Excellent report! Very informative with so much details. I have already visited Tamatave, Tulear and Mangily. I want to visit Sainte Marie Island and Nosy Be. After reading your report, I will try Nosy Be next. Thank you very much.

I am still waiting for your Mangily report you promised.

Don't stop writing because of a few negative comments.

Your reports are great, Manfield.

In Tulear, I stayed at Serena hotel. I had booked with booking dot com, so I paid more but if you book directly with the hotel, the double rooms on second floor are at MGA 95,000. A little rooms on first floor are MGA 75,000. There are other hotels in the vicinity which are cheaper. You will have to enquirer with them.

In Mangily, I stayed at Hotel La Bella Donna. I had a beach front bungalow. I paid MGA 90,000 per night. Of course, there are cheaper rooms at other nearby hotels.

I am flying tulear on may 24 and will go mangily also I bought tana-tulear roundtrip return plane ticket for 144 euros in total just with hand luggae it was very good price. Need to search little bit information on forum before because I don't know anything about this places yet. If someone can share budget hotels for mangily and tulear also some nightlife info it was great!!

I been saintie marie couple years ago it was quied. Main island town have few discos but they was open just on weekend also couple discos at villages but as I remeber they was quiet place. Probably its better take a girl with you if you going from tamatave. Saintie marie is nice for 2-3 days trip, rent motorbike and explore island after you get bored if you not very much into romantic.

Nosy be (ambatoaloaka) probably is the easiest and safest place for mongering in all madagascar

Very nice review. Thank you. Just like to know where I can buy a local simcard in Nosy Be.

[Golfinho]

We have the same taste. I think Mada right now is the best spot for slim LBFMs. Nice pictures. I y.

That's everyone's taste. That is, until you get the mood for a succulent white one, or a Brazilian-Colombian.

Thanks for the review, very solid info. It confirms what Neddy said a few months ago. It looks like I will have to shorten my stay in Diego and give it another try. I don't think Mahajunga will be quite up to that standard but you seem to enjoy yourself wherever you go. Keep it up!

Wow.

Very nice, very informative and very positive review Sir. Your description does a lot to back up the good things that have been posted by Neddy and others.

I spent last January and February in Mtwapa, and while I found the town and the area to be very much to my liking, the heat was difficult for me. I will do some research online about the weather in Nosy be, but I wonder if you could comment on it in general for me please?

I am considering a return to Kampala, Mombasa and Mtwapa in July and August as I was told by folks in the know that the weather is a little less intense from June through September. I am guessing it would be similar in Madagascar?

I am also interested in visiting Zanzibar, so it may be that a big loop through Kampala, Mtwapa, Dar / Zanzibar and on to Madagascar may be the thing to do.

Thanks again for taking the time to post a very useful, positive and informative report. Such reporting as yours and others who share solid, actionable information are what keeps this board a viable resource.

Thanks again,

Cheers and good travels.

Pic of hotels at ambatoloaka.

[Pokeris]

From ankify take a fast boat to nosy be for 15000 ariary it takes around 40-45 minutes. Go out of the port at hell ville and was looking for tuk tuk to ambatoaloaka I ask how much its the price they start said me silly prices like 40000 ariary I know the price is 3000 ariary for locals I try 3 diffrent tuk tuks but get again silly prices like 20000 ariary or simillar nobody want to negotiate and take me for 3000-5000 ariary so I give up and find the tuk tuk driver who accept 7000 ariary for trip to ambatoaloaka even I know I overpaid.

Hotels:

I stayed at hotel ody for 2 nights the room price is 60000 ariary also they have rooms for 70 k. Its simple budget basic hotel, have hot water, fan, good wifi, mosquito net, but some rooms can be noisy because its on main road and windows divided in small parts so you can't shut them properly. My room was into some local house side with chickens so they make noise every early morning. I decided check some other hotels which neddy69 was reccomended on ISG forum before and find great one!

Robinson crusoe hotel. This place just round a corner from ody hotel. I like this place a lot for 60 k ariary you get all bungalow house with quiet fan, good wifi, warm shower, sitting area outside, mosquito net, and quiet at nights and days because it out of main road. Owner speak some english and are nice guy!

Nightlife at ambatoaloaka is small and everything is very close in walking distance so not need tuk tuk but in case you want use it its 1 k ariary.

Biliard bar (disco) just next to (taxi be) many girls inside always can see at least 1-3 girls I like thb small is 5000 ariary.

Taxi be -plenty of girls live music every night most of the times see some girls I like. Thb small 6000 ariary water 4000 ariary.

Sirene disco late night place get busy when taxi be and biliard close and not open everyday but probably every second day entry fee was 3000 ariary.
Thb small 5000 ariary.

Djembe disco also open not everyday its start late also when bilard or taxi be is closed and everybody move here. On weekend entry fee was 5000 ariary on weekdays its was free. Its just opossite sirene disco. Thb small 5000 ariary.

Taty chris. Its a bar (disco) at beach little bit futher away I think its open just sundays start early at 18.00 pm but have great atmosfere inside proper malagashy disco my style!!
Cheap beer prices thb small 3000 ariary. I was impressed with this place I come around 9 pm and it was fully packed its big bar (club) was probably 200-300 people inside many local malagashy guys and a lot of girls probably all island was partying here on Sunday. I collected 4 numbers from girls I liked and fucked 2 of them next days.

Eating:

Plenty of cheap and some more posh places for food. You can have here zebu brochet big portion for 10000 ariary at some local places or chicken with rice for 8000 ariary or omlet for 5000 ariary.
Many local places for cheap beer between 2500-3000 ariary for small or big bottles 4000-5000.

Girls: you can pick up girls here everywhere, beach, clubs, bars, at streets. I just ask them numbers and every girl give it, later I text them and they come my hotel I fucked 10 diffrent girls in 5 days all between 19-22 years old and paid 30 k ariary for short times, sometimes I was giving 40 k for great service like ass licking or cum into mouth. Long times I was giving 50 k. I never get any complain about money from any girl I have here and most of them have nice attitude and give good or great service. They all was texting me on facebook or on phone for repeat next times but I very rare take same girl second time. I rented motorbike and explore all island the busy places just hell ville and ambatoaloaka. Other parts is quiet. I collected 25 diffrent girls contacts already but use 6 of them.

Nosy be (ambatoaloaka) probably is the easiest and safest place for mongering in all madagascar even blind can get laid here just wave with 3 notes of 10000 ariary and girls will come to you!! You can always find a 2-3 girls per day you like without problems. Now I understand why neddy69 was staying here long time! I also like here, but one week will be enough for me its time to move on Friday!! Next stop mahajunga.

Will share some girls pic from nosy be on next post when finish trip at island.

Hi guys,

Anybody who knows about the actual situation in Nosy Be? Read on the one hand that it is crowded with ladys and on the other hand that there are nowadays almost no ladys anymore. So what is true?

Thanks.

The answer is called RTFF, just two post below.
