Mahajanga

Mahajanga is the second most important seaport in Madagascar after Toamasina.

The African baobab tree near the coast is the largest specimen in Madagascar, with a circumference of 21 metres.

In the 1780s, a community of roughly 200 Muslim traders from the Indian subcontinent had formed at Mahajanga.

The stadium Jacques Rabemananjara, with its 8,000 places, is the 5th largest in Madagascar.

Mahajanga has a tropical savanna climate with a humid rainy season from November to mid-April.
