  • What are the top shopping destinations in Madagascar?

    Antananarivo's Zoma Market is a vibrant place to find local crafts, textiles, and souvenirs. Smaller markets in other towns and cities also offer unique shopping experiences. Look for hand-woven textiles, wood carvings, and jewellery.

    The remote areas of the Menabe region, the rainforest regions of the east coast beyond the main tourist areas, and the southern spiny forests offer unique experiences for adventurous travellers. However, thorough planning and preparation, including local guides, are essential for these areas.
