Morondava ([murunˈdav̥], from Malagasy: morona lava "long coast"[2]) is a city located in Menabe Region, of which it is the capital, in Madagascar.

Over the years, as the country's population grew, the forests were steadily cut down, leaving only the baobab trees, which the locals preserved for religious reasons.

Today, deforestation still continues as large areas of this region, including some of few remaining baobabs, are cleared to make way for sugar cane plantations.

The Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located 150 km north of Morondava.

The road from Morondava is poor, but Tsingy de Bemaraha is reachable by 4x4 in approximately 10 hours.
