Day 14 2 Jan
Nosy Be to Mandritsara 400km

Day 16 4 Jan
Mandritsara to either Ambondromamy 450km or Andilamena 200km approx. Off road all of it.

Day 17 5 Jan return to Tana

The road between Mandritsara and Andilamena is not tarred or maintained. Usually its only open for about 2 months a year. And that is the one I want to take.
BUT I have no info regarding it. SO I will have to find out in Mandritsara if it is possible or not


This will be my first long trip and also solo. Im excited but also a little bit apprehensive. Im no mechanic but the bike is in an good condition.

Any suggestions are welcome.

So if this page never gets updated it probably means the crocodiles got hold of me.
