Madagascar

[Curry]

Ironically enough , I have wanted to go to madagascar for some time but nobody would post info. Now there is a great deal posted. Someone please tell me where I can find an inexpensive ticket from the states(if one exist) and where I can find good housing for a 20 day stay in tana or maybe some of the othewr cities. How much is food dand drink daily. And of course, how much should I plan to budget for lady action per day. 10-15 seems to be the going rate but I just like to be sure. This is Africa so if I could spend no more than 20 a day for a dwelling that would be great. I dont want to comprimise in substandard living though so if need be i will of course pay more.

My second visit to Madagascar was as nice as my first. I saw many places and had fun everywhere. Even with fair knowledge of the french language I found many possibilities to get in contact with a lot of girls. I visited a club/dicotheque only twice.

In Tulear I enjoyed the "Mozambique", quite close to my Hotel "Plaza" (not a good choice: so it is a nice location, it's overpriced and I had several other small guests=fleas). The Mozambique is a pleasant place - good choice of different types of girls and good music. I found this nice girl who accompanied me for the next days.

I proposed to go to a beach the next day. We took a taxi (150.000 FMG for 35 km and 5 hours) and found something like a paradies: a fine restaurant at the beach with a excellent fish-filet. After that we went to the beach and for the whole time we were the only persons enjoying the fantastic atmosphere...... there are many possibilities to enjoy life

This is the girl, very sexy with a special sense for moving the hips (not only while dancing)

Hi,

I am leaving today to Mada. I will be there for 3 weeks - one of which will be back-country tracking. Anybody there as well? (just by the way: I do not speak french - only English, German and Japanese).

tana- summer of 2004

i spent most of the summer in madagascar, with a cumulative 2-3 weeks in the capitol tana (antananrivo). extraordinary opportunities for mongering, especially if you speak just a little french or a few words of malagasy. the tana bar girls are seeing enough english-speaking tourists these days to know a couple of english phrases too. prostitution is loosely monitored by the gov’t; their main focus is to the eradicate ****s among the sexual tourists. i think the women are beautiful – ranging from indonesian to sub-saharan african in appearance. some french, arabic and “karana” (indo-pakistani) genes in the mix too.

the indoor/outdoor 24-hr bar-restaurant le buffet (au jardin) at the top of the steps in the haute ville is a must stop for daytime and evening hook-ups. some girls have a room somewhere nearby or know of hot-sheet hotels (pretty basic and a little scary, to be honest). many of them like to be pretend to be girlfriends but others are serious pros. quality ranges from hideous to breath-taking. around 10pm it empties out as the gals head to the dance clubs: caveau, indra, the hilton, among others. the bar in front of the colbert hotel near le buffet is also a good place to find a wide assortment of ladies. i picked up a sweetheart, who spoke to me in english as i drank a thb (three horses beer—not bad); she offered massage. long straight black hair, a melange of asian and african features. we made a rendezvous for her to join me at my studio apartment on the rue de la independence. ladies must deposit their identity cards at hotels with decent security. magnificent bbjj (the norm); bring your own condoms (hiv is low but present)! i naively overpaid her -- $50 (that should turn out to be the normal max for a night of no-holes barred fun). the bar at the hotel glacier (at the bottom of the aforementioned steps) has action almost all the time, and has great live music most evenings. the girls at club indra (in the tsaralalana district) are less elegant and earthier; i love it there. took two sweeties home with me the night before i left. they were thrilled with $25 each, some pics i took of them with a polaroid, and some small gifts (kadoy kely) of old clothes and medicines. it pays to be nice – they are ghastly poor for the most part. sometimes you get lucky beyond your wildest dreams – they were unjaded and so much fun together. i also discovered a sweet young thing at caveau one evening – very light skinned, perhaps with some karana genes. she got a little too drunk, but sure was fun to bang (mediocre hummer).

there are also many street-walkers in tana, especially near the indra and in tsaralalana. any taxi can help you cruise. tremendous variety and values, but even poorer than bar girls and often uneducated. oral and intercourse for as little as $6-10. they will permit almost anything, but i would keep it wrapped if i were you. tried one nearer my place on a lark one drunken night; she showered and was presentable – great ½ & ½ with a cim finish. asked for $6, gave her $10 (the exchange rate was about 10,000 fmgs to the dollar).

police can be an occasional pain, looking for petty bribes late at night, but it’s almost random. always carry id and perhaps a few extra dollars for a donation (~$10) if you get hassled at a roadblock (even in a taxi sometimes). do not pick up a minor. befriend some malagasy. they are mostly gentle, wonderful people, and love to act as “guides” for vahazas (for a small fee, of course).

foreigners (vahaza) will be propositioned frequently, but usually in a nonaggressive way. take a few days to get your bearings, and you’ll be happy with the selection in tana.

bon chance! (p.s., beautiful women in mahajanga, toliary, and morondava too – but tana has the most variety in my experience).

