Most travellers looking to explore this off-the-beaten track city on Madagascar’s southeastern coast arrive by train, having traversed the famous Fianarantsoa-Côte Est railway from the capital of the Haute Matsiatra region further to the north. Built by French colonists in the early 20th century, the old and rickety track winds its way from the high inland plateaus to the coast, passing through some of the planet’s most precious tropical rainforest habitats along the way.
Once in town, look forward to an authentic Madagascan urban experience, with a post-colonial old town that cosies up right to the sea on the pleasant Allée des Filaos. Here clusters of Malagasy eateries rub shoulders with the painted facades of the old French buildings, while the ceaseless din of the Indian Ocean continues in the background.
And do make it a point to take up the assistance of your Manakara tour guide in arranging a pirogue down the Panganales Canal, as well as getting a lowdown on the flora and fishing villages as you pass them by.
