View Full Version : Madagascar
This perspective is fascinating to me. With girls in many countries I have always done the opposite: I ask their price first, and I do not negotiate. Instead, if I don't like their price, I walk away, right away, and do not let them rope me back in.
Why? Because any girl that asks a high price, is someone who thinks highly of themselves and their own market value; and so very likely is someone who thinks they are "above" the sort of wild kinky things I enjoy, either refusing it outright or massively upcharging for it. (Even after saying they'll do it! Especially after saying they'll do it!
Whereas a girl that asks the going rate, or even lower, is a girl who (at least in that moment) sees her body as a commodity, to be sold for a commodity price. And so is a girl who will likely not think of herself highly, and will be open to doing all sorts of additional things with no upcharge.
Do Malagasy women break this logic? If so, they'd be the first ones I've ever seen to do so.Hi Mate.
Lesson no 1: Never influence middle men.
Since I have travelled quite a bit. I know that certain places are operated through SPAs and Brothels. SPAs and Brothels are a mafia. Perfect example is girlie bars in Thailand and South East Asia. Countries like Australia is very oppressive to mongers because of oppressive regulations. When you enter into a legal brothel in Queensland, the sex worker comes to you wearing glouse to check your dick. It's oppressive to the level that you get a limp dick when they do that. Australia has been a famous place for street walkers where you can walk up to them and negotiate prices. But legal brothel system and online escort site that offer Asian hookers for high prices has runined the mongering scene. In countries mongering is not an industry. Girls get the full benefit of it. Whatever amount you pay them goes to them and their families. Even though you tip them as they please you it directly benifits them. There are two important facts you need to realise in mongering.
1. WGs don't do it for fun. They do it to survive.
2. It's a service and middle men ruined the service (Example: South East Asia).
Lazy mongers prefer Spas and Bars because they are too lazy, shy and insecure to talk to women. As clever mongers we should not influence middle men. We should never buy girls from girlie bars and pubs. We should always influence freelancers. We should tip them based on their service. We should do everything in our control to protect the freelance sex scene in countries. Because sex is a fundamental requirement. All these nonsense of women empowerment and bullshit make it oppressive to alpha males who are sexually active. If you meet women who are in need of money. Get their consent and offer a price in exchange of sex. Doesn't matter which country you reside. Then you can offer her to some of your friends and get her a customer line. We have to cut the middle men. We have to influence sex work in a way that directly benifits sex workers and mongers. That way, we as mongers can control the market. If we don't run by this code we may have to fuck shitty drunk tattooed hookers in bars for rediculous prices similar to some beer drinking loosers do in Thailand. It's funny they think WGs are their girlfriends.
Lesson no 2: Value preposition.
Value for sex workers in the market is an arbitrary value, hence always devalue sex workers and inform other mongers to pitch the same price. Always negotiate prices on websites when you call them or meet them. I have probably screwed more than 1000 sex workers (humbly) in Sri Lanka. Including actresses, models, showgirls, spa girls and what not. Lotta mongers pay rediculous amount of money to them. Especially foreign mongers. Maximum I ever paid is 50 USD. I always do ST as little as 25-30 USD. Anything more than that I offer my price, if they are firm I walk away and I inform others not to buy. Because it is not worth it. Russian and Thai sex workers residing or touring in Sri Lanka or India propose high value due to rarity factor. I always avoid Thai and Russian hookers in such countries and go for the local. It's always cheap to fly and screw a Russians or Thais if you so badly want to screw them. Make them feel like they lose a faithful customer. This is specially true when it comes to middle men (Spa / bar owners) You don't have to fuck by anyone' rules. You can make the rules.
I stayed in a number of hotels in Tana, including the Glacier, which is not bad by local standards. They even have a fridge in the room. And the staff is extremely friendly. I always bought them the drinks and sandwiches and they helped me a lot by keeping an eye out for me and offering me extra good service.
I also stayed at the Shangai Hotel, which is a more family oriented but situate on the hill overlooking the Avenue de l'Independance. The staff is very friendly and the food good.
I checked out Sole Hotel but it is a bit far removed from the Avenue de L'Independance and I would not walk around there at night. Several FLs on the street opposite the hotel in the afternoon. They typically asked 30-40,000. There are other hotels on the avenue de l'Independance as well and they look OK.
I felt perfectly safe in the Glacier hotel. Outside is another story after 7 PM. This guy jumped me early one night in the street outside the hotel but I was carrying nothing of value. I easily pushed him away with my arm and leg sending him sprawling. I am surprised that he approached me because I am not exactly a small guy. Quite the opposite. I stand two meters tall and weigh 110 kilos. Despite my age mid-seventies--I am in the shape of my life. His sidekick quickly backed away when his partner in crime went down. But I learned my lesson and avoided the arcades on either side of the Avenue de l'independence after dark. Better to walk in the inner lane reserved for parking.
Thanks for a great and useful report, good to hear you got away scot free, Viking! On balance, in which order would you rate the hotels you stayed in? Glacier seems adequate, and I assume not they are not focusing on families, so quite solo traveler friendly as compared to Shangai?
Yes don't worry about bringing girls to Glacier hotel. You can bring 5 girls a day if you wish haha.

Stay 11/2022.
Wanted to try something new and went to the Hotel Shalimar next to LE Realis Normande on the recommendation of someone from ISG.
This is about a 3 minute walk from the Sole Hotel.
I roamed around everywhere at night and found everything sufficiently safe.
Had a premium room but was superfluous. Medium would have been enough. The only difference to the medium is that air conditioning can be included here, but it is superfluous. Not needed in Tana.
Walk-in had moved into the room without booking anything beforehand.
You can also pay for the room at the reception with a card, also with Mastercard.
My room was on the third floor. During the day it is audibly loud. However, it was quiet at night.
The room was very large and extremely spacious.
Everything made a clean impression.
The WIFI was super fast.
A modern lift is also available.
No safe.
Fridge available.
TV with many channels.
Ladies visit with ID no problem. Had a few Streethookers wit me.
There is a restaurant in the hotel below from 8 am to 10 pm. You can also have breakfast there for a fee.
You can also use the room telephone to order breakfast and food to your room.
A great hotel in my opinion. I would definitely visit again. Nobody should really be put off by the location, it's really around the corner from the Sole and no problem, since it's a long walk, even at night. You just have to go down a long street.
In addition, it is also cheaper than Sole.
Absolute recommendation!

Ah I forgot to mention. There's NO McDonalds. NO Starbucks. NO Airbnb. NO Booking. No Aircon 4* Hotel international Brand Name except Tana.There are some nice AirBnBs in Andohalo district of Tana, 1.3 Km South-East of The Glacier bar / hotel. Cost around $35-50 per night but well-discounted (one-third off) for stays of 28 days and up.
AirBnBs further out are similarly priced but possibly quieter, with less air pollution. Need to select 'self-contained' or 'private entrance'. No walk-of-shame or guest registration, of course, but avoid properties where the owner lives adjacent (they usually do not). Antananarivo lies at 4,200 feet elevation, so comfortable humidity but cool in winter (June-September). 17.8% oxygen vs. 20.9% at sea level (15% less).
There is one KFC in Tana, next to Shoprite (Ambodivona), 1.75 Km North of the tourist district. Portent of more chains to come?

I forgot to add that I brought gifts with me. Other than the usual perfumes and soaps and scarves I brought a dozen or so sex toys which were much appreciated by the girls and not readily available in Madagascar. I let them keep one as keepsake. This one girl said " I have no boyfriend, no husband, but now I do. " Very cute. As I shared, I would typically have drinks and a snack with the girl of my choice before heading back to my room, just to check out the chemistry. The Glacier bar is too noisy for any meaningful conversation. Treating your girl well is a good investment and paid off big time.
I am back home now with many fond memories.
Cheers!

Only clueless tourists need an AirBnB. And KFC?. Who needs KFC. That's only used by US Embassy personnel. I get crispy chicken. And chips on every street corner in Africa.
La Buse.
There's no walk of Shame. What is that? Shagging is as normal as drinking water. The receptionist is grinning all the time every time I take a chica up to shag. Kabisa.

