Highlights
Wildlife and Nature Tours
Known as the “8th continent” for its unique biodiversity, Madagascar is home to species like lemurs, chameleons, and baobab trees. Visit national parks like Andasibe-Mantadia or the Avenue of the Baobabs, and hire local guides for a richer experience. About 80% of its flora and fauna are found nowhere else in the world.
Getting Around
Infrastructure can be challenging, so plan for longer travel times, especially if going off the beaten path which can be a bumpy ride at times.. Domestic flights or personal drivers are often the best ways to navigate longer distances, as public transportation can be unreliable.
Prepare for Cash-Only Areas
While major cities may have ATMs, many rural areas are cash-only. Bring enough local currency (Ariary), as credit cards are rarely accepted outside larger hotels or cities.
