The small town of Ampefy is located at a lake west of Antananarivo in the centre of Madagascar. The area of Ampefy is characterised by volcanic landscape and crater lakes.
Ampefy can be reached by taxi-brousse within a 2,5-hours drive (111km) along the good asphalt road RN2, starting at the taxi-brousse station Fasani Karan just 10km outside of Tana.
