e-Visa finally available for Madagascar
Good evening Kabary the Foreigner,
Thanks for the phone number.
The hotel was "Sangri-La: too fancy for us."
I’m traveling with friends. My partner recently passed away from cancer. There are three of us doing this trip. We chose Rivo as our driver-guide. I got good feedback about him on the Routard forum. We planned the sleeping arrangements and activities together.
24-day road trip: We arrive on a Thursday at 1:50 AM on Kenya Airways flight A at Ivato (Tana). - We leave straight for Miandrivazo—11 hours on the road—and will sleep at "La Pirogue." - Tsiribihina River descent: 2.5 days by barge, booked through Rivo. - 2 nights in Bekopaka at "Tanankoay"—visit Tsingy de Bemaraha. - 1 night in Morondava at "Trecicogne" after seeing the Avenue of the Baobabs. - 2 nights in Belo sur Mer at "Écologe du Menabe." Activities included. - 1 night in Morondava at "Chez Laurette." - 2 nights at "Chez Pierrot le Suisse." Activities proposed by Pierrot. - 2 nights in Mangily at "La Bella Doma"—a nice hotel. I found one room with a mezzanine for the three of us. Activities included. - 2 nights at "Chez Alice." Visit Isalo National Park. - 1 night in Ambalavao at "Tsihenimparilly." Activity: Anja village. - 1 night at "Chez Papa Velo." - Hike in the Zafimaniry region—homestay. - Antsirabe at "Résidence Mahosa." - 2 nights in Andasibe at "Grace Lodge." Visit the tropical parks with lemurs. - 2 nights in Tana at "Résidence Tianey." Visit Antananarivo and Ambohimanga. - Return to France.
That’s our itinerary. Yes, we know we’ll spend a lot of time on the road—it’s often like that in all my trips, whether in Southern Africa or elsewhere.
Usually, I drive with a rental vehicle.
