Madagascar Travel Blogs

Background: Formerly an independent kingdom, Madagascar became a French colony in 1896, but regained its independence in 1960. During 1992-93, free presidential and National Assembly elections were held, ending 17 years of single-party rule. In 1997, in the second presidential race, Didier RATSIRAKA, the leader during the 1970s and 1980s, was returned to the presidency. The 2001 presidential election was contested between the followers of Didier RATSIRAKA and Marc RAVALOMANANA, nearly causing secession of half of the country. In April 2002, the High Constitutional Court announced RAVALOMANANA the winner.

Ambatoloaka
Ambatoloaka
The view from the villa we stayed in Ambatoloaka. We could pretty much see the entire beach. At the end of the day, it's just the most amaizing sunset ever!
Nosy Be... What to say about that special place. Roman, Fanny and I decided to go there, for our last trip all together! No words could actually describe its amaizing ocean, its permanent blue sky, and its nature. It's very different from all the place I've been to. I won't say it's like Bali but the mood is a bit the same. It's less crowded and the beach is too clean! It's quite expensive there tho, and it is said that only rich people can afford the trip! But it's not true cause it is possible to find cheap places. We [View Full Entry]

Fosa - Apex preadator of Madagascar
A tranquilized fosa is examined by Dr. Luke Dollar of Duke University.
In recent years traveling in remote parts of Madagascar and Tanzania, I had, indepently and spontanaeously had the same conversation - once over a campfire in the Udzungwa Mountans (Tanzania), the other in a small village some 200 Km from the west coast town of Majunga in Madagascar. Some background, in Tanzania, I'd embarked in a multi-day walk through the upland rainforests of the Udzungwa mountans - a fantastic experience but tense. You come around sharp bend on the trail in the dense rainforest and come upon bowling ball sized dung, still steaming, from elephants. The Serengeti, not. You r [View Full Entry]

Over the course of our trip we have heard Madagascar's top ten pop music dance hits about 30 times each- usually the songs are threatening to blow another speaker as we are sitting in the cramped Taxi-brousse and trying to catch a few Z's. But, it has been our pleasure and amusement to watch the few music videos that have circulated throughout the island and are shown in the small roadside restaurants. I'll try my best to give them justice... As most islands seem to be, they are a couple of decades behind the times with their biggest influences seeming to [View Full Entry]

Rum in my Tum TUM Africa » Madagascar » Moramanga
Hey all first mate Colin here! I was demoted from Commander after a wild and crazy night in Morondava on my bday. It turns out that all the ladies that were hanging from me at the club had a price tag, and thankfully for Ari s bulldog ways she shooed them away before too much damage was done. But for my poor behavior I was demoted, and Ari found some old French ex patriot that she says she loves and will be moving to the south of Madagascar to give back rubs to Jacque, while he paints the sunset while puffing [View Full Entry]

20 HOURS... Africa » Madagascar
After Krindy we thought it may be a good idea to practice a bit of masochism- ya know, since we have been so good to ourselves. We got a ticket for a taxi-brousse ride from Morondova back to Tana * The ride could take anywhere from 16-21 hrs we were told. With our time dwindling and the ticket to hell not too expensive (44,000 AR per person - about $23 each) we grabbed the opportunity to cover a large distance even if it did mean cramming into a smelly van with enough leg room for the average 8 year old or [View Full Entry]

The trecherous and bumpy road to prostitution did not actually take us too long... We took a large covered truck on the 4x4 road from Toliara north to Ifaty. Ifaty is a madagascar/Jamaica setting with many old french ex-pats looking for a good time with the young malagasy girls. It was actually really sad to see, almost every old hairy sunburnt man had one or two malagasy girls with him- we had heard the problem was getting worse in the area and most of the girls actually came from Toliara to um work. But Besides the Hookers, Ifaty was very beautiful! [View Full Entry]

Poop Beach babes Africa » Madagascar
From Toliara we took a 20ft fiberglass dinghy to the Manjaki hotel on a small isthmus from the mainland. This is a very nice place to visit because the village is small and you must be a rugged tourist to stay. The only way to get there is by boat or pirogue. A pirogue is a carved out sailing canoe with a single outrigger. They are all made of wood and very traditional. The hotel was on the beach with five dollar a night bungalows and three amazing meals a day. The meals were octupus, calamari, crab, or fish. With a [View Full Entry]
