For sure the girls from LE Glacier appreciate a Ice cream at Gastro Pizza or food and drinks at their own choice, it will certainly not ruin your budget.

Treat your self for a sweet on the Terrasse at LE Colbert, especially in the evening. I could not enjoy without a girl in my company. I guess for some girls it will be a nice lifetime experience, just as for me too.

On the other hand, some are so desperate in need of cash, they just want to skip that all. I noticed also that some girls will eat just a little bit and will rather take some food home for the family. Order a additional portion.

But for gods sake keep the pirate flag up.

Hi Tinte,

Sorry but:

What do you mean with " pirate flag up " ?

Gentil Homme. That's the way it is respect these girls. Don't demean them.

La Buse.

Do you miss wasteland Europe?

Gone are the glory days of Sir Pokeris with his action camera and his reports, inside views of mada pussy. Old novels do certainly not tell you anything about the feelings of girls in front of cameras.

As for my limited expedience, what is important to the girls on the ground is your cash. If you want to touch her with empathy, treat her additionally with food in a restaurant.

Regarding picture taking, they liked it and wanted to see the picture with eager them self. They rather saw it as a compliment when I ask for it.

Besides, when I did have a large mirror in my room they enjoyed watching being fucked or posed nude in front of it.

Eventually, I gave up in trying to figure out how the girls work it out with their culture.

Yes Sir she is. I would like sooo much to share some pictures, but alas, I respect her anonymity.

The flight with Ethiopian from Europe saves you around 200 EUR, a lot of cash in Mada. Besides you arrive midday instead of midnight.

True for my first time in Mada last year. But in March 2024, don't ask me why, Ethiopian airline was way more expensive than the direct flight Air France.

Maybe there was a discount, don't know. It was a surprise for me too.

[NamasteParis]

Son of a *****! This chick must have been phenomenal.

I read your report twice and I don't see your third flight. What other destination did you go to besides Tulear and Tamatave?

Third flight was Tamatave-Tana return ticket for my model GF, to stay together till my departure from Tana.

[Tinte]

Direct Air France return trip flight to Tana: 1,100 in economy with emergency exit seat selection for more room.

Good report. How it really is. If you really want to suffer take Taxi Brousse from Tana to Ankify. Another pro tip. The best 2 months that means the least average rainfall to visit Tamatave October and November. Very pleasant. And the girls are my favorite tribe. Betsimisaraka. Also note that's an El Nino year. So far not a single major Cyclone. Very unusual.

La Buse.

Who'll soon return forever to settle in Isle Rouge.

Yep, my model GF is Bitsimisaraka from Toamasina. Vezo girls from Tulear area are also very nice, with small nose and elegant face (pulo / peul / fulani type). Merinas (asian type with straight long hair) have bad reputation in Mada: poor hygiene, they all say. I don't know, I didn't try...
Regarding the weather, I was lucky : only 3-4 days with rain less than 2-3 hours long.

[Amadeuss]

Back from 24 days in Mada.

Tana, Tulear, Tamatave.
I'm french, so interactions were easy.

.

Some of your not so positive experiences on this trip may be the result of a single bad luck. But in general: your statements on people and costs are spot on! And the headline regarding french language advantage: very true.

For those waiting for ass photos, stories about my favorite positions, and if my girlfriend got wet when I fingered her, I'll save you some time: you can stop reading. LOL.

Oddly, this direct flight was cheaper than all the others with a stopover, so look at Air France first, then compare.
Generally speaking, Tinder and Badoo can make wonders. Take a paid subscription for certain advantages. You can match and meet 'good' girls, who work, and who never go out. Well, that's my nirvana anyway. I don't travel to fuck a different bitc* every night.
On Tinder, my travelmate picked up a business company hostess who had never gone out in the evening in Tana in 4 years! A real gem.
For those who just want to get on board and fuck, there's no need to worry, go to Taxi Be every evening and that's it! LOL.
Without fueling the price controversy, know that the minimum wage in Mada is 200 K AR.
Always remember this figure when you put your hand in your pocket: it is not necessarily helping to give a monthly wage for one night. It is rather encouraging the girl who works hard 6 days a week to resign, and prostitute to earn the same in a day or two.
Just think about it..

