Fianar-Manakara train

This train ride, the only one working in the country, has become a very popular tourist activity. Most catch the train down to Manakara and come back by the road, stopping at Ranomafana National Park.
For the Malagasy, this train is a vital link between the highlands and the coast and every village in between. Besides the three passenger wagons, the train carries merchandise: the bananas you see, chooks, pigs, and more.
