Hi,

We are planning to visit madagascar in April for a little bit more than 3 weeks.
I'm currently condisdering starting in morondava for the tsingies and the baobabs. How long does it take to get there from Tana by bush Taxi?
How many days should i realisticly plan for a Tana - Morondava - Ranomafana section if no flight is involved.

I'm in very early stage of my planning so i will probably come with a couple other questions :)

thx in advance,

Morondava to Tsingy was 10 hours drive when I went so allow plenty of time for the unexpected and slow roads

Hi hbguru,
I don't think April is best time for Tsingy because it's still raining in Madagascar and the road will be closed on this time but you have check it before you will go.
Tana -Morondava by taxi brousse it's about 10 to 12 hours driving.
I have sample of itinerary if you like :
Day1 Tana- Morondava
Day2 Morondava-Tsingy
Day3 Tsingy
Day4 Tsingy- Morondava
Day5 Morondava-Antsirabe
Day6: Antsirabe-Ranomafana
Day7 Ranomafana
Day8Ranomafana-Tana.
Good luck!
Anne