TANA.
Still just as dirty, teeming, and miserable. Painful at first, but you have to know how to say NO, and we leave you alone. Until the next 20 meters further on.
We repeat: in Tana, always take a taxi after dark, even to travel 50 meters. No need to risk your life for $3.
Taxi prices: per day between 3 K and 10 K depending on the distance. Double after 10:30 pm.
Airport-Tana taxi: 70 K during the day, 80 K at night.
Taxi in Tana: Solofo, always reliable, day and night. No hassle, kind, drives very well, and always punctual (even in advance). If 4 people or more with suitcases, he also has a super van: 100 K.
Solofo: +261340413232.
Things to do in Tana: Lemur's park one hour from Tana, photography museum, and the castle.
Where to go out: Taxi Be, all the Tana pros are there. Then the Red, or the Manson to end the night. Ask Marco to show you his snake: you will end up with a beautiful photo with a big boa on your shoulders, and all the girls screaming LOL.
Where to eat: at the Sakamanga restaurant, at the Buffet du Jardin, at the Irish Pub, at Nerone (excellent Italian). AVOID: La Balancoire, where my friend and I had a gastro for 1 week, 30 minutes after eating the same dish.
Where to sleep: Hotel LE Pousse Pousse. If you are 2 buddies, ask for the apartment with two separate bedrooms and a double bed in each on the 2nd floor (3-4 nights minimum and 150 deposit). Be careful, in this apartment, the mattresses are extra firm: back pain when waking up for sensitive people. Which is not the case in the deluxe rooms with city view on the 6th floor, very very good (603 or 605,150 K / night).
Price for a FL: 50 K / night + 10 K for the taxi, or 60 K. With a pro in Tana, you can announce the price before to clarify things, but this price has never been disputed with me. Rather thanked with a smile.
In Tana, you can feel the girls' stress to survive. Everywhere else, life seems much cooler, and the joy of living is omnipresent, despite poverty. I can easily imagine that things are far from pink in Mada, but that's my feeling while traveling on the island.

TULEAR: 1 week.
Return flight Tana-Tulear by plane; duration 2 hours; 1800 K return trip.
The city where the weather is always sunny!
Provincial town by the sea. The town beach is not great.
No insecurity here: you can walk at night, no thefts. It's a big change from Tana!
Airport-City taxi: 20 K.
Using cycle rickshaws: between 1 K and 2 K per person.
Things to do in Tulear: nothing to do in the town. You have to get out of the city and go see the sacred cave of Sarodrano, and go see the beautiful beaches in Ifaty or Manguily (bungalows at Daniel's: 50 K / night).
Go to Anakao with the Anakao Express, and stay at Peter Pan. Great hotel, bungalows on the very clean beach, very good cuisine, the village children play with you in the sea: only smiles and happiness!
Where to go out: Rose Noire (you will probably be the only 'white' people), or Safari.
Where to eat: LE Boeuf, Oasis Caf, LE Jardin, Marina Blue.
Where to sleep: Hotel La Batisse: great! 122 K / night for a beautiful room with a huge bathroom, and balcony overlooking the restaurant's garden. Very clean, attentive staff, good food, quiet.
I visited the other hotels: Serena, Amazone and LE Recif, but meh.
Girls: a lot less professional than in Tana, here the girls work, and complete the month by treating themselves to an adventure here and there. At Rose Noire for example, the majority of girls will not approach 'the white guy' for fear of being labeled "whor*" by the whole town.
I caught two Vezo: a very cute restaurant waitress, and a girl I met at the market.
The two didn't ask for anything. I gave 30 K on principle, and they gave me their most beautiful smile. They still call me, just by kindness.

