I don't know much about Malagasy technology but they had rice, chicken, and outrigger boats (possibly sail), plus fishing and various house building techniques. What would happen if they made contact with mainland Africa and transfered their know how? Rice is doing pretty well in Mozambique. Perhaps African cattle could be adapted as draft animals.
It would be cool if the Malagasy manage to transplant the elephant bird to southern Africa and something could be done with it.