The appartement does exist eventually, but its run by an amateur, asking for similar prices as you can get a hotel room with full service. For a tourist staying in town for a week or two, AirBnB does not make sense.
In addition: the location in the middle of rubbish. Had you ever been there in Andohalo? Its a hilly area without any tousirtic infrastucture. Makes no sense at all for a gentlemen's tourist to stay there.
In Antananrivo center you can find easy good and cheap hotels. Just follow the infos from previous travellers and not Mr Google Search!
Arrived with air France with 1 hour delay as the airport stuff manage mix up peoples luggage and bring it to another plane instead so it takes 1 hour sort it out and bring it back. Customs was quiet quick visa 35 euros for 1 month payed with my debit card as don't have any cash. Take 800 k cash with mastercard from bvf ATM with 8 k charge All phone cards seller was open at 1. 30 am at night telma, airtel, orange. Bought orange 3 GB internet with sim for 32 k as its working best. Walk out from terminal ignore taxis for 70 k instead walk to airport car park and saw 3 taxi guys parked few looks a bit dodgy. Offer for one older guy 40 k he refuses as he said he needs pay parking fee. Agree for 50 k at the end and of we go. The guy know some english so we have some chat. He was speaking english I was french as I want improve everything I learn in 5 month time listening audio on my way to work at england. Arrived at sole hotel they give me quiet room as always. Went straight to bed as was tired as a dog.
Wake up in a morning get girl contact from another guy which was at mada with me last time. I saw this girl before already in person just not fucked yet she has great body no kids but face just ok. She agree come my hotel for 40 k. We spend few hours together she was good and fun make me cum 2 times so I gave her 48 k in the end. She was happy with that and not stop me texting till now for repeat. Price increase in mada like everywhere in a world for hotels, food, diesel and so on. Like example cake with juice at glacier was 10 k 6 month ago now same mix is 14 k. Night time decided to check all nightlife as I knew 3 new discos appear from my last visit. Walk around freelancers spots like always all girls is not fuckable. Later went to glacier nothing new here if you find something to fuck here you are lucky as 99 percent girls is in bad shape. Later went to check new disco name (Red. Night. Tana) is just next to irish pub entry fee is 20 k ariary with one free drink of your choice 23 pm it was full. This place is for richer malagashy or go party with your girl. People inside has money girls is siting alone with black labels bottles smoking shishas and enjoy the night. Not a place for mongering finish my drink and walk to disco name club ibiza (ex la suite 101) nothing to much happens here just some local band playing waste 10 k on entry. After walk to check out new disco name djembe (ex LE six) no entry but not much happening also. Walk to mansoon it was full at midnight but all girls is not good looking. Saw just one really cute 19 years old girl from fort daulphin without kids. Offer her 60 k ariary for all night but get answer no and 150 k instead (I thought I heard bad on loud music and ask her to type it on my phone.) She type the same 150 k. I just laugh at her and say no 60 k. She go down to 100 k but no more so I just walk away. Never have same situations at my previous trips. Went out find a taxi some girls follow me and ask if I can give them a lift for taxibe also I said jump in no problem. Police stop us on the way but not ask any passport (even I have visa page on my phone) . Taxibe was packed at night with many girls but I saw just 3 in total I liked in 1. 5 hour time spend here. First girl I chatted refuse 60 k offer for all night she want 100 k so I skip her and find another I like she refuse 60 k also so I went for another one which I like I start understand if I not increase my price I will go sleep hotel alone as its not was more girls of my liking. I offer 80 k for her she said small at first but after some time agree. Its more like her sister agree for her as the girl don't speak almost any french. She was cute 18 years old no kids from toliara. So we went back hotel sex was fine but nothing special she was also super shy for photos and don't want to make it. Fuck her at night one time in a morning and kick her out with 80 k ariary (haha never pay so much before in tana yet). Seems 60 k max not work anymore for all better looking girls from discos. Also forget to check new disco name (nirvana) its just close from taxibe at President hotel if someone interested to check. Taxi be seems its still best option to find better looking girls and 2 am stil packed with many people coming in.
Next day decide play facebook games. Have many beauties contacts from tana but they refuse come staight to hotel room but all agree to meet in person outside. I Remember I have model girl contact which I meet at sole hotel 6 month ago at model competition at restaurant on the rooftop but that time she was just 17 years old so just take contact. This time she is 18 and agree go out for date with me. We went out for eat pizza at gastronome pizza and after for few drinks and for a walk. Later I offer go my hotel watch youtube music videos and she agree. Sex was great and she was fun to be. In a morning I gave her 20 k ariary taxi money she was happy as I treat her life a GF. Seems sometimes I need adjust for dating to get best girls instead pure mongering as it works great. I checked out from hotel and went to cottise transport to take taxi brouss to ambanja. Will stay here for 1 day as I have 4-5 facebook contacts which want to fuck. After to nosybe. Posted long report to kill the time as nothing to do anyway at cottis transport taxi brouss.

Yes red club is full of richer or spoiled girls. But you never know. And ibiza (ex LE six) is not good as before. Mostly girls with boyfriends etc.

Like example cake with juice at glacier was 10 k 6 month ago now same mix is 14 k. Night time decided to check all nightlife as I knew 3 new discos appear from my last visit. Walk around freelancers spots like always all girls is not fuckable. Later went to glacier nothing new here if you find something to fuck here you are lucky as 99 percent girls is in bad shape. Later went to check new disco name (Red. Night. Tana) is just next to irish pub entry fee is 20 k ariary with one free drink of your choice 23 pm it was full. This place is for richer malagashy or go party with your girl. People inside has money girls is siting alone with black labels bottles smoking shishas and enjoy the night. Not a place for mongering finish my drink and walk to disco name club ibiza (ex la suite 101) nothing to much happens here just some local band playing waste 10 k on entry. After walk to check out new disco name djembe (ex LE six) no entry but not much happening also. Walk to mansoon it was full at midnight but all girls is not good looking. Saw just one really cute 19 years old girl from fort daulphin without kids. Offer her 60 k ariary for all night but get answer no and 150 k instead (I thought I heard bad on loud music and ask her to type it on my phone.) She type the same 150 k. I just laugh at her and say no 60 k. She go down to 100 k but no more so I just walk away. Never have same situations at my previous trips. Went out find a taxi some girls follow me and ask if I can give them a lift for taxibe also I said jump in no problem. Police stop us on the way but not ask any passport (even I have visa page on my phone) . Taxibe was packed at night with many girls but I saw just 3 in total I liked in 1. 5 hour time spend here. First girl I chatted refuse 60 k offer for all night she want 100 k so I skip her and find another I like she refuse 60 k also so I went for another one which I like I start understand if I not increase my price I will go sleep hotel alone as its not was more girls of my liking. I offer 80 k for her she said small at first but after some time agree. Its more like her sister agree for her as the girl don't speak almost any french. She was cute 18 years old no kids from toliara. So we went back hotel sex was fine but nothing special she was also super shy for photos and don't want to make it. Fuck her at night one time in a morning and kick her out with 80 k ariary (haha never pay so much before in tana yet). Seems 60 k max not work anymore for all better looking girls from discos. Also forget to check new disco name (nirvana) its just close from taxibe at President hotel if someone interested to check. Taxi be seems its still best option to find better looking girls and 2 am stil packed with many people coming in.
Next day decide play facebook games. Have many beauties contacts from tana but they refuse come staight to hotel room but all agree to meet in person outside. I Remember I have model girl contact which I meet at sole hotel 6 month ago at model competition at restaurant on the rooftop but that time she was just 17 years old so just take contact. This time she is 18 and agree go out for date with me. We went out for eat pizza at gastronome pizza and after for few drinks and for a walk. Later I offer go my hotel watch youtube music videos and she agree. Sex was great and she was fun to be. In a morning I gave her 20 k ariary taxi money she was happy as I treat her life a GF. Seems sometimes I need adjust for dating to get best girls instead pure mongering as it works great. I checked out from hotel and went to cottise transport to take taxi brouss to ambanja. Will stay here for 1 day as I have 4-5 facebook contacts which want to fuck. After to nosybe. Posted long report to kill the time as nothing to do anyway at cottis transport taxi brouss.

Thanks for the update, even though some of it is bad news! Surprising that some girls are asking for 150 k and won't come down. Ridiculous really. 2 nights is a month's salary in Mada. I can't imagine they are doing much business.
Enjoy the 20 hours to Ambanja. You thought you were tired after your flight!

