Subjects : Nosy Karabo is part of the Mitsio archipelago: it consists of two small islands separated by a short arm of the sea and takes its name from a carob tree (Karabo in the local language), originally hosted by the highest of the two. last, perpetually uninhabited, it consists of an asperity of volcanic origin with beautiful formations of basalt basalt and rises above a lava plank, while the lowest, which has a hut that serves as temporary shelter of local fishermen, is a hillock made up of residues of white corals and black lava stones on which beautiful geological formations stand out.Nosy Karabo offers remarkable photographic opportunities: the geological structures of volcanic origin, the vegetation and the contrasts between the white of the corals and the black of the lava are spectacular. The seabed has a rich and colorful life. The meeting with local fishermen offers opportunities for ethnographic documentation.

Recommended equipment : Depending on the subject, from wide-angle to landscapes to paintings for photos to fishermen and details of the islands. The geological formations are definitely worth shooting from above with drones. Recommended equipment for underwater photography (even minimalist equipment ensures excellent results given the clarity of the water, the shallow depth and brightness of the seabed)

Best months : The best period is from April to November.

How to get there : Nosy Karabo is totally outside the tourist circuits and it is very difficult to reach it: first you need to get to Nosy Be (there are direct weekly flights connecting Italy) .Then you can leave in catamaran (the best solution to explore Nosy Karabo calmly and visit the rest of the archipelago) or, if you are a guest of the resort in Nosy Tsarabanjina, you can book an excursion to Nosy Karabo.

Visits : Nosy Karabo is almost completely uninhabited and access is free

Notes : Nosy Karabo is a small pearl unknown to most. However, it is one of the most beautiful islands of the Mitsio archipelago and, like Nosy Tsarabanjina, I think it should be visited at least once in life, if possible: it is wonderful !!
