Madagascar’s Longest National Road to the Southwest Coast
The RN7 connecting Antananarivo to Tuléar (Toliara) is Madagascar’s longest and most traveled national road, covering approximately 930 km through the highlands and the towns of Antsirabe, Ambositra, Fianarantsoa, Ambalavao, and Ihosy before reaching the southwest coast. By private car or taxi-brousse, the journey takes 15 to 20+ hours, and most travelers split it over two days with an overnight stop, often in Fianarantsoa or Ranohira near Isalo National Park.
Tuléar is the gateway to the Mozambique Channel’s beaches, including Ifaty and Anakao, and to the Reniala spiny forest reserve. Madagascar Airlines and Tsaradia operate daily flights between Ivato International Airport (TNR) and Toliara Airport (TLE), covering the journey in about 1 hour 45 minutes.
This intercity transfer links Antananarivo, Madagascar’s capital, with Tuléar on the southwest coast.
