At Toamasina I can suggest for daytime --if you brave and not the typical package tourist. Take a pushpush (1000 MGA) to Station Bus Cotisse. Its a dirty area, but not unsafe at daytime. Walk around and you will find that all the cafee's and restos have girls waiting there for a ST between 5000 to 10.000 before passengers take the long bus trip. Rooms in the back.

Nice one!! Pity I didn't know about this on my last visit to tamatave its looks like adventurous place.

I can't believe there's someone here who actually did that. That place is disgusting. You could just as easily proposition any clean looking female walking around outside or waiting for her bus or van.

Hi all,

I'll visit Mada by cruise ship. We have 3 ports: Nosy Be, Diego Suarez and Toamasina. But all of them daytime only. What is the best way to get a girl for a couple hours?

Opinions on girls, cost, best place to visit are highly subjective. For example one will say that Manson is a paradise for girls or this city has nothing to do while others will strongly disagree. Some important Tips was giving by the member but you need to read between the lines to recognise their importance.

Thanks anyway for this long check list, and for your time.

That's why also I do this 1st trip in 50/50 organized / alone, more than all advice from forums, being on the ground is the only way to create experience. Even if all readings are full of useful info.

Some important Tips was giving by the member but you need to read between the lines to recognise their importance.

1. Plan for wheather-Cold, Rain etc. I use wikipedia Temp / Rain chart. Also use real time apps as the whether statistics are no longer that accurate.

2. When taking taxi sit on the back, lock the doors and close all windows. Especially from the airport or to "cotisse transport" .

3. Be careful from pickpocket especially Tana Downtown, cotisse etc.

4. I would strongly suggest to combine online dating with Traditional type of mongering. Such as Afro, Badoo etc.

5. In the south specifically Morondava or Mahajunga (North West) be careful where you eat.

6. Take your time-sometimes you see no girls but there are there they will appear randomly and unexpectedly so react fast and hit hard. If you have time go to hotels ask for.

Rooms and see the girls and stuff of the hotel. Go to restaurants, shops etc. (be careful with Markets of big cities.) . Hang around supermarkets such as Score or Shoprite.

As many girls inside Tana supermarkets.

7. Use you mobile camera with GPS Tagging.

8. Research hotels, clubs, restaurants etc using google Maps and Google reviews.

9. Bring some nice gifts such as sexy cloths as the non-pro will love them.

10. Time is everything in Mada, more time in Mada will translate into more girls as the nature of Mada Nonpro is rand occurrence. So plan your holiday length accordingly.

11. Girls in Mada are addicted to selfies and mobile phone, selfi poles photos etc. If you bring android phone you will get any girl for longer time particularly around sambava Anthalaha.

Hi all,

I read these posts about Mada since long time, so Iif you have some last advises for Morondava hotels, I noticed "chez Maggie", and also Tulear or Mangily / Ifaty, I will take
See you.

You can read the forum for 10 years or one minute the benefit you will gain is nearly zero. Only money mongering skills. Everything you read here will be not relevant while on the ground. Good luck and keep reading.

I will arrive in Tana on the 18th of August, for an organized trip of 10 days along the Tsihiribina river up to Morondava. Then starting on 26 August I will travel alone, may be 1 day more in Morondava and after I plan to join TulAR by ground transport. EIther via Tana again, or if possible via Fiana more directly. Then I plan to stay some days in TulAR and above toward Ifaty, Mangily. Not sure of where is Mangily, but my understanding is that its located around Ifaty?
And on the 8th of Sep I have a flight to Tana and back to France.

Hi all,

My travel is coming now quite close, I read these posts about Mada since long time, so I already have got many advice about locations, prices, etc. From many of you, Thanks also to Brasil for taxi guy coordinates, if you have some last advises for Morondava hotels, I noticed "chez Maggie", and also Tulear or Mangily / Ifaty, I will take them with great pleasure.

If I can meet some of you there, that would be great too, may be a french speaking guy can help. Or at least pay a beer.

See you.

Hey Amadeuss

If you don't mind can you tell me what country you applied for your e visa from? I am currently in Canada and for some reason nothing on the home page is active. Clicking on Apply or register does nothing. Or am I missing something obvious? This could potentially save me an hour in the immigration line. Thanks for any feedback.

But you won't save much time. Meanwhile its reasonable well organised.

I'm considering a first trip to Madagascar.

I need to go somewhere where I can post on Facebook lots of pictures of me diving or on the beach to give a plausible reason why I am there. Nose Be seems like the best place for me to go.

My only concern is that it seems to be dominated by French and Italian speaking tourists. As I am an English only speaker will I be able to communicate my requirements and prices with the girls online and in the clubs / beaches?

Many girls on AfricaIntroductions list some English but they are all at the larger cities, not the beachside towns.

Are there any other areas that have diving and girls readily available?

Many thanks.

Try Diego Suarez in the north. Also called Antsiranana. Has Ramena Beach nearby, and you can take a boat trip for the day to the Emerald sea. Decent selection of girls in that town too.

I found that some of the girls in Madagascar had pretty poor French (and no English). I suppose if you learn all the numbers and how to say "how much" in French then that is all you need.

I speakFfrench at a basic level but I can run a conversation well. I never negotiate price in Mada and let me give few examples of my last trip 6 month ago. Anthalaha girl her French was at basic level as I can speak way better. Took her to a photo shoot on the beach then eating some crap soup as this is what I found. Then 2 hour sex and another photo session in room. When she go she ask some money and gave her 7 K then she was asking 10 K. Anyway she came every day.

Sambava girl, actually from a village 2 hours north of Sambava. Met her and her mother on weekend at the Sambava beach. She speak nice French and look city girl never asked nothing but cost me the most as I felt serious about her and already saw the entire family few times. No negotiation, she dream to get married with Vhazza.

Tana-one girl from Badoo they are semi pro but when you look deep into it there is an option for seriousness with SOME. Not all. One girl asked me next day 40 K after full day and night. Why to negotiate on such a ridiculous amount of money. 40 K is a joke.

Tana hotel stuff- after one day she ask to give something without mentioning the amount. Gave her 30 K. Was happy. The reason why I like Tana is that some girls are white as this hotel stuff.

You have good tactic mate! I was negotiating the price just with pros at glacier, mansoon at antananarivo and at quenns and la terrasse at tamatave. If I find girls at dating sites or at street I just give them 20000-30000 ariary for short time or 40000-50000 ariary for all night and they was happy and no complain.

Not many girls speaking english at madagascar, but it wasnt problem for me to negotiate the prices with them before and make some chat.

True!

English is not my mother tongue. But I did learn it. So I did French. So I did BahasaIndonesia. Why you english-focused guys can't learn another language? At least make an effort by learning say some 100 words and simple sentences. Otherwise go there as guided group tourist only but forget about our hobby then.

I gave up becasue of that reason on mongering in Brazil or even in Ukraine. Only hardened Pro's will speak some english. But not the sweet country girls. That refers to Mada also.

Yes I agree with you. If you speak even just little bit same language as girls in any country you will have better chance to find best girls and have chemistry.

Other place to go for beaches is Sainte-Marie island is more quiet than nosy be, but still have girls and some nightlife.its hard to find good english speaking girls at madagascar( at least it was for me before)