Enjoy the 20 hours to Ambanja. You thought you were tired after your flight!If you are not filthy rich and dumb, you can always turn down their offer and look for someone else. Seeing that other girls getting more clients can bring their prices down. That's why we need to stay strong as a community and advise other mongers not to offer more than 40 k for ST and 60 k for LT. No pssy is golden. And greed takes WGs no where. We need to value our money as much as they value their service. Always bargain and never settle. Happy hunting.
After 20 hours spend in cottise from tana to ambanja I get very tired and want just run away. Its getting slower and slower every time this trips. 20 hours from tana to ambanja just dream now I was close to city antsohihy at 9 am morning so decided to stop here for one night. I stayed at hotel Sofia bellevue its nice hotel just 80 k ariary for big room, with aircon, fan, hot water, tv,wifi and has swimming pool outside. The girl who visited me said its best hotel in town. Also another better hotel in town is hotel LE paradiser. When I arrived at hotel I already has a girl who is coming to see me as I sort it out till I was in taxibrouss from my facebook contacts. The girl arrived around 11 am she was very cute 20 years old no kids perfect body and sweet. We talk a bit and I liked her straight away and offer to stay till morning with me. She agree but told me she has Malagasy boyfriend at town so can't go to town with me as don't want to be seen with foreigner. Her boyfriend is working another city and should comeback tomorrow afternoon. I like her honest and told no problem for me. After we fuck for 1 hour she was great one of the best sex I have in mada from many trips. Electricity disappear so was hot as fuck at room. Later we just rest on bed and talking than her phone start ring. She told me her boyfriend calling and ask me be quiet. She answer her phone speak something in Malagasy and her face change she become scared and worried start panic she hang up the phone and said her boyfriend comeback early and asking why she not at home and where is she? She quickly put her clothes on and was running away out from my room forget even about money (which I supposed to give as a present) Her phone was ringing again this time I just stop her and put 30 k ariary in her hand. She just said in French thanks and I am very sorry it happens and was running away it makes me laugh.
I went to sleep for 1 hour and after went to check city. This town don't have any bajaj or pus pus just shared taxis everywhere trip cost 2 k ariary around city (this is that I pay for 3 kilomitres ride) I met few girls in shared taxi so I ask them about discos in town. They told me has just one disco name club super taureau but its open just on weekends. I stop in the end of town and decide to walk back all the way to my hotel to check around. Its typical small boring town very hot outside and nothing to do. Didint seen any good looking girls on my walk just one cute teenager with school uniform so I pass her. Went for some food at hotel paradiser food was nice for duck with rice and small beufort beer 29 k ariary also hotel sofia bellavue has good restaurant with reasonable prices for big pizza was 20 k. This hotel was full of vazahas tourist who pass passing with their 4 x4 and guides. Wake up 5 o clock morning and went to station to find another taxibrouss to ambanja. Hopefully after 7 hours will reach ambanja. I am thinking I stop long trips with taxibrouss to much suffer 10-12 hours is pasable but not 20-25 hours.
Do it worth to visit antsohihy? My opinion its worth just if you split a trip from tana to ambanja or diego and if you already has girl who will come to see you so you can rest, fuck, swim at hotel pool and next day carry on for your trip. Otherwise better forget this town.
Main-stations were Tana, Tamatave, Manakara, Antsirabe, Fianarantsoa, Toliara and back.
Just read some resent posts with interest and have to say, I made some other in general better experiences which I like to share.

Otherwise better forget this town.Interesting report. Out of the box to explore the typical Mada. There are so many destinations for a stop.
But tell me: which FB group did you use? Normally FB contacts focus on Tana only.
Arrived at Ivato late at night disembarked at the new fingerdock, what a Veloma!
Followed by never ending Immigration nightmare, four counters.
Anyway got expected with name tag by the bus driver. Money pulled out of ATM at the airport. All together ending up in the minibus, 6 of us. First Vahaza girl passing 20 K A to the baggage carriers, me instantly saying that's for all of us. LOL.
Arrived at hotel, damped bag in room and hit the road. Taxi to glacier pleas, price 10 K -ok. Arrived at LE glacier. Closed. Go to Colbert. Closed. Go to Manson. Still open. Driver wants 30 K!! And got quickly aggressiv, paid 25 K.
Rather bad selection of girls with had to bee expected. One beer and soon I had a acceptable on my siede. Ordered a Pizza and shared. The girl gave short BJ at the dark side of the bar. Upstairs the chambre separe does not existes anymore. Ok, we go home! She asked if cute jung girlfriend also can come. Alarm-bells ringing! Price and time? Ended up in 40 k each.
No taxi. We walk short distance home. Do not do this, but we were fine. Its pushing your luck.
Shower together make sure everything is clean. I always insist and give them a toothbrush to bee used.
The pro started her routine and made me coming. The younger more or less watched the scene. The pro lays by side and started to sleep.
The young one started her performance wich ended up in the bathroom with different positions at the wall and the sink.
Now I become tired, got the money out, 2 x40 K passed it over and made them pleasant clear to leaf. No taxi money.
First Mission accomplished, but the monetary siede I have to work on for sure.
Welcome to Mada. Veloma.
Moramanga is a medium sized city between Antananarivo and Tamatave. I stayed there only 1 night in Bezanozano hotel. If you stay in the rooms near the pool its quite good. 80.000 AR per night. 70.000 AR with negotation. The biggest bar in town is not far at all. Around 200 meters away. But not so nice looking girls, so I didn't take any girl there.
Interesting report. Out of the box to explore the typical Mada. There are so many destinations for a stop.
But tell me: which FB group did you use? Normally FB contacts focus on Tana only.Its not group just facebook contacts you look girls friends of friends and send them friends reguest. All madagascar use facebook as is posible to have facebook bundle for small amount of money. I have more than 2300 girls fb contacts all over mada so never lack of girls any city I go it takes me 5 years to get all of them its not one day work.
I stayed at chalet des roses and Bamboo loge, they are opposite each other, both were 80 K. Gasy Car VIP starts there and goes to Antsirabe for 20 K. Well situated for walkers at day time.
Bamboo lodge is very hippie style with window in the roof were you can see the stars at night out of the bed. But no food or Breakfast. Chalet de rose has a restaurant for all of that inklusive Pizza, good Breakfast for 20 K.
Moste girls I picked up at LE glacier at day time but not all, peanuts there are 1 K, short time 20 k, over night 40 K what ends 6 to7 in the morning when they wanted to leav and give me some sleep. LOL. For good service I paid the taxi 5 K.
Cute young Gals some did not speak french. 3 to4 times a day I looked in LE glacier for a talk with girls or vahazas. Once I visited the zoo with a girl.
In the loge I had 3 times a duo in my bed. Hippie style. Often I treated them with drinks an food. Sometimes after the deed in the afternoon they asked not for any money at all.
As Bienenstich recommend I visited Pharmacie de Tana and bought a gonorrhea kit. The young long haired girl, good looking spoke good English. But I did not needed any medication after all. Just around the corner is Sakamanga hotel with super food etc.
I used what's up, wich most of them had or SMS. Some of the girls are still texting me now at home. Pleas send money (.).
I liked the street food at night on Independence Avenue from were I picked one girl up too.
My French ist at the level that I can run a conversation well.
This time I had in general a very safe feeling at all times at any place I was.
There are old and young french couples on their way up and down the island. Use common sense and you are safe.
After the first fife days Tana I headed to Tamatave by cotisse transport premium, wich I booked by telephone ahead. Premium ist not needed as for later I preferd taxi brousse anyway in most cases.
The travel ist not too scenic and the road is in bad condition but we arrived in Toasamina and I got a room in Joffre. You will find a place to stay anywhere, but if you have certain ideas, book ahead since tamatave is "booming" and one of my choices was "plein" - full.
Hit the road down and went to La Terrasse for diner. Good selection of food for reasonable price. Lots of expats in bad mental shape, tensions mangst them can bee heard and seen. Some fortunate very friendly ones too for good talks about.
Went to taxi bee wich was dead. Saw blinking lights on a high building, must bee a bar. Security open the elevator and up it went to the ever so dead New York bar, I guess it was Sunday.
The waitress came and I said I would leaf if she would not join for a drink, wich she certainly did. She spoke exzellent englisch, I spook french in wich she corrected me if needed. Changed numbers and after overlooking the city and empty the glas I left. Minutes after she invited her self after her shift to my room by WhatsApp.
She came and the procedure took place immediately. She had this kind of afro Bush, just some curly hair but nut much. So I asked her in the morning if I should shave it. Oui! So I did very passionately what ended in another long bang.
This time many People by the reason I have no ideas why assumed I was English or a american and I met some englisch speaking girls, but the Bar Girl was the only one I had sex with.
In the morning she left and I never saw her again. Because just minutes after I met the ultimative tamatave girlfriend.
But the Bar Girl still texting my now via WhatsApp, separate story.
Cottis transport to toliara.
After I met "the tamatave girl" I blocked the New York girl. Back home I deb-locked her and minutes later I received her first message. After some compliments, she said she is in trouble and needs urgently money. I replied with some nice nonsense and said I am back home and I can not give or send her money by telma. Sorry. In a second or two she answers, she will send me her Name Adresse and her Bank Account number of Western Union Bank.
Well that's about it, obviously sure some fools do that. Thinking about it now, I should have asked her if she could send me first a photograph of my work I have recently done on her muff.
Well, all I spend on her was the drink in the bar.
Prior to my visit I took this company in consideration for Tana. Tulear.
But, that means I would have missed all the towns in between or it would have made it very complicated.
I took only two times Gasy Car VIP, out of Tana and on the way back. So I stayed two times in Antsirabe and the fare was 20 K.
The way back from Tamatave to Tana I took Taxi brousse, that was pain on the limit and in addition to it you arrive after midnight at the station taxi Brousse in the outskirt of Tana and it was not so easy to finde transportation into the center.

