Madagascar - Manakazo First Descent
15/02/2008 - The Manakazo river proved to be the highlight of the trip; 3 days of high quality whitewater including slides, waterfalls and technical rapids. The boys put on this first d with only an old 250,000 to 1 scale map from 1969 (the latest edition available in Mada), with hopes of finding a bridge somewhere downstream and counting on their driver to find the same bridge. They arrived 3 days later successfully descending this classic section and leaving only 3 drops un run. Here are some of the photos from this incredible river.