TAMATAVE: 10 days.
Return flight Tana-Tamatave by plane: duration 1 hour; 1010 K return.
The city where there are 2 seasons: the rainy season, and the season when it rains! LOL.
Provincial town by the sea. The town beach is not great.
No insecurity here: you can walk at night, no thefts. But here we kill! Said my girlfriend. Very reassuring! LOL.
Airport-City taxi: 60 K.
Use cycle rickshaws or tuktuks: between 1 K and 2 K per person.
Things to do in Tamatave: nothing to do in the town.
Impressive number of French retirees, meeting every day for chatting, while fiddling with a cutie seat nearby.
In Tamatave I met a well-known singer-model. We stayed together for a week until my last hour in Tana.
So I can't say anything bad about Tamatave because I met the woman of my life there (LOL), but frankly, I won't go back there.
We went to Foulpointe for 3 days at the Manda Beach Hotel (4 x4 obligatory, 300 K one way, duration 3 h30 for 60 km, that gives you an idea of the state of the road). Bad hotel. You need a cap to swim in the pool, no shoes while the pool deck is 300 degrees in the sun, poor and lazy service. We are harassed as soon as we set foot on the beach.
In short, what is supposed to be one of the most beautiful beaches and one of the best hotels in the region turned out to be very disappointing, compared to Tulear or Nosy Be.
I should mention also the cruise on the Pangalane canal. You can do a return trip in one day, but it is recommended to do a 3-day excursion instead, in order to go far enough to remote and authentic villages. Imperative: arrive very early for boarding (6 am), to see the boats with the family living on them, etc.
As for Foulpointe, big disappointment compared to Ifaty, Manguily, Anakao, Nosy Ve, Nosy Be, Nosy Iranja, Nosy Sakatia,. So I will not return to Tamatave. But this is purely subjective! And what's more, to get there, it's 3 h30 of 4 x4 at 10 km / h with a bump or a bowl every 5 seconds: exhausting.
Where to go out: Taxi Be every evening (pros), on weekends: Pandora (pros), Queens (pros) and Neptune (the only place where non-pro girls go out).
Where to eat: La Terrasse, LE Barco (adjoining the Terrace, same owner and same kitchen, but La Terrasse is on the whor* side, while el barco: not a single one), l'Affiche, LE Verre Soi, O'Gagneur. Club Nautique: meh.
Where to stay: Hotel La Veranda: great! 135 K / night. Very clean, attentive staff, good food, quiet. Ideally located 2 minutes walk from La Terrasse, LE Barco, l'Affiche, Taxi Be, and a BMOI ATM.
I went to visit the Ocean 501 hotel: disapointing beach, and it's far from the center. So to avoid.
Girls: More pros than in Tulear, but it remains provincial. Quite a few come down from the village for the weekend to make a little money for the family. The Taxi Be and the Terrasse should be enough to find your favorite every evening. The girls are indeed beautiful here, and adorable.
Before meeting my model GF, I had picked up a semi-pro at La Terrasse: an adorable village girl, calm, but volcanic in bed! Very happy with the night, I gave her 50 K and she was delighted. Prices here are the same as in Tulear: 30 K-40 K / night.

Tsaradia: the agencies on site are very efficient: a ticket purchased or modified in 10 minutes, with a smile.
All domestic flights (Tamatave and Tulear) were punctual, and even one flight left 30 minutes early!
So I have no complaints about Tsaradia this time.
Good to know: for 65 K you can reserve access to the LOUNGE in Tana (and only in Tana). It is recommended: unlimited buffet and drinks, and a quiet, air-conditioned setting.

Food: apart from La Balancoire incident in Tana, we eat very well in Mada. Even in restaurants along the beach ('gargottes' the grilled fish, lobsters (at 30 K), sea urchins, etc. Are tasty and we have never been sick.

Cost of living: in 24 days, with 3 Tsaradia round trips, it cost me 82 euros/ day, all inclusive (taxis, restaurants, hotels, outings, excursions, girls, planes,.). I never deprived myself, and took advantage of the good restaurants in each place, cocktails and 2-3 clubs / night in town.
Most of the time, I was accompanied, so it's almost a cost for two!

Mada therefore remains at the top of the list for value for money in a French-speaking country. Unbeatable on the planet!
With the right attitude and respect, this stay proved to me that it is possible to find 'quite easily' a hostess to die for, and a model, both master study level with very good manners. They both canceled their plans or asked for time off, and the four of us with my buddy had a dream week.
I have traveled a lot in my life, and I can say that the places where these dreams are allowed can be counted on the fingers of one hand (without being Brad Pitt of course) LOL.

[Tinte]

Great experience, very different of what I expected.

After my arrival I contacted the girl I visited at home. She offered my to stay at her place wich I did.

100 K all inclusive per day LOL, I am exhausted.

They are completely fucked up.
