Three Weeks
Route du Sud
This classic route will whisk you from Antananarivo down to Tuléar along the famed RN7.
First stop is Antsirabe , where you should take a pousse-pousse (rickshaw) tour and ex-
plore Sabotsy market. Drive down to Fianarantsoa through spectacular mountain scenery.
The next day, hop on the FCE train to Manakara ; stay on the beach for a couple of nights
and tour the Canal des Pangalanes .
Drive back to the RN7 to visit Parc National de Ranomafana and hike in the park's
rainforest. Time your visit to the highland town of Ambalavao to coincide with Madagas-
car's largest zebu market, then spend a few days hiking among the granite peaks of Parc
National d'Andringitra .
Further south is another wonderful protected area, Parc National de l'Isalo , with jagged
sandstone massifs and cool canyons.
Stop at the sapphire boomtown of Ilakaka on your way to the coast. Eschew Tuléar and
head straight for the perfect beaches of Anakao or Ifaty , and the Great Reef . From Tuléar,
you can fly back to Antananarivo or travel on to Fort Dauphin or Morondava.
