Madagascar

[Amadeuss]

Finally someone took the plunge and went for it. Good on Amadeuss, one of the boards most savvy Mada mongers. Now that we know NIO 400 doesn't know what he is talking about perhaps we can get some real info. I will go first! Do you know if they have reinstituted the 3 month VOA? And what is the new airport like, particularly as regards immigration?

Myself I think it will be next June or so before I take the plunge so will have to live vicariously through posters who go before that. The flight logistics and costs from western Canada remain prohibitive.

Hope you have a good time! (Haha I know you will).

I was quick to book one of the first tickets when the opening announcement was made public. Its was about 700. -EU, whereas at the moment ticket prices are 4000. -EU rtn, due to the high numbers of Malgache travelling. Not tourists. You still must go through the old airport. The new one is not open yet. Immigration took time to get tested and then 2 days quarantine. Thats all. Mr Nio shall stop writing if he don't have the facts.

In Mada basically no big change. People make their living. All is open. Curfew at midnight but that's not really a problem. If you speak French and are a gentlemen you will find enough sweet girls to accompany you. I never did sleep alone. But also did I keep away from the cougars in the discos: they are trying to make up for the loss they had. 100.000 is the typical starting offer and some are brave to ask for 100. -Euro -- get lost baby! There are enough girls happy with 30 or 40.000.

Domestic flights are working however less frequent and more expensive then 2 years ago. Taxi brousse are full as usual. The few good hotels in Tana are quite booked due to the 2 day quarantine where all passengers have to stay. In the other cities like Tamatave, Mahjunga, Fianar, Tulear local life goes on as usual.

On departure back to France you must now show a negative test: Antigen or PCR. Whether vaccinated or not.

But as Neddy said: who knows how long it will remain open again? In June 2022 a total different situation can appear.

I was in nosy be during the first opening (October 2020) and it was a very good trip, hot and wet.

Don't get too excited. COVID makes a comeback. 470 cases in Analamanga. I expect the flights to France to stop soon. Some say Air France guarantees flights to Paris till Mid January 22. But no problems. If you're newly minted Bitcoin millionaire or if your name is Tom Cruise you can enjoy unlimited pussy there. If you have sufficient funds. You just wait until you get a flight out or charter a private jet and apply to Andry to give you a special landing permit. LOL.

La Buse.

Just don't get sick there. You might die...

Mada never opened since start of pandemic. Its a fake opening. Mada is locked.

I am in Mada since 10th Nov. Nothing closed. No restrictions in pubs, hotels or restaurants. Only curfew on midnight.

Hi Amadeuss,

Congratulations with your successful trip! I envy you. Please tell us what were / are the complications before and during your trip and upon arrival, if any, Corona-related or otherwise?

Only a question of time until Mada closes down again.

Anyone else experiencing the last 8 days of posts having disappeared? My Mada page stops at Nov 21, 2021. Strange.

The topic was probably too hot. And anyway. Not really monger related.

La Buse.

Other news. Flights from Mauritius were stopped already. Only a question of time until Mada closes down again.

[Tinte]

The topic must have been Covid or some other sickmaking stuff.

Just finished watching a very old French documentary on male tourism in Madagascar. Didn't realise they have a law criminalising p4p if you are a foreigner. A couple of the guys actually got convicted and sent to the nick (because there was a French crew filming the proceedings). Another one got a 5 yr sentence because he had taken some nude pics of a girl without her consent. I doubt these laws often get enforced but it does show you have to thread carefully. Even in paradise.

That law is long time defunct. Ravalomanana introduced it. He wanted to stamp out prostitution. A joke in a country like Madagascar, where every half way decent looking girl is in the business. You can shag your ass off perfectly legal as long as long as it chica is 18 years or older. I know that documentary. Some useless french filmmakers made a documentary about Nosy Be sex trade. Some mostly French were at the wrong time at the wrong place. In the end some money changed hands. As far as I recall nobody went to prison except for a few days. Otherwise the whole male population of Madagascar would languish in jail. BS.

La Buse.

Hilarious that article... Sinister trade. I laugh my head off. Even that evil forum ISG is mentioned... And Southeaster even.....

Yes, but you have to act carefully in Madagascar. Especially at night. There is serious risk of getting robbed at knife point in Antananarivo at night if you walk too long, I had experienced this by myself so its not a joke.

True. Madagascar or any country in Africa is simply not on the map for mongers from the US. Some popular American YouTubers I follow who were based in Thailand and the Philippines moved to countries where there are no government lockdown. Not one of them chose Tanzania. They left for Mexico, DRP and Columbia and one of them for Nicaragua. You mention any African country to them and the comment section goes bizarre about how "They will be robbed at knife point. ".

[AttilaTheHun]

Ask the embassy? Malgache?? Joke of the day. They're absolutely useless. The only competent advice (maybe) french consulate Facebook page in Tana. To get stuck in paradise. No problem. As long as you're not running out of money. Free Visa extension already since 18 months.

Madagascar is thankfully so remote it's not suited for weekend warriors from the US eastern seaboard or Thai Sex tourists. They will be robbed at knife point. LOL.

I can smell it - Mada is a beast, the seasoned Mada guys know it just to well. LOL.
