While connected to other cities by road, the road conditions are so poor that most visitors will arrive on an Air Madagascar flight from either Toliara or Antananarivo.

Berenty Reserve is a 1000 ha private reserve located 86 km west of Taolagnaro. It is one of the premier tourist destinations in Madagascar as it has been protected for over forty years and is home to six species of lemur, the south's largest colony of fruit bats, and 103 bird species. You must make arrangements to visit ahead of time, and the single lodge is often fully booked months in advance.
