Car
If you are driving from Antananarivo, take the RN2 road heading east towards Toamasina. Continue on RN2 for approximately 130 km. Look for signs indicating Mandraka Falls. You may need to park your vehicle at a designated area near the falls, as the last segment may require a short walking distance.
Public Transportation
From Antananarivo, you can take a taxi-brousse (shared minibus) heading to Toamasina. Get off at the town of Moramanga, which is about 100 km into your journey. From Moramanga, catch another taxi-brousse that goes specifically to Mandraka or the nearest village. Make sure to confirm with the driver that they will drop you off close to Mandraka Falls. After disembarking, you may need to walk about 1-2 kilometers to reach the falls.
Walking
Once you arrive at the drop-off point near Mandraka Falls, follow the signs or ask locals for directions to the falls. The path may involve some rugged terrain, so wear appropriate footwear. Allow yourself about 30 minutes to an hour of walking to reach the falls from the nearest drop-off point.
