Madagascar

[Neddy69]

Wow Neddy sorry to hear you had such a lousy time. I actually like Diego the best in Mada but it sounds like I am in the minority. I usually stay 2 plus weeks and I suppose the time I go has something to do with it. In July and August it is beautiful and has not started to get hot.

Maybe my standards are low or maybe there are fewer "sausages" at that time of year but I don't have any problem finding girls either walking down Colbert or later at Taxi Be. Sure every night is different but I am not under time pressure so if a night goes by and I have nothing by 11 PM I just wait till tomorrow. I also normally get a couple of numbers for repeats during the day. I prefer ST and don't do the late night thing so it works for me.

Good luck in Nosy Be. I didn't like Helleville at all. Too many tourists and not many mongering areas and higher prices with little justification. 30 K for ST sounds good though.

Good luck.

I agree that there is many factors. I could have get laid several times. But. The pickings were incredibly slim and 90% of the gorgeous chics are either with Vazaha or gasy boyfriends and these you don't see in the clubs unattached. I like them slim and in the 18 to 23 year old age bracket. Preferably no kids.

July August probably worst time for Nosy. Main holiday season for Italians and French. My mate who is a Mada veteran told me. Last time there were a lot of chics from Antalaha working in Nosy complementing their income before the vanilla harvest. Now all top shelf WGs from Diego in Nosy. So yes. Big difference. At SE. Have you been to Tulear yet? For me my favourite place and Mangily and Surrounding Villages.

For me the best place in Mada.

Neddy.

If you not been to Tata Dzombe and Zsa Zsa Club you ain't seen nutting yet. hehe.

Agreed, Hotel Les Artistes surely the best choice close to LE Glacier, with very good restaurant full of cute waitresses, not sure you can do something with them but at least nice company.

Other choices around LE Glacier:

- New Select, 30 meters on same side of street as LE Glacier, upstairs 2nd floor reception and rooms at 3rd floor I guess, 70 k, very girl friendly, a bit noisy if balcony room, but so close from both Les Artistes and LE Glacier.

- Sole Hotel, modern and very good quality for 70 k but 5 minutes walking away from LE Glacier, at night could need taxi for safety may be.

Massages parlors in street Lalana Russia, 10 minutes walk from LE Glacier, at least 3 Mps there, the second one being my favorite with Anna. Nice remind..

New Select, very girlfriendly. True, that means they are experts in renting rooms for a few hours. You can hear other guests. Elevator didn't work, WiFi in room didn't work. I can't recommend.

Sole hotel, breakfast included, rooms OK, but at night you need a taxi to glacier. Around the hotel there are working girls on the street.

Massage Parlors not far away, Lalana Russie, but more expensive then meeting girls in clubs. Try also Manson. I like this place. Only problem there is your clothes smell bad, because of smoke from cigarettes.

Sakamanga, looks touristic but the restaurant is OK.

It's in walking distance to glacier. Price starts 75 k per night.

And for pick up girls, LE Glacier, very easy to find, at least I could check that, at 3 pm in afternoon, always some girls there, got Valerie, but was on Saturday, may be more on we than during week.

Cafe des Artistes: Everybody knows the place. Best restaurant, lousy hotel.

Hotel La Ribaudiere: Good Restaurant and Good rooms in annex.

Central Hotel; despite sub-continental ownership it's well-kept. (note: alcohol not served in their restaurant).

Sakamanga: tourist hotel, Avoid.

These are all budget places.

Hello!

I am in north Madagascar but soon I'll be back to tana which I never explored. Could you recommend any good and affordable hotel close to the action (which seems around LE Glacier if I am correct)?

I am interested in both day (massages and quickies with lady) and night (bars and take home ladies) activities, so looking for the perfect hotel in terms of location and easy access!

Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear of your trials and tribulations in Diego. Yes, pass-through mongerers may be disappointed. You probably should have befriended a local Malagsy dude to run interference and arrange introductions to nonpros if your time and patience are limited. Living here allows one to cultivate a nice rotation, and I prefer the nonpro, young MILFs (<30 yo) that are eager for $ and vazaha companionship (OK. Mostly the $). I agree that Tamatave is a better choice if time and resources are limited. And if you prefer cotiers (which I do).