Tinte's post reminded me to ask board members which hotels they stay at while in Tamatave. I have always stayed at Anjara but this last time it sucked. The WIFI was as bad as 4 years ago while most other hotels have gotten better. Hot water was out half the time. There wasn't even a toilet seat and after 2 requests to install one I gave up. The staff seem very indifferent as well and to top it off they lost my reservation but fortunately had room. Broken shower door etc. Very poor as I noticed many hotels I stayed at in other cities had upped their game. I wanted to try a new hotel nearby called Satrana but they were full. I did get to see a room and they seemed small but quite nice. Anyway, where do you stay?

I took this route in July and the Cotisse stopped at the Tripolitsa first where I exited, after which it continued on, presumably to their hq at the taxi brousse station.

Since covid, while breakfast is included, their good restaurant was closed for meals, instead serving only pizza. Hopefully, they get the full menu back up. Also, the Calypso is good, if you can tolerate the rude staff.
The Miray is viable if you're a cheapskate, but last May for some unexplained reason they were letting only their own, that is, Chinese in. Joffrey and Java are both now Chinese run. Joffrey gone downhill with restaurant terrible. The Java is filthy and towels and sheets reek. There's others of course but only if you've travelled all the way to Tamatave only to insist on the cheapest possible lodgings.

Anyway, where do you stay?Agree about anjara hotel its totally shit I I spend 11 days last time on febraury in tamatave and 3 of them was at anjara hotel it was problems every day, wifi is not working or signal is super poor, electricity was disapearing almost every day, aircon is weak and so on. After 3 days I moved to satrana hotel its just 20 metres away from anjara I stay another 8 days. The hotel is small probably around 10 rooms in total but its cozy for 70 k ariary per night also rooms was small but aircon is working good, wifi signal is good just if you get a room which has wifi extender next to the room on the wall. The photo with red floor is from anjara hotel and another 2 photos is from satrana. Tamatave is one of my 3 best cities in mada for mongering never lack of new girls everyday to get!!

I took this route in July and the Cotisse stopped at the Tripolitsa first where I exited, after which it continued on, presumably to their hq at the taxi brousse station.With cotisse I traveld only Tana. Tamatave, main stations. Twice with Cassy car VIP, Tana Chalet de rose to Antsirabe Residence Sociale, were they have a small office. I noticed that people get piked up and dropped on the direkt way, to destinations. The same aplise to taxi Brousse.
On the way south I stayed several day in a forest lodge. The Taxi brousse from Fianarantsoa coming piked me standing on RN7 up. But I had to book a ticket a head and pay 20 % ahead. Without the help of the hotel-staff and the service by telma I could not have done it.
What was the room price in Sharon hotel?

There's others of course but only if you've travelled all the way to Tamatave only to insist on the cheapest possible lodgings.
Minutes after the New York girl left in the morning with a fresh shaved pussy, I hit the road to la Terrasse. Just after 20 meters I saw opposite the road this slim tall beauty with long curly hair, Asian looking. I waved her, bonjour! And she returned my veloma. Smalltalk, in which she said she had a short break and is heading to her family shop, lets go and have a look. Yes her family runs a shop but it was clear to me, that's not very good business. She introduced me to the family, and I think they saw in me a good business too. She got instantly a morning off and we went to the seafront for a long conversation and some brochets. Followed by a session in the Joffre room. Her and her sister showed me Tamatave, and certain I paid.
In the evening we went to Poisson d'or. Exzellent grilled fish, LE capitaine.
I have never given her any money, but I enjoyed her very often and keep a eye on my expenses witch were growing rapidly. With her sister we went for instance to an Italian gelateria on the seafront were many Gassy people were too. Copas were 21 K!!
She took me home, showed me the family house. Very posh, great wall with glas on top, inside euro style. They had two cars. There was a photo of her finishing her study in law. Somme members of the clan life in France. " Why do you work in the shop? " La system malgache: to get a jop she had to pay first 7000 Euros. That would bee a years salary. According to some expats. That could well bee.
The relatives in France are tide, so they do not want to pay. Well anyway, I think about it, am I become crazy?
Anyway I told them I will head for Foulpoint in a day. We went for diner again were all of a sudden she asked if I do know a girl that is working in New York bar? I pulled the string, payed and wished good night.
The next morning I took LE taxi Brousse to Tana.
Were ever you are in Mada you get the konstant offers by taxi- poussepousse- an cyclopoussedriver. They do not like wehen you put them constantly down in french. Slap your leg with the hand and say: zanga zangana! I'm having a walk! They like that respond, thump um and smile. Oh here he is again, LE monsieur zanga zangana. LOL.
What was the room price in Sharon hotel?If you have to ask the price, it's probably too expensive for you. Sorry, don't remember exactly: I think around 120 k. Just show up and pay cash. There has always been rooms available.
Like the BJ in the Manson bar, prior to my visit I cultivated the idea of banging a chambermaid.
Was not easy, since most of them were well expired.
But I found her. Noticed the time when she does my room in the morning, so I just managed tho come back from my walk at that time.
Went in my room and said no problem, I am watching your are working. Smile and small talk.
The door was open, so I asked her if I should close it. She agreed. At that point I was determent to go for it.
Took her hand and gave her a long kiss, no resistance. I started to undress her, then she asked me if I would give her any money in the end, bien sure!
She had one of the best Bodys with good boobs und firm muscular legs. I banged her in various positions, she was enjoin it to. As I was about to come, she covernd my mouth because the window was open and her co worker was working downstairs.
I gave her 20 K and for the washing of my shirts a very good price, later she asked me for a bottle of soft-drink for her children wich I both her.
The following days we could not repeat, her colleague was around, I guess she got afraid of getting trouble.
Sure I will go again.

After 3 days I moved to satrana hotel its just 20 metres away from anjara I stay another 8 days.

The photo with red floor is from anjara hotel and another 2 photos is from satrana. Tamatave is one of my 3 best cities in mada for mongering never lack of new girls everyday to get!!First and last pic looks very nice. Rather pale girls and in tamatave too oh man.
Where was the chambermaid that you banged? .

Where was the chambermaid that you banged? .My first attempt was three years ago in Fianarantsoa in a middle class hotel. I waved the maid, wich was in a other room opposite to my room. She came but I was not brave, man enough to go konsequent go for it. Later on Fb she reveald that she is always ready for that.
This time was in Manakara. So far I look at it that way: The thing is, any attempt towards a girl is seen as a compliment on the girl side. And the look always for cash.
That's not Europe, that makes it very easy. Not much can go wrong there.
On the other hand I went from LE glacier with a new girl over to Gastropizza and I spend a ice cream. After finishing the Ice cream she tells me she needs to pisse. Ok me too. First toilet left is the girls room and all were occupied so we went to the boys I suggested. Together in the toilet she did hers and after I wiped her pussy. Then I took my garcon out she had to hold and direct while I was having my slash. That did not go to well and I had to do the cleaning. After I asked for a BJ, which went fin.
Jess, sorry, the girls had no choice, since she is a pute from LE Glacier and if she says no, that would have meant just free Ice-cream. Trial passed.
It has been said bevor, Antsirabe is not worth to visit. Its not that bad. On the grand avenue are at daytime til night SW siting under the trees. Price is 20 K.
As I left chalet rose in Tana the receptionist asked me were I will stay in Antsirabe, I told her Hotel Diamant, she instantly replied: ce vulgaire! Yes rooms are out of another time and the disco is a hook up place. There are good restaurants and at mirana bakery in the center you get a petit dejeuner complet for 20 K. Always some expats there for a talk. It is also a place were upper class gassy go, but you are lucky if they reply to your bonjour.

