I came across this and was a bit worried. I suppose when I go, I shall stick to the city during the daytime.

Talking for yourself I guess.

I think you are correct and I tend to agree. Let see how its works with examples.

Phase 1:

Providing fake info at the first line of the post. (In order to gain Trust).

Phase 2:

Flood with questions in the following lines of the same post.

Their most familiar technique is to gain attention is to pretend that they are "on the ground", ready to meet etc. Then, they start flooding questions without any true intention ever to visit outside Mum house. After a certain amount of time they change name and over again.

Talking for yourself I guess.

Indeed he did. My bad. All I will add is that if he takes the same mode of transport for the entire trip he will save a bit of time but it is going to cost a fortune. Good luck.

Also can agree that there are too many arguments and debates. Would it be too much to ask that we try to stick to informative posts and try not to slag each other off? I know the temptation as I have had to stop myself to replying sometimes to know it all or no nothings but I try!

Bajuni,

I have read your report and let me try to help you because I am the only one who knows why the original poster choose that complex route. He was flying from Morondava to Mahajenga since he got it in one ticket. (instead Morondava-Tana and Tana Mahajenga). All trip was 3 weeks.

As the guy was said he visit Mahajenga-nosy-be. Nosy-be-Diego but in fact he bought also one ticket from nosy-be to Diego. Then when the plan stops at Nosy be he told the airline that he lost his luggage so he can not continue to Diego so basically he got "stop-over" in Nosy be with the original ticket to Diego. That's why its look a complex route.

Now, you want to return to Morondava why? And why you can't resize your photos to 640 x 480 resolution? As this is the restriction of ISG. Just resize them.

You did a trip, now asking for infos but not give any infos from you.

If anyone need info the best thing is to jump into the deep water and learn by yourself. ISG is useless for info now. Long time ago it was deviate from the original purpose. I always amazed to see how powerful and open are the reports from other forums such as Thaivisa, Rooshvforum etc. Here you can find mostly debates and arguments from guys that has zero correlation with the country they posting.

[SouthEaster]

Impossible to say. If that itinerary is all overland you have at least 10 days of wearying travel right there. Add on how many days in each place and you have a rough idea.

And yes, if you did a trip give a report. There is little enough up to date info as it is with members only asking and giving nothing.

I was in Mada in Feb for a week and did Tana and Morondav.

but a lot of unscheduled time changes, they postpone the same flight many times or simply cancell it if they don't get the plane full and I had to take the next one 3 days afterwards.

Don't forget they are expensive not to mention that stop over will cost a fortune. So if you want to fly from Bangkok to mada and stop in Addis they will charge a lot of money for that stop. Kenya airways allows to book very flexible "multi destination" without any fee for stop over. So you can stop in Nairobi in your way to Mada and get a cheap flight of VIP seat at the "Modern coast bus" to Mtwapa to get a good meal at "El Mansure" restaurant.

But lets stop to talk about flights and see what Tana has to offer. And yes don't bring any clothes to Mada its bed idea.

Ethiopian Airlines has very hospitable flight attendants, brand new aircraft, and a wide network. I have never flown first class on Ethiopian but it looks nice. The only downside is that a 12 hour layover overnight is sometimes required if one arrives in Addis in the evening, but the airline will put you up in a local hotel gratis

Well yes they have the new Boing 787 now but as already before with the old planes I thought I fly in a fridge and got a flue afterwards.

In addition they not only have the scheduled layovers but a lot of unscheduled time changes, they postpone the same flight many times or simply cancell it if they don't get the plane full and I had to take the next one 3 days afterwards.

Mada is being hit by a cyclone almost every year.

.

- and in China there is a bicycle accident every 10 minutes.

Now, where is the popcorn, mate?

[Axel01]

This is not a sexpat destination. You can go anytime. Go now if you prefer cooler weather; January if you like it hotter.

Hi everyone,

Keep in mine that summer is also the cyclone / hurricane and raining season. Basically from November to May, the weather can get very very bad. And it's also the mosquitos season.

If you want to visit the country-side (of Mada '), it can be quite difficult due to the generally bad road's conditions, if it's raining. (Sorry for my syntax).

Mada is being hit by a cyclone almost every year.

Take care and have fun.

It would be great if Delta could fly direct from US to East Africa destinations, but the security standards would have to be raised in order for any US carrier to fly directly to East Africa.

Hi Jiggy,

Does it have to be Delta, who gives shitty service and old ugly, crusty grandma flight attendants? Kenya Airways was approved for flights out of O'Hare to Nairobi. Am seeing a price of 1000 bucks on their site.
