  • For short stays, a visit to Ambanja will be incomplete without a brief visit to Sambirano. The sandbanks on the left side of the river coming from the central marketplace (Bazary Be) and about one kilometre upstream can, depending on the water level, offer an ideal swimming spot in this beautiful river.
