Peace of the braves in Ambohimanga

Life goes on in this town as it always used to be going in the Malagasy highlands’ countryside: fresh air, quiet, composure and proverbial hospitality from the locals. Ambohimanga happens to be a major landmark in the history of Madagascar’s royal times’ highlands. King Andrianampoinimerina the Great tackled the conquest of the whole territory of Antananarivo and completed the errection of a mighty Merina kingdom from Ambohimanga as starting point. King Radama I., his son and successor, extended his father’s achievement on national scale and founded as first the Kingdom of Madagascar. The royal palace of Ambohimanga is accessible to visitors. So, there is little to be waiting for.
