"The Vanilla Coast" - or SAVA Region

The "Sava" area derives the name from its four principal towns, Sambava, Antalaha, Vohémar and Andapa.
A lack of good road access from other regions, combined with barriers of rugged mountains and thick rainforests, makes the area a region of its own.
The region is easily accessible by air with regular services into Sambava and Antalaha.
