Sustainable tourism

admin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 08:31:42 +0000

Schools in the valley are isolated from main roads, which makes communication and logistics difficult. Due to the remoteness of the place, all difficulties are increased. Reforms and material support from the Education Department reach this place with difficulty. And it’s obvious that education has improved in the valley over the past years, and that all children in the valley go to school. The efforts of the Education Department, NGOs and tourism operators are all contributing to this improved situation.

For example, A French NGO (St Jérôme partage et développement) has made major contributions to improving schooling and community health in the valley. For its part, Tsara Camp has invested time, money, equipment and other resources into education since the camp was established in 2002. Donations to date have included blackboards, tables and benches, stationery and basic teaching materials.

Access

admin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 08:25:02 +0000

The camp can be reached by a 2-hour drive off the central road which runs between the capital Antananarivo and Tulear in the south west. The Route Nationale 7 (RN 7) is a tarred road connecting Antananarivo with Tulear (Toliary) over a distance of 950km. Between Ambalabavo and Ihosy you find the small road to the camp. Just watch out for the sign near the Tanambao or Antanambao village. It is about 25km from the RN 7 to the camp along the small road. After you passed the Vohitsoaka village the track is difficult and requires a 4-wheel drive vehicle. The short distance of 10km between the village of Vohitsoaka and Tsara Camp takes about one hour. However, the view of the Andringitra Mountains and Tsaranoro Mountain will award you for the bone-shaking ride. In case you don’t have a 4WD, Tsara Camp can pick you up in the nearby village Vohitsoaka. Our truck is stationed at the camp and can transport up to 20 passengers with luggage.
