Mid-August is the peak of the tourist influx in Mahajanga as every year. It is also the high tourist season.
Last straight line for the holiday period in Mahajanga. The second big wave of summer visitors returned yesterday. A large part have already left Friday evening and Saturday morning. They are mostly part of the Reformed Church FJKM and attended the big meeting or “Fihaonambe”.
The LWF Lutheran Church also brought together thousands of deacons for three days. The large families and the usual motorcycle enthusiasts who took part in the fifth round of the Madagascar endurance championship, at Soma Beach in the tourist village, holidaymakers and spectators who did not want to miss the Tempo Gaigy group’s cabaret, so many he other visitors spent at least five days in the City of Flowers last week.
We are still waiting for the arrival of participants in the big meeting of associations of musicians and keyboardists, choirmasters and sound technicians within the Reformed Church in Mahajanga.

Previously, musical sessions will be organized in several churches in Mahajanga, including the one in front of the Mahabibo bazaar, on Thursday.
First destination
“The city of Mahajanga will still be and remains the first national destination for everyone. We have dedicated a special budget this year. We came by bush taxi. But the beach is mandatory every day. Our daughter loves the sea and we took the bus to go to Amborovy, after lunch in a tavern in Amboavoalanana,” says the father of a 4-year-old girl.
No one expected this crowd given the state of the RN4 and the road traffic there. It is true that the majority of vehicles circulating in the city are off-road type. Others came by taxi-brousse and, exceptionally, light vehicles arrived in Mahajanga.
No one wants to miss the beaches and seaside resorts of the Grand Pavois, the small beach at Maroala and Amborovy up to Antsanitia. The Promenade des Anglaises in the Tourist Village is even very busy. We no longer speak of the famous seaside, and the great baobab tree in Mahajanga-be which attracts a large crowd every evening.
