    The Famadihana, or the turning of the bones, is a unique and fascinating funeral ceremony where families exhume and rebury their ancestors.

Check local event listings closer to your travel dates for specifics.

  • What etiquette tips are important when visiting Madagascar?

    Respectful behavior is key. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites or rural areas. It's polite to greet people with a handshake or a slight bow. Bargaining is common in markets, but do so politely. Learn a few basic Malagasy phrases; it's appreciated.

    For a weekend, focus on one area. Antananarivo offers cultural experiences and historical sites. If you prefer nature, the Avenue of the Baobabs and nearby areas provide a stunning visual experience.
  • What are the top shopping destinations in Madagascar?

    The main markets in Antananarivo offer a wide range of goods, from handicrafts and textiles to spices and souvenirs. Local markets in other towns and cities also offer unique shopping opportunities. Be mindful of bargaining customs.
  • What are some off-the-beaten-path places to explore in Madagascar?

    The remote areas of the southwest, including the spiny forests and less-visited national parks, offer unique experiences. Many smaller islands off the coast also provide opportunities for secluded exploration. However, thorough planning and potentially a local guide are essential for off-the-beaten-path travel.
