Madagascar’s highest peak is Maromokotro, it is 2876m high, sometimes it even snows up on the peak. The Mangoky is the longest river in Madagascar and Lake Alaotra is the largest lake in Madagascar.

History: The people of Madagascar came from Austronesian people who settled on Madagascar in 350AD, then the Mozambique people sailed across the Mozambique Channel, and the two tribes mixed and became the Malagasy People. The Malagasy People come from a mix of Subsaharan African roots and Southeast Asian roots. There are eighteen Native Malagasy tribes and they all have different costumes and ceremonies. The Malagasy Language has more roots that come from Southeast Asia, the closest language to Malagasy is the “Ma’anyan ” language which is spoken in Borneo. Since Madagascar is a former French colony, French is also spoken in Madagascar but only 1⁄4 of the population is fluent.
