During your stopover in Toliara, be sure not to miss a visit to the Rabesandratana Museum, an essential spot for marine life and flora enthusiasts. Located on Avenue de France, near the port, this maritime museum, founded by Professor Rabesandratana in the 1960s, offers a different perspective on your journey by immersing you in the underwater world of the Mozambique Channel. With its whale skeleton in the courtyard, the museum itself might appear a bit outdated. However, the explanations about the maritime heritage of the region, from Fort Dauphin to Morombe, can be fascinating if you happen to meet the right guide.
