BASICS NOTION FOR DRIVING TO MADAGASCAR

To make it, first of all, we invite you to learn more about the national roads and the tracks  condition to Madagascar:

- The average speed for driving to Madagascar is 75km per hour due to the presence of "potholes", sinuous and graded roads.
- Traffic is more intense on national roads, especially the RN2 and the RN7.
- Be very diligent when driving for your safety and not attract problems (the road is not just for cars in Madagascar)
- The selfdrive  roads are indicated on the road map below.
- Apart from that, a minimum of knowledge in mechanics will be an exceptional asset in your trip but this is not obligatory
