Posts: 113Best internet in Tana / Nosy Be
After traveling for many years to Colombia and the Philippines, I'm becoming fascinated with Madagascar as one of my next destinations.
My only problem is I have limited vacation time (so I need to work from my destinations) and I have a family at home that I usually have a cover story for about a work trip. So I will need to find the best, most consistent internet access during my trip. Even if that means I overpay for hotels. From RTFF, it sounds like the capital and Nosy Be are the ideal places to visit during a 3 week trip. Are there hotels with 1st world internet access? Is the 4 G good enough for Teams / Zoom meetings and FaceTime? Just looking for recommendations to make the transition as smooth as possible.
One other question. I'm fluent in Spanish. If I plan a trip 6 months out, is it worth it to invest some time learning French. Or will my beginner level not give me much advantage?

Thanks for all your advices, especially about weather. I do hear you, but apart from the weather factor, which 2 destinations would you recommend (for a mix of beach / activities and pretty girls), 1 week /10 days for each, among these 4 destinations:
1/ Majunga.
2/ Tulear.
3/ Tamatave.
4/ Morondava.
Or others? Knowing that I already know Nosy Be and do not intend to return there.
Thanks for your advices.

Posts: 528West coast
February is still summer. The entire west coast will still be hot. Don't recommend it unless you like the heat. July and August are nice, except for Mahajunga up north where it is always hot.

But if you're tossing up between the Philippines and Mada based on weather reports then you're asking the wrong question. I have already been to three African countries, read the Mada forum cover to cover and I'm still wondering if I'm ready for Mada. Suggest you RTFF thoroughly before even considering it.

Posts: 126Late Feb. To mid March
Folks,
I am considering making a trip to the island from late Feb. To mid Jan. Would the rains impact my chances at hobby, and enjoying the country in general? Would you choose Mada or Philipines for this weather reason?
Thanks!
