Why visit the Avenue of the Baobabs
A dirt road lined with giant Grandidier's baobabs, some of them several hundred years old, rising 25 to 30 metres above the rice fields. At sunset the trunks turn red and orange — it is one of the most photographed places in Madagascar.
The site is a protected natural monument. Local villages live around it, so visiting with a local guide also supports the community.
What you can see around it
Close to the Avenue are the Baobab Amoureux (two baobabs twisted around each other) and other remarkable trees. From Morondava you can also cross by pirogue to Betania, a Vezo fishing village, and spend time on the beach at Kimony.
When to go
The Avenue can be visited almost all year. The dry season, from April to November, gives clear skies and easy roads. Come for sunset for the classic photo, or at sunrise for a quieter visit with fewer people.
