''Location:'' 7km from Ambanja on the Andoharano road (to the source of the river).
''History:'' This village has not always been there where it is today. In 1940, it was devastated by a cyclone called Manoto (to collide). The current village is better than the old, according to a Malagasy proverb: ''Benavonynafindratsaratsaran'nyteo'' or ''Benavony moved to a better place than before.''
