Getting There

  From anywhere in Anketrabe, you can take a local taxi (often called 'taxi-be') to the nearest village with access to Tsingy de Bemaraha, which is a common starting point. Make sure to negotiate the fare beforehand; it typically costs around 20,000 to 40,000 MGA depending on your exact location in Anketrabe.

  Once you reach the village (like Bekopaka), you will need to take a boat across the Tsiribihina River. The boat ride costs around 15,000 to 25,000 MGA per person. This river crossing is essential to access the Tsingy de Bemaraha area.

• Walking

  After the boat ride, you will have to walk approximately 2 to 4 kilometers, depending on your exact drop-off point, to reach the entrance of Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve. Follow the signs and local guides along the trail, as the path can be rugged.

• Park Entry Fee

  Before entering the park, ensure you pay the entrance fee, which is approximately 55,000 MGA per person. This fee contributes to the conservation of the reserve.

• Local Guide

  It is highly recommended to hire a local guide for the Tsingy de Bemaraha visit. A guide can enhance your experience and ensure your safety while navigating the unique limestone formations. The cost for a guide typically ranges from 50,000 to 100,000 MGA, depending on the duration and complexity of the tour.
