Making more money is exactly what it is about. It makes me wonder if I could have done it at Ivato but they are all too stupid or clueless about the procedure.

Expert how much for the extra 30 days?

I bought a ticket Paris - Reunion island - Tulear for next October with Air Austral. Outbound will be quit long with a 6 hour layover in Reunion and another short layover at Fort Dauphin.

Inbound will be much faster with a direct flight Tulear - Reunion and short layover in Reunion.

I found lots of intel on this forum thanks to you all. Still have one question regarding Tulear.

I know you should be careful in Mada especialy at night. I was wondering if there are taxis at night at the nightlife hotspot close to the shore?

Many reports about taking a pousse pousse or just walking but no taxis apparently.

I would choose Hotel Serena but it is about 500 m along a dark alley form the sea side.

I know from Tana you better take a taxi at night even for a short distance.

Hotel Amazone is right on the nightlife hotspot but has poorer reviews.

That would be my second choice and only for security reasons.

Yes it bizzar so I asked 3 times and took a photo of a card. At first I didn't understand but the extension is done at arrival. I bought 60 days at 40 euro.

Now about girls in August I can tell you some stunners tall, well rounded ass here.

The efficiency and the treatment in nosy be airport was very good. Super nice officer and I pass everything less then 5 minutes.

I arrived from Addis direct flight. I hate Ivato but my return flight from there as I bought multi destination ticket.

Girls are everywhere.

Thanks. I miss Mada already. Looking for flights in October.

Enjoy.

Neddy!

You mean you get the extension right away? On arrival at police counter? How much than? How stupid.

Why don't give straight 90 days. To pay more money? We will never understand the minds of african buerocrats.....

I just land at Nosy Be and 90 days visa is available at 5 je airport. The process is to get 60 days then walk to the police counter to another 30 days stamp.

I saw the price list photo on the counter for 90 days. So this ends the discussion.

Apparently you have answer for every remark, so just one request, write a full detailed report after your nice trip.

We stay tuned.

What a beautiful advice and notes from all of you. Thank you guys.

I did find a decent option for Villa:

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2914524...52b&s=VN2crCo4

This was about 290 EUR per night.

It comes with dedicated chef, gardener and a security guy. There were many other options and in terms of price, this was in top end. I did find few 5 bedroom Villas with price of around 190 eur per night. But they were directly on beach and had neighbours in very close. I do understand that driving in there is not as German highway, this exact villa showed approx 17 kilometers from Ambondrona and according to google maps 35 minute drive, it's not that bad.

For the villa, driver and guide full time you are looking at serious bucks. Not to mention feeding and watering five chicks a day (who will always be wanting seafood, not the usual crap they eat) and you may have issues with competition for your company which could get very uncomfortable. Sounds like fantasy island! If you make it come true let us know how it works out.

My budget is healthy, which is why I wanted to do this in first place. My plan was to change girls, keep the best ones and swap others, I do understand that some of them need to go home and later come back, but that is the main reason I will have driver, so I don't need to do driving part myself or even think about it.

To communicate with them you must be fluent in French at least. And they must be comfortable with your lifestyle. The typical Malgaches are conservative and believe in many Fady's.
The girls are easy to fnd. But they will become jealous very quick and you sit in the middle of a group of fighting Malgache shouting furies.

I guess the most challenging part of this would be finding a driver / guide who speaks fluent Malagasy, French and English and would be OK with all of this. This could turn ugly quickly, which is why I figured it's best to have cold hard pro's who know that I am not there to find a wife. Yet, it's fun when you get loads of attention from different girls. And experience shows, that even a proper pro could be fun in terms of sex, in some cases, even better. Get them drunk, make them feel comfortable and these girls can make your nights very special.

(Thumbs Up).

You violate a prime law. Keep a low profile.

Thanks for the feedback, Neddy! Highly appreciated.

That is the main goal! That is why I want to rent Villa far away from mongering city and just go there to pick up girls and go back to villa.

