles.
A biologist has even come across the tiniest chameleon in the world; it barely exceeds one centimeter in length when fully grown.
Les Quatre Frères (The Four Brothers islets), facing Tsarabanjina, on the north-west side, are mythical rocks where a large number of birds (northern gannets, white-tailed tropic birds, frigate birds) come to build their nests. These islets, except one, are well-known for scuba diving.
Legend has it that the gods sent five brothers to that spot. One got mad with three of his brothers and he decided to leave them, the fourth brother, who loved him very much died broken-hearted. For this reason, birds don’t nest there and the seabed seems desolate.
