Season: Tsingy de Bemaraha closes in the rainy season. The road from Morondava to Bekopaka becomes impassable and the ferries stop running. Journeys including the park run from May to November, occasionally from late April depending on the rains. Trips elsewhere in Madagascar can be arranged year-round.

Showing journeys that include The Avenue of the Baobabs.
