Avenue of the Baobabs

Best period

avr–oct

Recommended duration

1 night

A dirt track lined with around twenty centuries-old baobabs, near Morondava. The site itself takes ten minutes to walk — but the light changes everything, and the sunrise crowd is nothing like the sunset one.

The planner's tip

Sleep at a nearby lodge and walk back at dawn — you'll share the avenue with two or three locals cycling through.
