The of Alley of Baobabs in Madagascar. Wow!

The tall baobab trees looked simply stunning. The attraction is located 20km away from town and you must purchase a ticket. It is best to book a ticket to see the baobab trees at sunrise and sunset. We had the time of our lives in Madagascar and I will be booking an air ticket to visit Madagascar again.
