From Ambondromifehy, you can find shared taxis (known as 'taxi-brousse') that travel to Ankarafantsika National Park. Once you arrive at the park entrance, you may need to hire a local guide or arrange for a taxi to take you to Lake Ravelobe, which is about 15 kilometers from the park entrance. Ensure you confirm the fare beforehand, as prices can vary.

  If you are already within the boundaries of Ankarafantsika National Park and prefer to walk, you can take one of the marked trails leading to Lake Ravelobe from the park's visitor center. The walking distance is approximately 5 kilometers, and the path is well-defined. Make sure to wear appropriate footwear and carry enough water, especially during the hotter parts of the day. Enjoy the scenic views along the way, as the park is known for its diverse flora and fauna.
