Madagascar is often called “the red island”, yet there are still many places where you can find green landscapes, especially the eastern part of the island. For christmas holidays, or just a private tour in Madagascar at any other time, it is great to discover new things you may have never seen. One of these discoveries is the “Ravinala”, the palm that is also called “the traveller’s tree”. “Ravinala” is its malagasy name meaning “leaves in the forest”. Despite its aspect, this is not a palm tree, but rather closer to banana tree.
Actually, the name given to this plant by the Western is that the leaf sheaths of the plant can retain water, which in an emergency could come to the rescue of a traveler dying of thirst. Despite of that, the water from the Ravinala is not advised to drink, without prior purification. The Ravinala will not be the only thing to discover in this east part of Madagascar. It reserves many surprises and wonders regarding landscape. Your holiday photos will be more than nice, just good memories!
Even if the Ravinala can be found in some part of the world like in Mayotte, Guyana, or Martinique, come to Madagascar to see the malagasy “traveller’s tree” and also get the pleasure to explore this country, especially its east part. Your tour in Madagascar will be a great and unforgettable adventure.
