Madagascar

[Neddy69]

Today first tourists arrived. If anybody is there I would be interested in that situation there.

All Inland routes by Taxi Brousse are open. Ethiopian is operating to Nosy Be. Return flight to Europe around 1064 euros. That is info from my boots on the ground. Girls are hungry. Prices for food and accommodation dropped. Fly to Nosy Be. Rescue the poor starving girls. LOL.

I did read yesterday on L'express de Madagascar that the new terminal on Ivato Airport is under final testing with hired volunteers. One of the major excercises is people management for testing on Covid. It was said once the procedures are confirmed working, they will open that terminal for international flights.

However, a date was not given.

Where you have this wisdom from? The only international airport open from October 1st is Nosy Be. And as a tourist you are not allowed to leave Nosy Be and the Island Archipelago.

I have information that from END of October the airports of Tamatave, Diego Suarez and Fort Dauphin are open for flights from Reunion only. And I did not see that in writing either. As far as I know Ivato Airport is and will remain closed for the foreseeable future except for domestic flights with Tsaradia. And with cases on the rise in many European countries I don't see Antanarivo international Airport open up for international flights any time soon. Of any member has other information please post it but with the source. I. e. Official government press release. All other things is just Blabla and hearsay.

La Buse.

I already stated. International flights will resume to Ivato earliest April 2021. If I am wrong I pay the first senior member a beer In No Comment bar in Tana. LOL.

April 2021? Castel Gold for me.

Info about opening is here.

But you are right, could be wrong.

Just saw that, and no other links or sources.

What we've heard here in MAdagascar is that.

On October 1st, international flights will resume but only to Nosy Be, it will then be "forbidden" to get from Nosy Be to the main island.

"Soon", regional flights will resume, but only to Diego, Tulear, Taolagnaro and Toamasina. Regional means from La Reunion mostly.

EDIT: Sorry, La Buse had already given the same info

Yes Kenya is "open". That means you can enter. So is Rwanda and from October 1st so is Uganda.

But is Kenya enjoyable? No. Curfew. Masks everywhere. Coast and Mtwapa is dead as a dodo. No tourists= no pussy. Except some leftovers. Bars closed. What you want to do there??

Tanzania is OPEN. And that means EVERYTHING.

La Buse.

And with regards to the useless tests. Use a PDF editor. Don't be a fool... Here in TZ they have great customer service. They issue Covid certificates with any specified date. hahaha.
A and if you want to waste your money on overpriced safari sleeping in a tent for a 100 dollars a night. you can do that in Tanzania as well. And you don't have to wear a mask in the bush either. LOL

I can agree with your saying but I was talking about Kenya just to mention that it was open, nothing more. But surely curfew and masks are there, so. Not so enjoyable. And if I do Safari its my choice, when I travel I can have different goals depending on my wishes.

Regarding false tests, I also agree fully. When we arrive, the first lane was for tests control. One by one we had to show our phone with the document. The girl was thoroughly checking the document and after some time, if ok, she was saying, ok go to the next check.

But never she checked our passport, so she checked the test without knowing my name.

All doors for falsification are wide open in this case 😁.

There is a big difference though, these countries are coming out an extremely long lockdown, the girls are so hungry for money now more then ever, no income during all these months. . So if you have already a lot of friends from the last times it's in my opinion money time now.

Yes, this article looks strange, I guess they speak mainly to la areunion to Madagascar flights, and even conditions to embark are to be checked.

Tanzania seems open as Neddy says, but also Kenya is open. You have been there from 25 of August to 6 of September, from France, via Lufthansa. Plane was full.

Conditions were to get a covid negative test less than 72 h before entry and qr code generated by an app which is a "sur l'honneur questionnaire".

But now, from France, Tests results are given in more than 3 days so impossible to get again to Kenya now.

I was there for Safari, no mongering, but was possible to move in town with mask and there was a curfew every night.

Well the article certainly looks the real deal. If true I would love to take advantage of it but I am leery of making plans for anything regarding travel right now. The timing sucks big time as well. Opening up just in time for rainy / hurricane season.

Who is going to be the first Guinea pig and try it?

I checked today on flight radar 24. There's one daily flight from Reunion and Mauritius. But that doesn't mean even if you make it to Reunion that you as a tourist are actually allowed to board it.

I'll stay in Tanzania. The only sensible country right now. No Covid. No masks. No BS. Plenty food pussy and cheap booze. In short. Paradise.

Same thought here buddy! I thought he was either being funny or trolling us there are a couple of trolls in the Madagascar thread be careful.

So you already 4 month in Tana and you ask where to find girls?

Its like you walk in the desert 4 month and pull your mobile phone log into a forum and ask please where can I find sand.

Remind me a few classics from John Wick 3 "please give this man a gun".

I just read that Madagascar is opening airports to international traffic by 1st of October.

Interregional traffic was already opened since 1 month.

Bar, karaoke, restaurant will reopen too.
