The Long Road West to Madagascar’s Baobab Country
The route from Antananarivo to Morondava covers roughly 650 km: south on the RN7 to Antsirabe, then west on the RN34 through Miandrivazo to Malaimbandy, before continuing on the RN35 through Mahabo into Morondava. Road conditions deteriorate noticeably past Antsirabe, and the trip by private car or taxi-brousse typically takes 12 to 15 hours, sometimes longer during the rainy season (November–April) when sections can become difficult to pass.
Morondava is the gateway to the Avenue of the Baobabs, Kirindy Forest, and Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park. Tsaradia and Madagascar Airlines operate several flights per week between Ivato International Airport (TNR) and Morondava Airport (MOQ), reducing the journey to about 1 hour 10 minutes for travelers who prefer to skip the long overland route.
This intercity transfer links Antananarivo, Madagascar’s capital, with Morondava on the west coast.
