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.
Are you curious about how much it will cost to travel in Madagascar? You’ll be pleased to know that the country is incredibly affordable, even extremely cheap. However, this applies to those who embrace the Malagasy way of life, where simplicity and authenticity are key. If you're aiming for international standards of comfort, that's a different story.
The practice of basket weaving in Madagascar is more widespread than you might think. From one region to another, local raw materials such as raffia, palm leaves, reed, rushes, rice straw, and sisal are skillfully crafted. These materials allow women to create both functional and aesthetic objects: hats, handbags, briefcases, placemats, sandals, and even decorative animals. Nothing is more trendy than these pieces in vibrant or pastel colors!
Madagascar is a destination where travelers often move from place to place, meaning frequent trips from one point to another, which requires a lot of travel by car, although domestic flights may sometimes be included for certain routes. These journeys can be exhausting, especially if you're not used to them.
Antananarivo will soon be illuminated with its most beautiful colors... The jacarandas are about to bloom! Walks around Lake Anosy then become a striking visual spectacle, with these majestic trees adorned in bright violet, breathing life into the center of the city.
Diego-Suarez Bay offers wild shores to explore, surrounded by lush vegetation of rosewoods, baobabs, and vibrant flamboyant trees. This site, rich in history, is filled with military remnants and stretches of white sandy beaches as far as the eye can see.
Traveling to Madagascar also means being welcomed by a true culinary melting pot! Besides the Malagasy culinary delights, the island offers many surprises through its diverse culinary influences from around the world.
Malagasy cuisine has its own unique charm, but Madagascar is also a crossroads of flavors from elsewhere. In the island’s main cities, restaurants will allow you to taste dishes that will evoke memories or take you even further on your culinary journey.
Île aux Nattes, this small round gem measuring 5 km by 3.5 km, is located just 5 minutes by pirogue south of Sainte-Marie. With its pristine white sandy fringe and lush vegetation, it offers a peaceful refuge away from modern hustle and mass tourism. This enchanting place proves to be a destination for sustainability and ecotourism, preserving its authenticity while welcoming visitors for many years.
During your visit to Madagascar, you may have the opportunity to attend cultural events where greetings and wishes play a central role. Whether it's to celebrate a birth, a wedding, or even year-end festivities, it’s essential to know how to express your wishes and greetings in Malagasy. And guess what? It’s just as simple as in any other country!
Although the current used is 220 V and the outlets are similar to those in France, the reality on the ground can be quite different.
In major cities, frequent disruptions in electricity supply are part of daily life. JIRAMA, the state-owned company, often cuts power for several hours a day in non-priority areas. Some establishments compensate for these outages by using their own generators, and solar panels are starting to spread.
Dive into the tropical forests of Sambirano, in Northwest Madagascar, and let yourself be amazed by one of the island’s most fascinating residents: the Lemur macaco, where the male is distinguished by his black head, while the female has white tufts of fur framing her ears.