Yes, plenty of Diego gals in Nosy Be. But Nosy Be is also full of European vazahas. Ambatoloaka in particular is crawling with honkies on the prowl for Malagasy trim, so beware the nightly sausage-fetes (per your descriptions of Diego). Tati Chris up the road is a better option, but only on Sundays. Hit or miss in Helleville. Happy hunting and bon chance.

Thanks for your feedback. What I sorely miss versus Tana Tular or Tamatave is early evening takeouts like SWs. Diego seems to have a good city council. Plenty working! Streetlights. Newly paved roads. So I suspect there is no SW area to speak of except some uglies plying their trade in front of LE Vahine. I must be fair. Out of the total of 10 days I spent 5 days recovering from various ailments. And somehow I was spoiled rotten by other Mada towns. Also Taxi Be in Tamatave were plenty of Vazaha. But there the game was clear. ALL chicas were ready and eager for take out. Diego different Kettle of fish. Thanks for the tips for Nosy. Mate of mine returned 2 days ago. Not a lot of tourists now on the ground. Absolute buyers market according to him. Loads of 7 to 8's for Massage available during the day. 30 k ST. Sounds good to me. I really don't want to hang out late.

Neddy.

[Vahaza Be]

I ll head to Nosy Be on Tuesday.

If you want to spend a lot of time Diego can be ok. Stay 3 months there or become a resident than you ll access the good chicas. For 1 or 2 weeks. Don't waste your time.

The last couple of days were indeed filled with interesting experiences which confirmed for me. Please don't come to Diego for mongering. You can do anything there for example Kitesurfing. Rent a moto or a Quad. Visit some National Parks. Go dancing. But don't come to Diego to get laid by Topshelf that is 7 and above chicas. The reason is. If you are a Topshelf red hot pute from Diego et environs wanting to make a quick buck and tell your family nothing about it? Exactly. All are in NOSY BE doing exactly that. Now. I tried all in the book. For me Diego is a target poor environment. I am not willing to invest a lot of time and effort. That's what's needed here. I had a contact of a red hot 8 19 yo chica from Diego via Afro. After meeting her at Pizza Gastronomy we went to bed together. What did it mean. The chica slept fully dressed for a full 12 hours in my bed. In the morning she text me via Google translator. I am on my period. WTF. Ok. Send her home. Gave her a second chance to redeem herself next night. No show. Malade. Haeeh? Of course the evening after which was Saturday night she wanted to go out and take a friend with her. Guess what who foots the bill. Moi. NFW. Stopped responding. For me its only pussy against cash. I am not a romantic. Desole. At 2300 I went to Nouvel Hotel. AT tungsten2. Sorry mate. There was not a ratio of 1:19 rather 1:1. Men to women that is. In a Nutshell. Forget it. The place was swinging all right. Good gasy music dancehall Bongo you Name it. Don't go there to get laid.

As far as I am concerned chicas break down in 3 different categories.

A. young chicas without money these are the ones wandering in pairs or in mixed groups from 1830 to 1930 you can see them promenading. By 1900 they all have melted away. At late night you see none of them as walking from the residential areas at midnight is too dangerous and a tuktuk aller retour is 4000 AR at night.

B. Les putes. The same crowd which frequents LE Vahine after Taxi Be migrates to Nouvel hotel after midnight. Out of the 30 or so there is around 5 doable the rest expired.

C. Gasy non pro chicas with some money. They are usually in pairs or 3. Prime target group for me. Most are older or plain and simple ugly. There were about 4 or 5 potentials. But these chicas are not there to get laid rather to enjoy themselves. If you approach them they let you bounce off like a rubber ball from concrete.

That's why LaBuse called it a night a 0230. I could have tried outside there were chicas hanging around. But I am not being pressured. I fitfully slept alone.

I ll head to Nosy Be on Tuesday.

