Travel Links – There are several flight connexions that connect Mahajunga with Tana. But also Nosy Be and Antsiranana (Diego Suarez) can be reached from here several times a week.
The 560 km RN4 between Tana and Mahajanga are in pretty good condition so that the frequent taxi-brousses take approximately ten hours to cover it.
