The baobabs are one part of the story. Give the coastal town, its working shore and the wider landscape their own time. Begin with a place you want to understand, then put the practical arrangements around it.

A town, a coast,
a wider landscape.

Give each setting its own time. Start with the places that matter to your visit, then connect them with care.

Life by the water.

The shoreline is a place of work and everyday journeys. Keep space for boat crews and arrange visits through people who can explain what is welcome.
