BILL GATES IN MADAGASCAR

Many famous people have already come to Madagascar, for private tours may be, or for other reason, but for sure, they must have made a little safari before leaving the island. That what happened in november.

The news come go fast as thunder in the famous town of Fort-dauphin in the afternoon of 21 november. The  private jet of the well-known business man Bill Gates landed at the airport. The billionaire was with members of his family in this jet. Nobody could believe it in the capital of Madagascar. It seems so incredible that the Microsoft giant, one of the richest and most influential man in the world would ever set foot in Madagascar.

Actually, he was really in Fort-dauphin, even though just for a while. The famous Bill gates planned to visit Berenty, a site located at 86 km west of Fort-dauphin.It is natural reserve that covers 250 ha in order to discover fauna and flora typical of southern Madagascar.
On the road leading to the reserve, a discovery trail to enjoy the scenery and lush vegetation of Anosy  aws offered to the Gates family.

After admiring the river Mandrare and lemurs in Berenty, Bill Gates and his entourage did not stay in the area. They then flew to join another tourist site, one of the most beautiful areas of the country: Anjajavy. Away from prying eyes, Bill Gates and his family have therefore used the idyllic landscape of the peninsula Anjajavy. Located 120km north of Mahajanga, this unique site in the world is only accessible by air. This site is the botanists’ favorite and these botanists are from the 4 corners of the world, just because there are 1,800 plant species protected in a nature reserve of 450ha in this site.

November is the most favorable months to see wildlife, including the Sifaka and birds on the peninsula, and this visit seemed to be planned by Bill Gates in order to discover Madagascar in its most beautiful state.

The Microsoft boss was conquered by the beauty of what he has seen, come for a private tour in Madagascar; you will not be disappointed at all! It is an island of wonders.