I am still 100% in on this. As all of you Mada veterans have told numerous times, it's so easy to pick up girls in Mada for next to nothing. It sounds for me still like a great idea, and when it turns out to be failure, lesson learned for me and hopefully for a next guy, who has similar plan and have chosen Madagascar to execute it. If any of you is there in September, I am happy to meet you guys.

(On a side note, if anyone doesn't know, Neos airlines flies directly to Nosy Be from Rome!

[Neddy69]

Agree.

Set aside 300 EU / day for a villa as minimum, plus 50 EU / day for the driver, plus you need a chef or maid to cook and clean. To communicate with them you must be fluent in French at least. And they must be comfortable with your lifestyle. The typical Malgaches are conservative and believe in many Fady's.

Better go the first time there, stay in a hotel, check out the scene and find some trustable local connections.

I think its just a wet dream living the life of Colombian drug baron. Well if you are one? I know of colombian drug barons in Guinea Bissau they have a life style like that. With big villas and pool full of chicas. But for a 2 months beach holiday in Mada. Wet dream. You can do that in Kenya. Rent a luxury villa comes with all ancillaries incl. Driver. No big deal. In a couple of days you have loads of hookers lounging at your pool. I would budget 5000 usd a month. Just don't take any videos or nude pics or you're going to find yourself very quickly in front of the Shanzu Law courts which will cost you another 10.000 usd to get out of the various criminal charges levied against you. Madagascar forget that.

... but you better have deep pockets. Aside from the pussy NB is the most expensive place in Mada. For the villa, driver and guide full time you are looking at serious bucks.

What you are describing is doable and since NB has the best nearby beaches it is probably your logical choice. I don't think that Majunga would fit and Toliara doesn't have a each. That said you could go up the coast to stay (not sure about villas though) and have your driver zip you into town any time you want. Infrastructure there is lacking though and you sound like the partying type so after a while you would probably be bored out of your mind.

Hello all fellow mongers,

I would start by thanking all for valuable information which I have gathered from close to 60 pages of Madagascar topic.

I have always wanted to visit Madagascar, it's been one of these exotic places to go and enjoy what they have to offer. Now, it seems that it will be my destination for September, done e-visa already, haven't booked flights. I have done Africa before, so not completely beginner about it.

Being millennial, my mongering style is different, I do not like average hostel / bungalow and do quick encounters 3 times a day with different chicas. I don't definitely judge, people are different. What I was thinking about, is to rent 3-4 bedroom Villa in Nosy Be, have a dedicated driver (so villa could be 30-40 minute drive away) and a local tour guide always in my demand, so there would be no communication / language barriers. The idea behind it is to always have 3-5 girls in the villa when I am there, I don't mean like having a orgy, but I just like company, obviously paid party girls.

As I understand about Madagascar, poverty is so high, that literally anyone can have a happy ending over there. I also understand that these girls are looking for white husbands.

Having many of them at house would be issue? Local girls drink right?

I haven't narrowed down my options in terms of city. Nosy Be seems like best for this as it is proper touristic destination, so girls travel there for work. Means they have loads of time and most are paid escorts, so no feelings involved. But I am definitely considering Tamatave, Majunga, Toliara (anything with a beach). What would you guys suggest for my destination?

What do you mean with wild atmosphere exactly? Wild girls or dangerous place to go?

I am making plans to go in October.

Its the poorer city in mada, hot, sand on the street, coconut trees cute city.

Danger? I think just from puspus at night use common sense. Ultimately no meed to write a PHD Thesis. Get there and see if you like or not.

[SouthEaster]

Don't worry. I think by wild he means far from anything else, which it is. You aren't going to see gunfights in the streets nor does it have a dangerous air such as Cambodia 20 years back. Don't do anything stupid and you'll be fine.

Toliara-Has girls, cheap everything, good budget hotels, challenging food for those who like to eat healthy. Wild atmosphere. You need to come in a colder season before whether will burn you.
