At last, we\u2019re off in a north-easterly direction! In Tana, we board a small plane that takes us to one of Madagascar\u2019s smallest airports, in Maroantsetra.

From there, we set off by boat into the Masoala rainforest, Madagascar\u2019s largest contiguous forest area, covering over 2,100 km\u00b2. We\u2019re staying in a simple hotel right on the beach, with the rainforest behind us.
