Went back to Antananarivo for 2 weeks for work. The place has changed. There are so many aggressive beggars now in the streets. I didn't feel safe at all. The poverty has increased tremendously because of the covid restrictions. And yet the prices for pay 4 play have increased so much. The attitude of the girls has also changed. They are not sweet anymore. Expect really disrespectful behaviors at times. The prices have doubled in some places. Overall I was very disappointed. I guess the general trend of higher prices for less GFE has finally reached the destination. If it wasn't for my job I wouldn't come back. And the fact that I don't speak French is a very big handicap here.

On the other hand. I would be very careful nowadays with booking through dealers. If there is any change you are in deep shit. The airline will refer you to your agent and that one is not available to talk to. Better pay 50 $ more and book direct on the airline website.

The Air Mada flights nonstop roundtrip from Paris are under one-thousand, some days seven-hundred USD. The one I took recently outbound was subcontracted out to a Portuguese carrier and had a one-day date change, otherwise nice flight and nowhere near full.
Don't waste a thought on someone obsessed with the cheapest possible experience, live your life.

La Buse.
Who never paid more than 650€ and always on Air France to isle rouge.
At south Easter you're of course disadvantaged from Canada.

Posts: 526From where?
I would like to know as well. Currently travel to Tana from the west coast of Canada takes 2 back to back 10 hour flights and runs about 1500+ euros return. Ouch!

If the Chinese contractor gets it, assume its done in 3 years. If its done by the Egypt group, perhaps it will become a Pyramid?

Posts: 9Beginners go to Kenya, pros to Madagascar?
Hi,
On different posts here I have read that Africa beginners should go to Kenya and more experienced Africa travelers should go to Madagascar.
What are the reasons for that? I get that in Kenya they speak English which makes the language barrier go away. But what are the reasons beyond that?
Some reason I could imagine of would be:
- Madagascar is larger, hence more difficult to travel around.
- much more expensive flights from Europe.
- less tourism, hence less infrastructure.
Stuff like corruption and safety I don't consider, as I don't believe that Kenya is safer than Madagascar.
What else am I missing? Is it the girls attitude?
