Connecting Madagascar’s Capital with Its Main Seaport
Antananarivo and Tamatave (Toamasina) are linked by the RN2, one of Madagascar’s better-maintained national roads, running roughly 365 km east from the capital through the highlands and the Alaotra-Mangoro and Atsinanana regions. The drive typically takes 8 to 10 hours depending on traffic, weather, and stops, while shared taxi-brousse companies such as Cotisse, Soatrans, and Kofmad operate this route daily from Antananarivo’s Ambodivona station.
Tamatave, Madagascar’s largest port city, is also the main gateway to Sainte-Marie Island and the Pangalanes Canal. For travelers short on time, Tsaradia and Madagascar Airlines operate multiple daily flights between Ivato International Airport (TNR) and Toamasina Airport (TMM), covering the journey in about 45 minutes.
This intercity transfer links Antananarivo, Madagascar’s capital, with Tamatave on the east coast.
