The Great West of Madagascar

You leave Antananarivo in the early morning and set off to discover National Highway 7. Some tourist attractions are proposed to you such as the stop in Ambatolampy, where you go to meet blacksmiths working aluminum as in the Middle Ages. You arrive in the town of Miandrivazo in the late afternoon where the impression of returning to African soil is felt. An East-West crossing between mountains and bare hills follows before arriving in the rice plain of the Mahajilo River.

You leave the Miandrivazo valley, reputed to be the warmest in Madagascar, and meet the Andansonia Grandidieri baobabs. A first pass in the middle of this aisle allows you to take the measure before continuing your journey on this track for 2 hours. Your hotel is located close to the Kirindy Forest and itself bordered by these giants.
