Sambava-Ambohimitsinjo-Farahalana-Sambava by bike

Shortly after leaving Sambava north along RN5a and turning left onto a secondary, this runs along hills with panoramic views, passing the villages of Antisraka and Ambohimitsinjo. From thereon the road continues through various plantations at lower altitudes until the Maheva river, thereafter passing Ambodimanga, Masovariaka until Farahalana where the RN5a runs north back to Sambava.

During the rainy season, the road along the river until Farahalana is very muddy and more or less bikeable in places.
