Tana - Toamasina by cotisse and back. No panganales canal etc.
Inspired ?

The road of tears.
Don't worry. There's a madman who did the trip through the zone rouge on a BICYCLE and actually lived to tell the tale: Originally Posted by TailPipe

Actually what you plan is quite feasible as long as the route you choose is not too extreme. For example Tulear Morombe or even Morondave. But in dry season of course. To import your own bike is prohibitive. But there's an excellent Chinese bike which is sold under the brand name New Mada. Brand new I believe around 1000 $ new. I am not a biker myself. But I know plenty of bikers, mostly French men. Just avoid the too extreme tracks. I know of a French man who disappeared in the brousse with his bike never to be seen again.

Motorbike in Mad
I thought I had I had seen the light this weekend. I was going to travel around Mada on a motorbike. At first it seemed like a great idea. The advantages are numerous:
1. No time constraints with flights / taxi-brousses. You can come / go whenever you like.
2. Ability to get off the beaten track and see places which you otherwise would not because of logistics.
2. Not having to backpedal to Tana every time but instead travel alternative routes around the country.
3. No suffering in crowded taxi-brousses.
4. No sweating. You are outside in open air.
Until I realised that the area I wanted to cruise in (Androy / Anosy) is largely a 'zone rouge' meaning they are part of the 1/3 of the country where there is near no government presence / authority and where Dahalo rustlers roam the countryside. The chances of us meeting them in the cities we visit are near zero but we tend to forget they are there.
Also there is a serious famine in the south now in the area between Tulear and Fort Dauphin. People are dying.

Information
If you want information buy the Bradt and work through the WHOLE Madagascar subforum. Like I did. Then book a flight and go there. Spend 10.000 USD. Then you will on a par with the information and contacts I have. Why should I share everything for free. Pay me 100 $ an hour than you save yourself a couple of 1000 bucks.

This forum is not for lazy bums, who expect to get information which cost me 10 of thousands of dollars to obtain to be handed on a silver platter. I know how to get a work permit and a residence permit. If you don't follow the exact procedure you'll never get it. And no. That's not the official way. But if you read every post of mine very careful you'll eventually find it.
So start digging in the forum. Yes. Madagascar. You have to earn it to live there.

Suffering
Of course. LOL. But you'll suffer. Read some old travel accounts. When the French invaded in 1895: Originally Posted by Tinte

The island is best suited to pirates, fugitives, ex legionnaires, soldiers of fortune, outlaws. You'll feel like you're in paradise. Pussies stay at home.

Work??
Better stay at home in front of your TV and watch National Geographic. It's safe there. I see already you have ZERO clue. Working in Mada? As what? Pousse pousse driver? Originally Posted by Member#2001

I have heard that the whole country is not raining in November, through January. Certain parts of the country are dry. Is mada one of those.
Countries where you need a return flight out. I heard there was an app for making fake reservations. Can someone please inform me on this? I am really anxious to to. Might even look for work there. Guess its time to start learning French.
