If you need help to prepare your trip to Madagascar, we gather here, all the tips and advice to help you in preparing your trip to Madagascar.
In Antananarivo and other cities in Madagascar, begging is an omnipresent reality. Many families send their children to beg, while others come from the countryside with the same goal. As travelers, it is essential to understand the impact of our actions and to act responsibly.
You are about to discover a true natural masterpiece, where the beauty of the landscape meets the modernity of agriculture. As you travel along the road heading east, bordered by hills with white, pink, and gray slopes, you will be immersed in one of Madagascar's most fascinating sites, where intensive rice farming reigns supreme.
Beware, you are entering a world of explosively spicy flavors. In Madagascar, two trades thrive: grocery and medicine. And for good reason, chili reigns supreme in the markets, but it doesn’t come without consequences for the stomach.
Malagasy festivals are numerous, but their dates are unpredictable. They depend on the lunar calendar and the decisions of diviners. To attend, you must first be invited. Theoretically, you should also wear a lamba, a piece of cotton tied as a loincloth for men or draped over the chest for women, have bare feet (no shoes), and avoid consuming pork. However, be sure to check the specific rules for each ceremony. Here are some essential festivals and customs with their expected periods:
The Malagasy flora represents a category of natural curiosities, offering an incomparable plant diversity. With over 12,000 recorded species, the island is a sanctuary for naturalists and botanists. A true paradise of orchids, where nearly 1,000 species compete in beauty…
You’ve probably heard of the Tsingy, one of the highlights of Malagasy tourism. But do you really know what makes them so special? These incredible rock formations, mysterious and inaccessible, defy logic and spark immediate fascination. How did nature create such sharp structures? What lies within this labyrinth of caves and pinnacles?
Camping is one of the best ways to fully enjoy the parks and reserves of Madagascar. In many areas, hotels are often far from tourist sites or do not meet the quality standards that some travelers seek. Opting for camping allows you to stay closer to nature while saving on accommodation.
Navigating the calm waters of a river, away from the noise of engines, and solely powered by the current and the steady strokes of a local paddler, is one of the most natural experiences you can have in Madagascar. Traditional canoes are still widely used as a means of transportation to explore remote areas while remaining environmentally friendly.
Are you looking for a dish that is tender, flavorful, and rich in history? Let yourself be charmed by varanga, this delicious shredded beef that will surely delight your taste buds.
Belo sur Mer, a small fishing village located about a hundred kilometers south of Morondava, is a true treasure for those seeking an authentic experience, one of the favorite destinations in Madagascar. Access to this remote location is not so easy: a difficult track to navigate in the dry season or a journey by sea. But once there, the reward is great: a beautiful bay with sandbanks perfect for admiring spectacular sunsets, and from mid-June to mid-September, whales visible offshore.
