    Interesting history and great guide
    Don't miss this place! It's near Tana (although "near" is relative since traffic is so bad) and a really important cultural/historic site. Our fantastic guide was really knowledgable about the history of the palace, the monarchy, Malagasy customs, and more. He was a highlight. It's a small site with some cool artifacts and beautiful views.

    You will know and understand Madagascar more after this visit. Highly recommend it.
    The traffic was so bad that for a while we thought of giving it up. But, I'm glad we didn't. This historical site is preserved as well as it can be. The guide is kind, knowledgeable and straight forward. We learned so much more about the history of Madagascar and its glory, its people and its custom. I think more people should come to visit this place.
