Frequently asked questions about holiday rentals in Madagascar

  • What are the must-see places in Madagascar?

    Madagascar boasts incredible diversity. For natural beauty, you absolutely must see the Avenue of the Baobabs near Morondava, Isalo National Park with its dramatic sandstone formations, and the Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site with its unique karst landscape. For wildlife, consider a visit to the Masoala National Park in the northeast, known for its incredible biodiversity, or the Anja Community Reserve, home to ring-tailed lemurs.

    Andasibe Lemurs Lodge, Somptua Garden and Isalo Rock Lodge are the most popular Airbnb and vacation rentals in Madagascar among travelers.

  • What are the typical activities to do in Madagascar?

Wildlife spotting, especially lemurs, is a major draw, often involving guided nature walks or treks. Boat trips to see whales (seasonal) and other marine life are also popular, particularly off the coast of Nosy Be. For a more relaxed experience, you might enjoy exploring the beaches of Nosy Iranja or Ile Sainte Marie.
  • What are the most popular Airbnbs in Madagascar?

  • Which part of Madagascar offers the most pleasant climate?

    The highlands, particularly around Antananarivo, offer a generally pleasant climate, with cooler temperatures than the coastal regions. However, even the highlands experience distinct wet and dry seasons. The coastal areas are generally hotter and more humid.
  • What are the best vacation rentals with a pool in Madagascar?

    Andasibe Lemurs Lodge, Somptua Garden and Isalo Rock Lodge are the best vacation rentals with a pool in Madagascar.

  • What airport options are there for reaching Madagascar?

    The main international airport is Antananarivo Ivato International Airport (TNR). This is where most international flights arrive. There are also smaller airports in other regions, such as Nosy Be, but these primarily serve domestic and regional flights.
  • What are the best rentals for families and kids in Madagascar?

    The best rentals for families and kids in Madagascar are Andasibe Lemurs Lodge, Somptua Garden and Isalo Rock Lodge.

  • Are there specific challenges to driving in Madagascar that visitors should know?

    Driving in Madagascar can be challenging. Road conditions vary enormously, from well-maintained roads around major cities to very rough and poorly maintained tracks in more remote areas. 4x4 vehicles are often recommended for venturing outside of urban areas. Driving at night can be particularly hazardous due to poor lighting and the presence of pedestrians and animals on the roads. It's advisable to hire a driver familiar with local conditions.
  • What are the best rentals or Airbnbs with a jacuzzi in Madagascar?

  • What currency is used in Madagascar?

    The Malagasy Ariary (MGA) is the official currency.
  • What are the top festivals to experience in Madagascar?

    The Famadihana, or 'turning of the bones', is a unique and significant cultural event where families exhume and rebury their ancestors. It's a vibrant and colourful celebration, though the timing varies by family and region. The Donia Festival, celebrating the arrival of the new rice harvest, is another important event, typically taking place in the highlands. Specific dates vary annually.
  • What is the best time of year to visit Madagascar?

    The best time to visit generally depends on the region and what you want to do. The dry season (April to October) is generally best for most activities, offering clearer skies and better conditions for hiking and wildlife viewing. However, the wet season (November to March) can be a good time to visit if you don't mind rain and want to see the landscape lush and green.
  • What are some local dishes to try in Madagascar?

    Romazava, a hearty beef stew with vegetables, is a national favourite. Try also henakisoa, a chicken dish cooked in a coconut milk sauce, and ravitoto, a dish of braised greens with meat. For something different, sample various types of local fruits and seafood.
  • What emergency numbers should you know in case of a medical or security issue in Madagascar?

    Emergency numbers can vary, so it's best to check with your hotel or tour operator for the most up-to-date information. Contact your embassy or consulate for assistance if needed.
  • What etiquette tips are important when visiting Madagascar?

    It is polite to greet people with a handshake, and always show respect to elders. Bargaining is common in markets, but do so politely. Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Learning a few basic Malagasy phrases is always appreciated.
  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Madagascar?

    A week allows for a good exploration of one or two regions. Consider a week exploring the highlands, including Antananarivo and the surrounding area, or focusing on the west coast, combining the Avenue of the Baobabs with a visit to Isalo National Park. Nosy Be and its surrounding islands are also a great option for a week-long beach and island-hopping holiday.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Madagascar?

    For a weekend, Antananarivo itself offers a good base for exploring the city and its surrounding areas. Alternatively, if you prefer a more relaxed getaway, a weekend in Nosy Be or Ile Sainte Marie would be ideal, focusing on beaches and watersports.
  • What are the top shopping destinations in Madagascar?

    The Zoma Market in Antananarivo is a large and vibrant market offering a wide range of goods, from handicrafts to clothing and food. Smaller markets exist in most towns and cities, offering a more local shopping experience. You can also find souvenirs and handicrafts in many tourist areas.
  • What are some off-the-beaten-path places to explore in Madagascar?

    The far north of Madagascar, including the region around Diego Suarez, offers stunning landscapes and a more remote experience. The Makay Massif, a vast and unexplored region in the southwest, is ideal for adventurous travellers seeking a true off-the-beaten-path experience, but requires careful planning and preparation.
