How about a trip to Madagascar East

Given this is easily Madagascar’s wettest region, it should come as no surprise that this place is covered in rainforests, large rivers, and some incredibly difficult to access places. There are some terrific beaches on the coast, some old ruins, whale watching and wildlife exploring to do, all within fairly close proximity to most of the small number of hotels here. Stray away from the trodden path (path being the operative word here) and you’ll be in need of a guide, a good vehicle (be it 4×4, boat or other), and some resilience.
You’ll find your reward though almost certainly if you’re prepared to forego your life’s luxuries and get a little bit more back to nature, because nature really is in control here, but it does it magnificently
