Antananarivo sits on an elevated slope. Avenues and step-flights lead to a rugged ridge.With its noise and terrible traffic, the town center itself scares off many travelers from remaining but bypassing the city would be a mistake altogether.
For three centuries, Tana has been home to Malagasy forces and there's a massive amount of history and culture to explore, as well as some interesting wildlife options.
With its stunning colonial houses, steep streets and mild climate (the average altitude in Tana is (1400 m), the Haute-Ville is a perfect place to stroll about in the city itself.
Lastly, Tana is the place to treat yourself to a fine meal in Madagascar: some establishments equal Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe but without the price tag. A railway links the capital to the east with Toamasina, the main port on the island, as well as to the south with Antsirabe and the north with Lake Alaotra.
There are many things to do there, with different tastes for all. To learn more about the culture and history of Malagasy, visit the royal palaces or historic places, such as the Pavilion Market Upper City, lined with atypical architectures.
You will have the ability, in addition to an experienced guide, to quickly learn more about the Malagasy people and their past.There are several places littered with wildlife in the center of the town and its outskirts.
The capital's surrounding areas will allow you to practice a variety of outdoor activities, such as canoeing, horseback riding, tree climbing or mountain trekking. There are a variety of options. When picking up the car the extra driver would have to be present at the nearest rental office to prove his / her driver's license. Might add some limitations. Please review the terms and conditions
Thus, Antananarivo Ivato Airport and downtown Antananarivo are the two places you can access the car hire services on this Island. Because of the roads condition it is strongly recommended that you get a driver to take you around. Usage of the roads here can be hectic for a new driver.
Car rentals also provide online reservation services that are an asset for tourists where they can compare car hire prices from various companies and make more educated decisions.
