Andoany, formerly known as Hell-Ville, is the small capital city of Nosy Be, an island off Madagascar’s northwest coast. The island is known for its crater lakes, waterfalls and rainforests, which are home to an array of wildlife. The Lokobe Nature Preserve hosts endemic lemurs, bats, reptiles and birds. Nearby Nosy Komba allows glimpses of the rare black lemur. The waters offshore support extensive coral beds, attracting divers and snorkelers.
