Being a poor country, the people of Madagascar have long been dependent on deciduous trees. It can provide shelter, clothing, food, and water for the animal and human inhabitants of the African savannah regions. That's why it is known as the "tree of life". The leaves of Baobabs trees are an excellent source of protein, minerals and vitamins A and C, which are used as condiments and medicines. The baobabs along the avenue look like trees that have been uprooted and re-planted upside-down. Their branches, which only sprout from the very top of the trunk, are adorned with flat clusters of leaves that catch the light at sunset. Dusk and dawn are the best times to visit.
