Getting there

Car

From Morondava, head northeast on Route Nationale 35 (RN35) for approximately 100 km. Continue on RN35 until you reach the town of Bekopaka. This is your base for visiting Tsingy De Bemaraha. The road leading into Bekopaka can be rough, so a 4x4 vehicle is recommended. Once in Bekopaka, you can either hire a local guide to take you into the park or arrange for a tour package that includes transportation.

Public Transportation

From Morondava, take a taxi-brousse (shared minibus) heading towards Bekopaka. The journey will take around 6-8 hours and cost approximately 20,000 MGA. The taxi-brousse will drop you off at the main junction in Bekopaka. From there, you can hire a local guide or arrange for a 4x4 vehicle to take you into Tsingy De Bemaraha National Park. Be sure to confirm the cost of the guide and vehicle beforehand, as it can vary.

Boat

An alternative route to Bekopaka is to take a boat from Morondava to the Manambolo River. This scenic trip takes about 3-4 hours. Once you reach the river port, you will need to hire a local guide or a 4x4 vehicle to take you the remaining distance to Tsingy De Bemaraha. This option offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscapes but be sure to check the boat schedules ahead of time.