My final take on Diego. For me probably the worst p4 p destination in Mada. Why? For a limited time you need to be extremely lucky. First of all white sausage fest. But also plenty of gasy man who rock and roll. I am a white 55 y/ old male. There were some french mongers who where trying to score. So imagine maybe 10 doable chicas being swarmed. Funny enough. Nobody bothered looking at the hardcores. I think they wait for the cruise ship passengers. So abysmal. If you want to spend a lot of time Diego can be ok. Stay 3 months there or become a resident than you ll access the good chicas. For 1 or 2 weeks. Don't waste your time.

Of course. Other people might have different experience. But that's my view of the situation. I am a cash and carry monger. I m not in the love vazaha game.

Salama.

Is there anything that you can recommend after dark in Helleville. I didn't find anything there. Spend my time there only during the day.

Bar Ankoay was my go to place after dark, I prefer the seating on the sidewalk rather than inside. L'Oasis Cafe for good food and fresh baked goods.

[Neddy69]

Diego. I still try to get to grips with the place. After spending a week at LE Valiha sweating my a. Off, time to move ops out of Vazahaville Rue Colbert that is. Time to move to the gasy part of town. But first. After La Buse has recovered, time to give Vazahaville a last chance. Halloween is on. To my surprise. Its been celebrated in Diego as well. Loads of youngsters move about in scary costumes. Quite a number of interesting chicas move about. All in groups. So nigh impossible to single out or make contact. And most again in pairs or gasy BFs. So tough going. No chance for a contact. Another visit at Taxi Be confirmed my worst fears. An even worse sausage fest than last time. Again same unfavourable picture. Loads of Vazaha. Same expired WGs. Worst selection I came across in Mada. A few gems. Yes. But again nothing compared to the selection of putes and SWs and Semis I came across in Tamatave. RIEN. And as I was still knackered I didn't feel like hanging out till at least 1 o'clock in the morning. I did check out Nouvel Hotel. But being Wednesdays the place at 2300 was totally devoid of people. But I ll check it out on the weekend. If you live here I am sure you can get laid no problem. I saw some service providers moving about. But not even they are service minded. I was waving to one across the street when I was sitting at boulangerie amicale. But. To no avail. In Kenya the chic would be on my table within 30 seconds. But here. I think they don't want to be seen as pute. Hehe. Rather as expensive girlfriend.

I moved ops to Hotel Terrasse de Voyageur. Guys. I love the place. Old but well kept. A sweeping view over Diego et environs from the rooftop terrace. Cool room on the third floor for 49.000 AR. Perfect. And in the middle of the action apparently. And almost no Vazaha in sight. Just how I like it. And what does La Buse sees with his trained eye? The area around the hotel bristles with ST hotels. Which can only mean one thing hehe. Guess what. I shall report. But first. Time for my pastis on the rooftop terrace. And after. A bundle of fresh green produce. A bundle of khat sets you back 5000 AR.

La Buse.

Who is content even without chicas.

Thanks a lot for this useful information. Do you by any chance know a good guide for Tana also?

Unfortunately, I have no such information for Tana. Good luck in Tamatave!

[Steve Ohh]

Surprisingly little info here on the Nosy Be scene. Helleville has a few watering holes and lots of energy after dark, but Amabatoloaka is the place for adult fun. Taxi Be and Billiard Bar are side-by-side, and the street scene around them is pretty wild and fun. Good vibe, but everything is more expensive than elsewhere in Mada. There are MANY ladies looking to connect, but mostly seeking overnight engagements rather than quickies. Hotels are not cheap, few short-stay options, and mostly pros prowling the street. A few stunners but they're usually already in tow with a vazaha; the rest no better in quality than in most other places like Diego and Tamatave. Sunday up the road at Tati Chris is highly recommended, more authentic and fewer vazaha, mostly Malagasy out for a good time. The are a few daytime hookers hanging out at the bar on the beach down the street from Taxi Be.

Is there anything that you can recommend after dark in Helleville. I didn't find anything there. Spend my time there only during the day.

I don't know a guide. But I can recommend hotel and restaurant des artistes. Many French tourist are there and also a lot expats having dinner there. Not only French, but the majority is French. Try to know these guys there. Some of them have experiences for many years.
