Madagascar

What exactly did you do on your previous 2 visits? I don't want to sound too harsh but you seem somewhat clueless as to the girls situation. Freelancers are all over Glacier and several other venues in town and as for STDs, you never know until after the deed but I have never gotten one from a Mada girl and I don't do raincoats.

On my two previous trips I was with my then Mada GF. So I never did experience any FLs firsthand. I saw them milling about here and there but never indulged. This time I am unaccompanied and am just curious what to expect. As always, I am thankful FR nay information about this and that.

Thanks for your reply.

All flights were full. But I appreciated seeing the country and had a good experience.

Are there any lookers at Glacier?

Well I was with my GF at the time so 500 wasnt too bad.

I am at Tana! Like to meet someone from the forum to share experiences and for a beer.

Usually I stayed few days at Tana but this time I would like to explore the city.

Any advices what to do on daylight? Billards.

Can also contact me in private.

Thanks.

I will be at Glacier on the 15th of and love to meet up for a beer. I need wingman. Feel free to PM me.

Glacier hotel? Then you won't be far from glacier bar. There are lot of beggars in that area, be careful about that. Prices starts from 30.000, 40.000 ariary. You can also check the girls standing at night near Air Madagascar office.

Thank you very much for your quick response. I am sorry I did not write but I had problems uploading a response on my old computer.

This will be my third visit to Madagascar.

I am wondering about the FLs, especially their STD status? And what kind of service do they provide?

I know I need to be careful walking around in downtown. Once I was shook up by local police. Does this still happen in Tana?

I wish you well and thank you again.

Feel free to PM me.

We are four people arriving late, 23.25, the 5th of November in Antananarivo. I have search for airporttaxi but have not found. How much will it cost for a taxi to downtown? Will it be enough with one taxi? Four people with luggage. Anyone knows a private driver interested in picking us up?

No need for that. Airport Taxi is well organized. They will approach you and wear official badges. It's 70 k are fixed price to any location in Tana. But they're smaller cars. 4 people with luggage might be tight. You might need 2.

La Buse.

Fihavanana service.

Tana. Tulear 190 000 A in Cotisse premium style. If they offer also stop over in places like Antsirabe, Fiaranantsoa the perfect alternative to taxi brusse.

Hi all, I will be in Tana in mid November and staying at the Glacier. I was hoping that one of you guys would have an update on what I can expect, prices for FLs and so on like taking them back to your room w / o any hassle. Are there any other similar venues in the center of town? I have not been back since before covid.

Thanks.

Not many. Most are plain, chubby or older veterans of the scene. It is entirely a matter of luck and timing that you will find a very attractive one. That said if you go round often enough you will find something doable once in a while. Good luck.

400-500 bucks? WTF why wouldn't you just fly? For that money at current Tsaradia prices you could do a round trip ticket.

And don't worry about the girls in Glacier being no hassle to take to your room. The real hassle is getting the mutts you don't want to stop pestering you!

I agree with what has been said about the miserable state of the roads. Avoid the taxi brousse. There are frequent night time hold ups. Taking a private taxi is an alternative but is not cheap. Going from Tana to Toliara for example will run you about $400-500. But you can break journey halfway and stay in a hotel for about 50,000 ariara.

In 2018 I did the road from Tana to Toliara with Cotisse up to Fiana and then with a private car which cost me about 700.000 Ariary, so about 165€, with a stop for 2 nights and one day spent in isalo for a trek in the area, but the whole cost with hotels, visits, etc. Was about 1300000,300 €.

But was in 2018.