Forum and in general all site is very informative for any of my trips.
I am traveling March / April in Mada.

My question is how many days to spend in tana? I will flight straight to nosy be firstly.
How many days I need to return back in tana (flight from nosybe) before my flight back to europe (to check also the capital as a tourist).
My opinion is 2-3 nights, (all trip 19 days).
Feel free to add any other options.
Thanks in advance and hope I will add very soon a great report like yours.

That is impossible to say without knowing what you like. Big spread out city with crappy travel due to traffic. Bear in mind that the weather will most likely be crappy as well so may screw with your travel plans. Wise to give yourself 2-3 days leeway as taxi brousse could be stuck in mud and weather could delay flights. Good luck and happy hunting.
First of all I haven't been to Nosy.
The answer to your question is very much depending on your personal preferences. If you are a beach and nature lover and find a girl that suits you, for sure you will like to spend as much time in Nosy as you can. On the other hand Tana is very fascinating city at daytime with a very exiting mithilfe also, LOL.
Two girls I met in Tana I had no sex with, ok one performed once a BJ. But the were very good looking jung slim companions well dressed to explore new places at night. Ok, you pay the drinks and food but that 's peanuts. On did take a shower late at night, cuddled me to sleep and now money was given in the morning, I was dating her twice. I like Tana.
". Online dark websites have revealed groups of men who are waiting for the opening of borders so that they can engage in sex tourism on the island. One such site, International Sex Guide, has a thread dedicated to Madagascar, where users update each other on political affairs and how these will affect their sinister trips. ".

I am not sure what constitutes a "dark" website but I don't think this one qualifies. In any case this article is over a year old and was already mentioned back then. Nothing new.
Is this a "dark" website?All people can have a look at this website. Nothing new!
The article, that is quite old, seems to promote the sex tourism so malgascian women can grow up their family.

Thanks both for your answers, 2-3 days would be more than enough to check touristicaly the city and main parts (2 nights).
Wish happy new year to everyone with health. Keep hunting.
Thanks.
That is impossible to say without knowing what you like. Big spread out city with crappy travel due to traffic. Bear in mind that the weather will most likely be crappy as well so may screw with your travel plans. Wise to give yourself 2-3 days leeway as taxi brousse could be stuck in mud and weather could delay flights. Good luck and happy hunting.
First of all I haven't been to Nosy.
The answer to your question is very much depending on your personal preferences. If you are a beach and nature lover and find a girl that suits you, for sure you will like to spend as much time in Nosy as you can. On the other hand Tana is very fascinating city at daytime with a very exiting mithilfe also, LOL.
Did you manage to get your residence?
They ripped you off big time. For a fluent french speaker you don't seem to have a clue how things in subsaharan Africa work. Everybody is your friend because you're their ATM. Your taxi "friend" is waiting for you to rip you off big time AGAIN.
Grow up and do thing yourself. The more wallet operators are positioning themselves as middle man the more Euros you will shell out. Madagascar is the 5th poorest country on this planet. My girlfriend pays 10 rent in her village. A MONTH that is.

Who's shitting paper right now to obtain ma residence ici.
Spend 2 weeks here have a great time will add some updates: ambanja_ankify taxi brouss is 6 k ariary. Boats prices from ankify to hellville is: fast boat-20 k catamaran-15 k slowest one -11 k.
Bajaj (tuk tuk) prices at nosybe: hellville port-ambatoloaka (shared) - 4 k ambatoloaka- dzamandzar (pharmacy) - 2 k bajaj anywhere for short distances like 1-3 kilomitres is 1 k. Shared taxi which you can find at hellville to nosybe airport just 4 k ariary.
Before I come to nosybe I was planing to have at least 2 new girls per day but my plan didint work so well as it was not so easy to find 2 new girls per day which I like. Prices for girls didint change in nosybe from my last visit. In 2 weeks I have 18 diffrent new girls in total: 8 facebook girls ,3 waitress from restaurants, clubs, bars, 1 girl from grocery store, 3 girls find at the beach daytime, 1 from tatie chris and just 2 from nightlife in ambotoloaka. Most of girls I take was for short time prices is 30,40,50 k. To give 50 k was my own decision for few waitress as I have the most respect for them and they was the best fuck so far. I have just 4 long times and payed 60 k most of the times. Nosybe have many girls this time but quality at clubs, bars is just so so after going here every day you realise you see the same girls nothing new. Taxibe, afrobar (ex biliard bar), djembe disco, tatie chris, serene disco they are all open and in full swing. Most vazahas places charge 8 k for small beaufort beer at malagashy places is 4-5 k. I don't drink any THB this trip so don't know the prices. Anyway nosybe is still the one of the best destination at mada for me for relaxed holidays with easy posibility to have at least 1 new good looking girl per day if you come a bit prepared with facebook contacts and use another methods to find a girls.

Best wishes for the new year.Fond memories from glacier!! Wow unbeliavable are you serious? This place is go down completely. If you are into young girls between 18-23 years old without kids your change to find something fuckable here is near zero percent maybe its increase to 10 -20 percent if you visit glacier 20-30 diffrent times. Glacier girls quality is become very simillar to quality of the street girls close to sole hotel and around. I not touch them even they pay me!

Great to hear discos in Ambatoloaka have reopened.
As another ISG member recomended this hotel on forum I decide to check it out. Stayed at suite room for 117 k per night at 4 floor. The room is big and nice, internet was very fast everything was working good, just a problem best rooms at this hotel facing main road so from early morning till 7 pm evening is noisy here. Night time was quiet till 6 am morning. Also location is on slum street not the best to walk after 22 pm or so when I was going out at 11 pm at night and want get taxi to clubs I need to walk 150-200 metres till I find one as next to hotel is no taxis at night. I ask them to show me quitet rooms on another side of road but I wasnt impresed rooms quality much worst here don't have fridge and rooms looks older so after 2 days I move out. When I was checking out and pay with my mastercard reception guy give me 10 percent discount off my stay even I not ask him it was nice from him.
This is my second stay at this hotel after 3 years time. Its probably the best hotel you can get in tana for this price and quality. Stayed at room for 146 k per night on 4 floor off the main road on quiet side with balcony Everything was working good here fast wifi, nice room breakfast included but its a bit joke for breakfast. Enjoyed my stay here hotel is worth to visit if you can get quiet room with window and balcony of main road. Rooms don't have windows here for 126 k per night. After few days I move out as reception want I change my room to another one as another guest booked it for long term. They offer me a room which I don't like so I left. The location is good also just opossite glacier.
Staying this hotel just for 10 hours time as this night is my flight back to uk. The location of hotel is good around 100 metres away from glacier. The room price is 85 k per night with tv, fast wifi, hot water and fan the rooms seems quiet also its smaller size but aint so bad. This room reminds me somehow hotel room at satrana hotel at tamatave just a bit less cozy and without aircon. For short stay I think its worth 85 k. Also restaurant have one very cute waitress already get her contact will see if posible to fix something with her. Seems this hotel is very popular with french vazahas all rooms is full I get the last room and they let me check in just 12 pm as room was occupied before.
Not far away from shalimar hotel just on next small quiet alley has a hotel name saphir (can find on google maps) for 35 k per night. It can be good package deal for guys who like take ugly street girls around or just next to hotel has some freelancers even at daytime. I was passing by and one of them one start talk to me. I offer her 20 k in joke manier and she quickly agree. I just told her I will comeback later make photo of hotel from outside and left.
To me this time it was a very good place, apart from the toilet and the section of the bar next to it. It smelled disgusting.
Better use the toilet in the restaurant.
Especial in the afternoon I met there some new talents. To one it seemed to me, I was her first client in Tana. She hardly spoke any French and two of her friends had to convinced her to get going. It ended in a teaching session, a threesome in the afternoon, 20 K for each girl. There are some entertaining " lady-snakes " too, you watch your steps, LOL.
Most, but not all hotel ask for the girls ID. At Serena hotel in Tulear, the receptionist always gave me a call, if everything went fin he would only return the ID to the girl. They also checked it very carefully on arrival, so I asked what for hes doing it for. The receptionist and a young French expat monger made the statement that some young girls fake the age and once in the room the relatives or the police shows up. The way to make the big money.
Hi,
Does anyone know if the French restaurant at the end of the main street in Ambatoloaka is still open? That one after the Safari and mamma mia restaurant, located on a terrace.
I forgot the name.
Thanks.
I thought this was not common in Madagascar??

