Madagascar. Treasures of the islands of lemurs

The capital, Antananarivo, High city, Rova palace

We arrive in the capital, the city of Antananarivo, and begin our group trip to Madagascar. We check into a hotel and go for dinner to begin our acquaintance with Malagasy cuisine. We advise you to try the traditional romazawa dish - this is soft boiled beef, which is served with vegetable stew, and ravitoto - a side dish for pork meat from cassava leaves, spinach and coconut milk. Food in Madagascar is as diverse as the local nature and inhabitants. Seafood is consumed on the coasts, and in the center of the island they eat the meat of a local humpback bull, zebu. We will try everything!

The next morning we take off to explore the city, walking through the High city - an area located on the hill of Analamanga. Here we will see the colonial architecture and churches that the French colonialists built. At the top of the hill we will visit the Rova palace, the buildings of which have been built for several generations of Madagascar rulers since the 17th century. It offers a wonderful view of the Madagascar capital and the villages with their small one-story houses, lakes, and rice fields extending beyond the horizon.
