Madagascar Travel Tips

👨‍⚕️ Visit Your Doctor Before the Trip

If you visit during the Wet Season when it is warmer, you may need to take some health tips from a doctor. One of these tips is about preventing Malaria and getting vaccinated for possible disorders. If you have any allergies or need to take possible medications with you, you must consult with a doctor before traveling to Madagascar.

 

🧳Getting Around

If you do not like the idea of using public transportation, you can hire a driver and rent a car. This will cost you, but at least you have the freedom to go where you please at any time you desire. Driving in Madagascar will need a bit of getting used to, but it is not impossible.

⚠️ Safety

Safety is not a significant concern in Madagascar, but you need to be careful. If you are careful enough and mind your stuff, you will have no problems. Do not leave your stuff like money and electronics unattended. Otherwise, you should be fine. Do not stay out during the night, and nothing out of the ordinary will happen.

 

👗 Dress

The weather is diverse in this country. You will need to be prepared for heavy rains and dry and warm days. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to fight the possible heat of the day. Have waterproof clothes for the showers and bring good walking shoes as you will be trekking and hiking in many places. If the weather is suitable, bring something comfortable, pack for unusual activities, and always check the forecast.

 

👱 Guide

There are cultural aspects and taboos to know which require some level of knowledge. It is best to have a guide to tell you these things and to show you around. If you do not want a guide, read about the people as much as possible, and perhaps bring your own guide book. Other than that, there is the necessity of having a guide with you in some places. It is easy to find local guides for such sites, but if you must, avoid these areas.

 

💧 Tap Water

Tap water is not purified in Madagascar, and you need to stick to mineral or purified bottled water. You should also avoid eating ice if you are not sure about its water. In an ideal situation, you can bring a purifier.

 

🍽️ Food

Budget travelers and people who visit mid-range restaurants are advised to eat if the food is fresh and served very hot. If you can check the water with which your meal is prepared, that would be even better. High-end restaurants and eateries will not need such precautions.

 

🈯 Language

You will need to learn a little French as well as a bit of Malagasy. You will not get serious problems, but there is a chance that not many people will understand English.