In one hotel a girl just knocked the following afternoon at my door, try to sell her goods.
For your own safety. I was always fine with the check in but nothing is for certain since they can all bee in a plot.
It happens but its not very common.
Did you manage to get your residence?Soon I will bee retired too. LOL.
There's a germane site about it, with links to Germane official built-in. Relative simple if you start a business, hire staff and bring some cash. To get lose.
Fazit, for the last 10 year or so, more Germans moved back to Germany. I had a talk with a Spanish expat in wich he did admit, the move to Mada was the worst he has ever done and he regrets it every single day, but he can not go back. Sure there are some good examples but I met only one, married 20 years ago to a local Lady. But he said, it has worsens and nowadays he said. Forget it.
As for me great place for holly-days, like 6 weeks.
After the all I read in various posts in the past my expectations were sky high. Recent posts brought them down, and that is what I found.
I got there by taxi brousse came from Fianarantsoa, late at night and checked in my hotel of choice.
I was so inspired by the hotel amazone and its location, but that 's about it. The interior is run down and is rather on the expensive side for mada standards. Disappointment. After three nights I moved to Serena with is top Europe clean standard with walk in shower etc. The girls loved it too. Perfekt place.
Some members noted that food is a problem, I ate superbe. Best was " Chez Alice " and the Gelateria at Lalana Raseta.
LE Dromadaire was not very busy but simple food was ok and LE Boeuf was just nice in general rather expensive food and drinks.
Girls were plenty in all sizes and shapes, in general very hard core Pros. Discos and bars easy to bee found. For instance, I took one girl to Serena. She had a shower, wich she insisted to take on her own. She performed a BBBJ but no touching on pussy etc WTF. I stud up, took her clothes to the bed, made her dress up and threw her out with no money.
Besides that I had a great week exploring the place day and night with company to my linking. Food was great and I never got sick.
To bee repeated.
She performed a BBBJ but no touching on pussy etc WTF. I stud up, took her clothes to the bed, made her dress up and threw her out with no money.
Based! What was her reaction?
Thank you for your question. I did not beat her at all, if that was your assumption.
I rose, got out of bed and told her firmly to get dressed, passing her her clothes.
She asked for money but I harshly declined. She got the message of my acting like I was going to beat her if she would not go immediately.
If I read the news about Mada, it is dam dangerous place day and night created by many things.
I felt safe at all time. Felt!
With the exemption of one occasion. I was in a karaoke with a girl and a beer, next table a group of young malgache on their drink. All of a sudden one of them came to our table and started to talk in malgache to me. At first I thought it was friendly but he got very aggressive as I obviously did not meet his expectations. I raised up and realized he reached up to my nose, rather lean in appearance. At home, what a delight to meet for a work out. I was just about to positioning my self to get it lose and give him a lesson. The hole place was watching me as I stopped, sat down and waved the waitress. " Get the security please!" The guy must have been waiting, in a few seconds a tall muscular guy came in, few words exchanged and he lifted the idiot up to his level and hit his forehead. After that he got thrown out. That was glose to a disaster I guess.
We left too, took a Tuk-tuk home for a work out. Being safe at home, it is great to remember but scary at the time.

Cotisse used to run only to Fianar. Now a premium bus service was established from Tana to Tulear. Nonstop.
The page is a bit silent recently? So tourism is making slow comeback to Madagascar.

Getting there but Tulear was dead in November.
Getting to Tulear, one Bridge in the region of Sakaraha was complete gone. Taxi Brousse had to cross the river.
Tulear was very alive at night, daytime sleepy, but I got organized.
I would regret not have done the journey by taxi Brousse but you need to make the minimum of 3 Stopovers to keep it funny.

I mean prices usually only go one way especially these days. Cheaper cost of visa therefore is a very welcome surprise imo.
Three years ago I paid roughly 740 Euros, last ticket 100 euros more. That's about what I paid in the 90 is from Vienna to London.
The next ticket will bee likely 900 Euros. So what? That is cheap! In addition the low prices in Mada itself, six weeks paradise for peanuts compare to my home.
The Airlink route from Joburg is back. I took the maiden flight last Monday: 23 passengers on a plane with 96 capacity. Note: the flight inbound to Mada half the cost of the outbound. Just is just an FYI; if anybody doesn't like this route, so what.
Totally agree that airfare is cheap.

Compare mada airfares to other hobbying destinations and it is expensive.
Compare mada airfares to other hobbying destinations and it is expensive.Yeah. If you're based in SA it's comparable cheap with Airlink from OR Tambo, since they're back flying. Depends. From Kenya. Ridiculous. I am surprised that Kenyan is still flying. Delta waits for its bankruptcy, then they can pick up the pieces for a song.
From Europe. As we all know. If you're very lucky you get a cheap AF flight. Ethiopian. Good connections. But not exactly on the cheap side either. I have a different problem now as I need an one way flight back to Europe. Actually the cheapest right now. Ethiopian to Paris. AF ridiculous. The problem in the Indian ocean is Air France. Bloody monopolist. They control Air Madagascar and Air Austral as well as Eva Air. . To keep the air fare high.

Yes. For all my fans out there. I survived 4 months in Tana. Right smack in the city center. Around me people getting mugged all the time. LOL. I keep saying Tana offers the best urban survival training there is. It offers an abundance of girls. How to find them? Very easy. At the supermarket for example. At Pizza La Gastronomy. By walking around in weekends in Rue Independence where girls in pairs promenade to pick up boys. Case in point. Yesterday I was approached in the evening by four girls to pay them some cheap street food. We had a great laugh and I took the number of one of them. Since four months I explore another quarter of town every weekend which includes slum areas. I take public transportation. Taxi Be that is. It's only 600 MGA. And more often than not there's a hot girl in the bus. Strike up a conversation, smile and take the number for a future date. I also go to local Karaoke clubs. Great fun. So you can pick up anywhere. Anytime. Essential of course. Basic French and a smile and laugh. Of course you need to be time millionaire. Most people pass through Tana in a hurry. I was forced to stay also to finalize my paperwork for my residencia. Now it's only waiting game. While I avail myself to the carnal delights Tana offers. And there's also a lot of nice cute SWs if you care to look. You just have to know the system. And in my preferred Slum Area I can pick up girls füare 20 k MGA ST. But if you go in there with shorts and Hawaii shirt you probably will be mugged after 100 meters in broad day light unless you know the rules and the dress code.

It was interesting to see wich one of the expats made it brillant and wich one are fallen, by the chosen system.
Clear to me, the cheap ones fail. You need constant good amount of cash and all the time and connection to "home" and the opportunity to leave at any time.
The real problem besides, danger ist not to get bored after a wile. You need a real purpose there.

You can even talk yourself into thinking you're a pirate or something for all the fun you're having. Keep it real.

