Getting here is not easy or fun. The road is a roller coaster in places with thick dust near the rivers. It will take a full days driving and you will question your life choices at some points. The …Paul S的完整评论

Give yourself a few days here so that you can experience both the Grand Tsingy Route and the Petit Tsingy Route. These are quite a distance apart. We stayed in Bekopaka and had a driver & guide wit…Thecatsmum4的完整评论

The park is suggestive, plus the via ferrata makes the experience a real adventure! If you have 2 days, do the big Tsingy (with via ferrata and bridge crossing) one day and the petit Tsingy + canoa t…913martao的完整评论
Hi! We are planning a trip in January 2020. Is it possible to visit Tsingy in January? If so, what tour operators would you recommend? Thank you in advance and safe travels!
答:
One cannot visit (or even reach) the tsingy in the rainy season, and January is certainly part of the rainy season. I think the road and the tsingy only reopen in May.
I joined big and small tsingy last month. But I can't figure out which circuits I've been. Are there anyone who can tell the all differences among circuits? And as far as I know, big tsingy includes one big and small circuit for each. Is that right? Thanks in advance.
答:
The Big Tsingy has the suspension bridge and to get to it, you have to walk 45 minutes through the forest. It also has ladders. The Small Tsingy can be assessed just from the car park.
Does anyone know how much is the "ferry crossing toward Bekopaka? And how is the gas price there? Thanks

You will certainly require cash. We found almost no places, either accomodation or shops, accepted credit cards or, if they did, there was a minimum spend of 200,000Ar. We had issues with the ATMs at the airport in Tana - they would not pay out if we tried our cash cards but we could extract money with our credit cards. Thick wads of 400,000Ar are about $150 Canadian. Many places will accept Euros rather than the local currency. The more remote you go, the more you require cash in Ariary. As a final tip, delicious Madagascan chocolate could be bought at service centres for about $A2.50. The same blocks once in the duty free area at the airport were $A14! Buy souvenirs along the way if something takes your fancy, the infrastructure is so poor that crafts are sold where they are made rather than being transported to other locations.

You can take a normal commercial flight with Air Madagascar from Tana to Morondava. From there you need a 4 WD and driver to take you north. The road is initially a pretty good gravel one, apart from some corrugations, up through the Avenue des Baobabs and on to Kirindy. Things deteriorate there after. Expect loose sand, a single lane road, 'bull dust holes', a poorly cambered road, steep access tracks onto ferries and plenty of mud. The road is impassable in the wet season. There have been some security issues recently on the section between Belo-sur-Tsiribihina and Bekopaka with talk of tourist vehicles forming a convoy with military protection. We travelled the route safely in July this year. There appeared to be an airport at Bekopaka but apparently only charter flights from Tana land there. If you could get on one of those it would certainly save you a lot of time but you would miss the adventure. You could also join a commercial 4 day trip and canoe to Bekopaka down the Manambolo River from the highlands but you would still have to negotiate the road back to Morondava two exit the area. The road to the north is even worse, apparently!!!
