Intercity Transfer Between Diego Suarez and Vohémar
Travel between Diego Suarez and Vohémar, a scenic coastal town at the northern end of the SAVA region on the northeast coast of Madagascar. The route covers approximately 315 km via the RN6 south to Ambilobe, then east on the improved RN5a — a journey of about 8–10 hours by private car.
Vohémar is a natural stopover on the way to Sambava and the Vanilla Coast, and is notable for the Green Lake (Lac Vert), a volcanic lake situated just 7 km south of town. There are no direct scheduled flights from Diego Suarez to Vohémar; the road route via Ambilobe is the standard connection.

Road Transfer Between Diego Suarez and Vohémar via RN6 and RN5a
The route follows the RN6 south from Diego Suarez to Ambilobe (~120 km, 2–3 hrs), then heads east on the RN5a to Vohémar (~155 km from Ambilobe, 3–4 hrs). Total road distance is approximately 315 km. The RN5a between Ambilobe and Vohémar was paved/gravelled between 2020 and 2022, dramatically improving travel times on this previously very difficult track. A 4×4 is still recommended, particularly during the rainy season.
Vohémar’s domestic airport has historically received irregular flights from Antananarivo and Sambava; however, no regular scheduled services currently operate from Diego Suarez. The road via Ambilobe is the reliable overland connection. From Sambava to Vohémar, the road is only 153 km and has been passable for years, making Sambava an alternative starting point for flights if needed.
Vohémar is known for the Green Lake (Lac Vert / Andranotsara), a former village said to have been transformed into a lake according to local legend, and surrounded by coconut and cacao plantations. It is also a key junction for continuing south toward Sambava and Antalaha.
This transfer connects Diego Suarez with Vohémar, the northern gateway to Madagascar’s SAVA Vanilla Coast.
