Toliara & the Southwest

For many years, the coastal towns of Mangily and Ifaty have proven themselves as the ideal place for a beach break after a trip along the national parks and other highlights along the National Route 7.

The springboard for these beach towns is Toliara. The regional airport of this town is very useful for shuttling travelers back and forth after or before their tour.

From Toliara you quickly reach the national parks of Isalo and Andringitra (Tsaranoro Valley) as well as the hard-to-reach areas around Anakao and Tsimanampetsotsa.
