Transport in Madagascar
Madagascar is a huge place, the roads are bad and travel times long: it takes 24
hours of solid driving from Antananarivo (Tana) to Diego Suarez (Antsiranana),
18 to Tuléar (Toliara), 16 to Morondava and so on. Be realistic about how much
ground you want to cover or you'll spend every other day in the confines of a
vehicle - heaven forbid it be in a taxi-brousse!
Internal flights can be huge time savers but they are expensive and do no
good to your carbon footprint. If you decide to fly, you'll have to choose
between booking your flight before setting off, which is more expensive but
guarantees availability, or booking once in Madagascar, which is cheaper but
less flexible in terms of timing.
