Fascinating Madagascar – wild coasts

Madagascar - a paradise island in the Indian Ocean with a unique natural landscape and fun-loving inhabitants. 500 km off the coast of Africa lies the island of Madagascar, the fourth largest island on Earth, separated from the rest of the world for 90 million years. Madagascar was discovered only 2,000 years ago. People came there from Asia, the Middle East and Africa. The diversity of origins of the Malagasy tribes is now clearly visible in their lifestyle and traditions. Anakao in the southwest of the island is the home of the Vezo fishermen. It is a remote region and difficult to access from land. The Vezo peoples are called children of the sea. You rarely see motorboats here because they are too expensive. Many families still live mainly at sea. They sail from islet to islet along the huge coral reef located west of the coast of Madagascar.
