Morondava

The district containing the gateway city of Madagascar's west coast, famous for sunsets on the Avenue of the Baobabs.

Morondava District lies on the west coast of Madagascar, in Menabe Region. The district seat, Morondava, is the main tourist hub of the west, on the Mozambique Channel, with beaches and a fishing-village atmosphere. The nearby Avenue of the Baobabs is one of Madagascar's most iconic sights, most enchanting at sunrise and sunset; to the north, Kirindy Forest Reserve offers a chance to see lemurs and the fossa. It is also the starting point for trips to Tsingy de Bemaraha. The dry season is the best time to travel. Morondava has an airport with flights to the capital.