A quick trip report on my expedition to Mada.
It was quite a short trip and I had a lot of non-mongering activities pencilled in so did not get to partake and explore as much as I would have liked, but still a bit of feedback. The trip started in Tana. I had only something like 35 hours there so only had a chance to visit one establishment. The infamous LE glacier. Visit was relatively early afternoon but still quite a number of options, though only one was anything above what I would call a 5 (and this was maybe a 6. 5). Good service though and stayed as long as I wanted (was actually hard to get rid of when it was time to leave). Around LE glacier itself to me felt relatively safe except a bit less so when it was time to leave and you have a girl with you. Then you are immediately looking like a target and get swarmed by cab drivers / touts. Around hotel Louvre where I stayed actually felt less safe to walk at night and you were constantly harassed by crowds of children and some adults everywhere you walk, but there were some good restaurants near to the hotel to get some great French food.
I had also a stay in Nosy Be. Flying up there from Tana. Flights are relatively expensive especially if you have a lot of luggage but time was not on my side so flying was the only option. I had around a week in Nosy Be. Taxi Be and the bars nearby had some good options, but it is a big shame there is nowhere with a decent crowd of girls in the afternoon. I found nowhere particularly good until around 11 pm at night (and it was rainy season so raining almost every night). The hotel I was staying in was nice but not well located for these bars, so you have a long tuktuk (if you can find a tuktuk near the hotel late at night in the rain) to get to / from the bars each night. Would do things differently if I returned to NOS. Either stay nearer the bars or try and line up a couple of long term girls to stay with you. Taxi Be was also the only place I took a girl from that I had an argument with about money. Every night of the trip I just paid what I felt was reasonable based on what I'd read on this group and never had any complaints, but on my last night in NOS had one girl try it on. Demanding 50 euros plus taxi fare and starting to yell and throw things around and threaten she's going to call some guys up to come over (all of this conversation via Google Translate didn't make things easier! Left a sour taste in the mouth. On the subject of sour mouths personal hygiene was quite an issue for about 50% of the girls I met on this trip which is not something I've encountered in other destinations.
A lot of the stay was in Diego so I had plenty of opportunities there. I'm more a fan of earlier night action so spent more time at La Vihinee than Taxi be (which again gets busy only late). Always managed to find something I liked each night but quality was not exceptional. I also hooked up with one girl that was working at the desk in the hotel I was staying in and another two who were massage girls in the beauty salons around Diego and those last 3 were probably the best of the trip for me with the exception of one Diego Taxi Be girl. Spent some time on the apps in all locations and there are plenty of pretty girls on there (much moreso in Tana than anywhere else) but very unreliable in terms of arriving when agreed and looking like their pictures so did not dabble too much.
Overall my impressions of Mada were that if you speak at least semi-fluent French and have a lot of time up your sleeve it can be a good option. It is also a good option if price is the most important factor to you. I saw plenty of French-speaking expats in the restaurants especially in Diego with very pretty girls who were 1/3 or less of their age and their weight, but these are not the sort of girls you will easily find around the notorious bars especially if you are only there for a short period or do not speak French. In short my feeling is the food is good, there is a lot of natural beauty in the country and a lot of women around for low prices, but there are other countries in Africa that I would return to before I return to Mada. As others on this forum have mentioned I would agree it is a country for advanced African mongers, especially so if you do not speak the language.
A quick trip report on my expedition to Mada.
It was quite a short trip and I had a lot of non-mongering activities pencilled in so did not get to partake and explore as much as I would have liked, but still a bit of feedback. The trip started in Tana. I had only something like 35 hours there so only had a chance to visit one establishment. The infamous LE glacier. Visit was relatively early afternoon but still quite a number of options, though only one was anything above what I would call a 5 (and this was maybe a 6. 5). Good service though and stayed as long as I wanted (was actually hard to get rid of when it was time to leave). Around LE glacier itself to me felt relatively safe except a bit less so when it was time to leave and you have a girl with you. Then you are immediately looking like a target and get swarmed by cab drivers / touts. Around hotel Louvre where I stayed actually felt less safe to walk at night and you were constantly harassed by crowds of children and some adults everywhere you walk, but there were some good restaurants near to the hotel to get some great French food.
I had also a stay in Nosy Be. Flying up there from Tana. Flights are relatively expensive especially if you have a lot of luggage but time was not on my side so flying was the only option. I had around a week in Nosy Be. Taxi Be and the bars nearby had some good options, but it is a big shame there is nowhere with a decent crowd of girls in the afternoon. I found nowhere particularly good until around 11 pm at night (and it was rainy season so raining almost every night). The hotel I was staying in was nice but not well located for these bars, so you have a long tuktuk (if you can find a tuktuk near the hotel late at night in the rain) to get to / from the bars each night. Would do things differently if I returned to NOS. Either stay nearer the bars or try and line up a couple of long term girls to stay with you...Finally a very apt description. You came at the worst possible time. The cyclone season where weather can be sketchy. Arrive with 3 months time and basic French and you might find paradise. Good report. Not like a number of others here who produce only waste of forum space. And you met one of the few Malagasy drama queens who took you for a ride. You probably made it very clear you pay 50 k ariary and she conveniently wanted 50 euros. Voila. That can happen in tourist areas.

Talk a lot but say nothing. That's what I mean.Neddy69 is one of the best contributors here on African countries. Not EVERY post he makes can be full of wisdom and tips for newbies, I enjoy reading what he have to share and he have helped me immensely towards my African journeys.
And there's also a lot of nice cute SWs if you care to look. You just have to know the system
La Buse.I suppose you where talking about the slum areas. Do you mean in the bars?
I suppose you where talking about the slum areas. Do you mean in the bars?Area between hotel Melis and sakamanga was a good hunting ground for sw do not know for today but used to have a good selection of sw when I was in Tana last time 15 years ago and it is not a slum area and I also remember about 20 years ago I used to walk at night between sakamanga to Indra nightclub and never felt unsecure or threatened but would not do it today.
I suppose you where talking about the slum areas. Do you mean in the bars?Both there's bars and SWs. But I'm not talking about the Sole Sakamanga area. That's general knowledge. I'm talking about a different quartier. But as I said. As a Noob you'll not going to last 10 minutes. And even if I mention the name it's no use as you'll not find the places I was shown and was sworn to secrecy. And only very senior member I know personal I'll reveal these locations.

Even if you share maybe just one or few go to check it out. Better enjoy that places yourself till it last!

LOL.I have so far found what I was looking for in Tana, but never heard of a barfine system in Tana. LOL. Once I had a encounter with a petite girl wo calmed to bee a dancer in a strip local, je she was dancing hot with me. Obviously perhaps yet still much to discover.
Neddy69 was in 67 ha.Infos about it on FB Lely panika, prices and services, location advertised. It gives you a idea.
So what is perhaps the pirates secret treasure to overcome boredom? Old news too.
FB Lely panika? Haha.

Is there any reliable FB page to find hookers in Antananarivo? I don't think so. Just go to avenue independence at 7 pm and that's your best bet I think.

Since 67 ha ist mention there for years, t'hats the point. No news. I am not in Fb meetings anyway, waste of time to me. Some in the group rely on it. But the system is obvious by the friends of one business girl you get a journey across the hole country and FB is often used by pros and it is very easy to bee recognized by the make up of it.
And yes, I perhaps belong to the 90 % of the sub-forum user, at least I speak a good enough french and that makes it very easy to get contacts in any circumstances.
I contacted many girls from groups like FB Lely panika but they are not reliable at all, some are fake, some are scam and the rest? I don't know.

That's a good one to think about bevor you considering to visit Mada. Everything is possible there and has to bee taken seriously. LOL. It is a exam you pass or fail, to get your testimonial. I do not want to use to much forum space anymore. Think about the case, the various possible facet and the reasons it is.
A typical day in my paradise. I write this to all fans, lurkers, haters, good, bad, ugly. The average sex tourist has a major problem. Time. You need at least a month better two months to get a feeling and the lay of the land. For example today. I just busted my nut (sans Capote bien sur) in a super sweet (tsara be) girl literally 5 Minutes ago. Flawless tight body, nice be cups (nonos) shy and inexperienced, she would not give a blow job (fady) nor would she tongue kiss. Alas. How does a smooth African operator meet such girls. First of all you have to reach a state of tranquility of total relaxation. I walked around, bought water in SuperU. Then I returned to my hotel. At the way I saw her walking my Toliara queen. Hot short skirts, tiny top. A smile is all it takes. And a compliment in Malagasy (tsara be) to get her attention. All you do is start a conversation. Literally takes 3 minutes to collect the phone number. Which I did. Obviously she was short of funds. Not even five minutes later the phone was ringing. She's hot and if I let her have a shower at my place. As the gentleman I am I agreed naturally. After a good hours shagging her tight wet pussy. I released her with 40 k MGA plus Taxi Be fare 2 k MGA and 5 k to get her friend something to eat at the gargotte. Another day in paradise.