Dear Marconista,

You are right. Arab merchants were active all along the eastern African coast. This influence is old (before the arrival of Europeans in this area during the XVI century) as you can see in Zanzibar, Comores or in Somalia. The region where the Arabo-muslim influence is the greatest is the NorthWest of Madagascar (between Majunga and Diego). You can find a lot of muslims (and some mixed girls) for example in Nosy Be. Muslim girls are generally reluctant to give blow jobs but you can fuck their asses. Your memories about Tamatave nights are interesting. This is allways the case. Many hookers for sailors or tourists. The price for one night is between 50 000 fmg and 100 000 fmg (5 to 10 USD). The problem of Tamatave from my point of view is the climate (humid, rainy, source of malaria). I prefer Diego.

[Marconista]

Poupard!

I was frequently in Tamatave (and in other ports) as a sailor back in the 1970'ies, and I do remember well that there were some beautiful girls working in the casino of the hotel close to the beach (not to far away from the port).

I was told that they were a mix of malagash and arabs, and they originated from the northern part of Madagaskar. Saying they were beautiful, means that they were much taller, a lighter skin-color and much more beautiful than the natives themselves.

Am I wrong in saying that they were mixed with arabs?

It brings back good memories thinking about Madagaskar and the easiness of getting girls there. It was my "first" pussy-heaven, and when reading your posts, it looks like there has not been any changes since the old days when I visited once a month, staying for about a week or two at the time, visiting various ports that I no longer remember the names of.

PS: I never tried to get hooked up with these ladies, as I used to have my regular girl in Tamatave (She was btw married to a scandinavian seafarer, and when he was away, she picked up guys for fun in the bars. I never paid her for the services, only paid for our nights out, since she had a good sponsor already in her husband ).

Dear GreenFun,

Indian or Paki girls are named in Madagascar "Karan". The karan communauty is among the richest ethnie of Madagascar and are very conservative consequently you will find less *****s in this communauty than in black communauty. If you divide the malgache people in several ethnies, the hierarchy in term of wealth in the following:

- Zanatan (Whites born in Madagascar with european origin)
- Karan (Indo-paki generally muslims)
- Chinese (imported by frenchs for the construction of railways)
- Highlands people (indonesian origin like Merina)
- Coast people (côtiers) which have african origins

The number of *****s by ethnies is exactly the opposite. Never seen a zanatan *****, few karan but a lot of "côtières".

You will find more karan or merina in a disco like "Le Caveau" and more "côtières" in Le Glacier or Indra. Some people told me that black girls are not allowed to enter in "Le Caveau". I have been there one time but it was not so easy to catch a girl (many girls there are from rich local families and do not care about sexual tourists).

Another possibilty is to speak with karan people (for example the owners of hotel ragouly). They have telephone numbers of indian "working" girls but the price is much more expansive than for black girls. I have never tried.

Good luck

[Green Fun]

I am in Tana. Had a good time with Sylla. She is half chinese operating out of Pandora. Gave a good BBJ and had a very tight pussy making two session I had much shorter. She climaxed the second time with loud moans and was a delight to watch. Travelling out for two days on work. I need some contacts of Paki or Indian girls in Tana or tamatave or majunga. We see plenty of them otherwise but are absent from street or pick up joints. Learned that good number of these girls are available through contacts which I have none. These girls, especially muslims are damn horny. Need some help to locate the contacts. Please post or PM.

Member #2001,

The exchange rate that you find is for MGA (Madagascar Ariary).
The MGA is the new currency that will replace the FMG (Franc Malgache). Actually you will find both currencies in Madagascar and 1 MGA it corresponds to 5 FMG:
(1 USD = 2020 MGA = 10100 FMG)

Another link with exchange rates provided from a local bank:

Dear member Poupard2000,

Thank you very much for your kind assist!

I hope, that my travelplans will turn out well and can give a report to this forum!

[Poupard2000]

To answer to a personal e mail about exchange rate:

Currently one euro is at 12 800 fmg this mean little bit more than 10 000 fmg for one USD.

Good travel

[Poupard2000]

Dear member 1747,

Nosy Be is a good destination although I would prefer (on a strict girls point of view) Diego Suarez. The best place for holidays is Ambatoaloaka (pronounced Ambatoolook) where most of the hotels are guest friendly (the only one I have seen reluctant to guests was Gérard & Francine).

You can go to the Coucher de soleil (bungalows with a swiss management) or the Hotel Espadon. You have also Hotel Benjamin. All these addresses are in the Lonely Planet. Rooms are between 100 000 fmg and 250 000 fmg according the quality (lower in Madagascar than in many countries). Ask if they have hot water or not.

K bar is the pick up bar in the evening. Later you have the Djembé Disco. 100 000 fmg for long time is the normal price.

Avoid the rainy season (february to april). Enjoy the kindness of local people and the sensuality of malgache girls. Sea food is marvelous.

Good travel

[Member #4366]

All hotels in Madagascar are guest friendly. At least, I haven't yet come across one that was not. And you won't be charged extra when you bring a guest.

[Soerli]

Hello,

I am very impressed from the great reports on this side about the experiences of exotic and erotic life in Madagascar. So I am planing to go to Madagascar in March 2005.

I would prefer nosy be. who can recommend guestfriendly hotels? I would be glad to get some news.

Thanks
