Iconi

Immerse yourself in a captivating historical adventure in Iconi, the ancient capital of the sultans, nestled in the shadow of an impressive volcanic cone. In the 1800s, brave women jumped from these heights to escape slavery at the hands of Malagasy pirates, an act of resistance etched in the memory of this place. Iconi was long the heart of the Bambao Sultanate. In the center, discover the ancient palace, Kaviri Djewé, built of coral and lava stone, a true testament to a rich heritage.

On the outskirts of town lies Lake Marabou, a haven for mangrove and seabird watching, with the majestic Mount Karthala as a backdrop.
