Collection: Nosy Be, Madagascar

Nosy Be is a famous tourist destination off the northwest coast of Madagascar, near the famous cacao-growing region of Sambirano Valley. The name actually means "big island" in the Malagasy language, though its area is a mere 124 miles squared. Once a major location of plantation of sugarcane and production of its derived products (sugar and rum), the island's main activities are now tourism and the plantation of ylang-ylang (for the production of essential oils).