I also speak French fluently.
Prostitution in Mada is legal!
Hence there are not hardly any hookers around, even the Pros in LE Glacier do not call them self's a prostitute. LOL.
So what kind of guy goes mongering and does not know his legal status of what he is doing, just a fool is screwing himself like that. But for certain, to bee right and to get right is a different story especial in Mada. For certain that story is fake but for a reason told in a expatforum too.
https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=950974
To the content of some FB advert, some of it illegal by Mada law. There is a reason why it is there. Just about the same like some of those secret slum Bars, NGO's and Pater Pedro do have a eye on them for a good reason.
(sans Capote bien sur) ? Hmm. Always or sometimes?
Some photos would be nice, no one is posting photos recently?

9 is a great follower of yours, perhaps I have not missed one single post in the past.
But that one leaves me speechless. Did you watch to many lemurs? 47 k MGA in Toliara for a one hour session, no kiss no BJ performed by a professional in miniskirt! Has the world wide inflation finally found its way and got to Mada? How will you meet the month end with your pension as a expat like that, have your balls finally given up and you need it once a month? Well 9 is a charming guy but I paid 50 K in Tana for the night as a maximum. You spoil as you once said, the so called market that way. Do not give up please.
As for pictures, Pokeris deserves my nomination for the OBE with his inspiring shots in the past.
No picture, I allays wondered why you did post only about 5 Ladys only from a distance in the dark. Is there a risk in doing like Pokeris I do not know? Anyway, it kept me off in doing it likewise.
So then what could be the reason?

Hello,
This time I did 15 days at tana and 15 days at Mahajanga.
After 10 trips at Madagascar, I didn't know "ENZOY" , shame on me! I tried, it works.
Even if I am not a singer, I like Karaoke bar for the ambiance.
- at 67 ha you have many but the best is "MIA".
This time I went to the one at the end of " avenue de l' independance" of course not alone! But I am always the only foreigner.
The price for sex is still the same, only the bills in restaurant are bigger since the covid.
Looking forward to go back to play billiards.
Bonus: une " beautée" 20 y of Mahajanga met at Mahajanga.
It was and still is the same system human work it differently out.
Somme step on new ground and just fill it out as it they wish it to bee like. Ignorant.
Somme want it to make as the want it to bee like. Arrogant.
My approach is guided by humility first, I guess. Take it as it is and fit in, find your way.
There are People against prostitution and they can spread false information, for instance.
Money is allays involved and a motor so make it work your way not against you.
Spreading false information. People against prostitution hmm yes that could be true.

Bonus: une " beaute" 20 y of Mahajanga met at Mahajanga.I have been to Tana and did not have much luck in the city despite staying for 2 entire weeks. That being said, it was probably because of Covid. I still had to quarantine for several days. I spent some time with a friend and her sisters that I met online. They were fucking hot and knew what I wanted, letting me do my thing when I was not with them. Definitely not shy but I had paid a fair amount to them before my visit so that's likely why. I was surprised they did not let me put it in their ass and wondering if that's because they are sooo small. Is that anyone else's experience? That was my first time there. Most of my sex tours over the years have been in Asia (very very different). I wish I found ENZOY while I was there!
I had paid a fair amount to them before my visit so that's likely why.!Paying anything "before" is always a stupid idea. You are marked as "walking ATM" by the girls.

Go to Thailand and Morocco. These are anal countries. I don't know where you have been looking for girls. In COVID times there were thousands of street walkers starving. If the City and the Government would not have donated food aid, they'd have starved to death. A mate of mine thoroughly enjoyed himself. He always had live in GFs in his hotel room. He gave them both 5000 MGA a day plus he cooked spaghetti for them in the room as all restaurants were closed. He fucked his ass off during COVID for a song. Do yourself a favor. Don't come back to Madagascar.

La Buse.With all due respect to an experienced Mada monger. Yes, you can find anal, but most girls will not allow it. I have had anal from about 10 girls in my nearly 20 years, and a couple were notable. One was a student type, not found on the street or a bar, but through my work. She was a girlfriend for a few years and absolutely loved it. Like no girl I have known. Almost every session ended with me cumming in her ass, and the anal would give her intense orgasms. Wish she was still with me but that was years ago and she got married to some lucky man. Can't post pics of her, but will of another remarkable girl, this one I saw a few times over couple years around 2014. From a bar in Tana, total PSE, absolutely one of the best at raw sex, intense deep throat, anal and videos. Documentation attached. And there were others. Currently there is a cutie in Nosy Be I can't wait to get back to, also hardcore PSE, was willing to take it, but I literally could not get it in. Will try again on next trip!!

There are girls who offer anal from time to time. I tried anal with a girl in Tulear but it was too tight. It just didn't get in.
I never said there is no anal. But it's very rare.
La Buse.Ten times in 20 years. LOL. Anal is possible in any country. Generally in Africa its not common. Whereas in Morocco it's standard. They offered anal without me even asking. To preserve their virginity. In Madagascar? As you write. Women who do anal do it because they want and enjoy it. But it's not part of the culture like Morocco.

Theres is anal in Madagaskar and some girls like it. It's also adverted in FB and since one can nicely ask, for enough cash its likely to bee on the menu.

Also it accepts visa only and I'm getting a slightly worse rate on visa but what can you do when your other card is being renewed.

I had a nice time in Madagascar. On my first visit to Antananarivo, I found two girls at Glacier, who were a bit older (compared to the girls in the provinces), they were in their late 20's. Cost: 80,000 AR LT per girl. After havin been in the provice I think that this was probably a little bit too expensive. But never mind, I had grest fun. On my second visit to Tana I looked around the clubs but didn't find the right girl. I must have been spoiled by the provinces. I went from my hotel to the clubs when it was dark and took a taxi. So I did what was recommended. When I took a taxi downtown (Independence Avenue) I saw a lot of pretty hookers on the streets. I would have loved to get out of the taxi in order to take a closer look at the girls. However, for security reasons I didn't do that. Hence my question to those who have taken a girl from the streets: how did you do it? Did you go hunting before dark? Or did you walk despite the darkness? Or did you let the taxi stop at the girls? And how expensive are the street girls there? Also: Are there other areas with street prostitution in Tana?

Any cash machine in mada can't give more than 800 k ariary from one go. As they give maximum is 40 notes from one time and biggest note is 20 k ariary so if you make a math is 800 k max.

They like to ask upwards of 50 k. But theres plenty of street girls willing to accept 20 k st when you approach sole hotel area from av independence. Less than 20 k if they really need money or she knows and likes you. There are other places in tana for prosys but really not worth it unless you don't mind shit 2 k AR st rooms. Always walked after darkness. Be extra careful after 8 pm.
Menu du jour is decent in LE glacier but other than that I don't think this place offers anything of value. You may disagree.

Also: Are there other areas with street prostitution in Tana?Yes you did overpaid a bit, but both girls where happy about that amount and give you a good service wich is the most important, walking on avenue de l indépendance at night is not really dangerous (if not so old and in good physical shape) but very annoying because of the beggars, common sense must be used and everything should be fine (no flashing with smart phone, jewellery, etc).
Picking up sw while riding taxi is feasible and a good option as I myself had done it in some other area close to avenue de l indépendance.
Yes there is surely other place in Tana for prostitution but I never look for it but I think the nicest one are roaming place where there is the best chance for them to grab vazaha as the gasy customer are quite cheap Charlie. An other option which worked very well for me is to get a girl who will find and get you girls, I had that sw who the next morning did not wanted to leave and then she told me she would come back again at night with her friend which is very pretty so who I am to refuse that offer told her yes why not send me a video call when you meet her then I said to myself why bother to look for sw so I had her for the rest of my stay in Tana bringing me girls she knew a lot of sw and working girl just had to give her my preference of what I like (deep throat, heavy breast, bubbly ass, not too young 21 not too old <28 ,slim waist etc) kind of expensive cause you always double paid but do the math for airfare hotel meal and other expense and pussy will average 10-15% of all expense.
I am already here in Tamatave at the moment! I didn't also know that it is possible to withdraw 1. 200.000 ariary. But it is possible now with BMOI. Only with visa though no mastercard.
If I was you I never bother that this guy is saying as he never been mada just trolling non sense most of the times. Any cash machine in mada can't give more than 800 k ariary from one go. As they give maximum is 40 notes from one time and biggest note is 20 k ariary so if you make a math is 800 k max.

Went few hours ago just 15 meters from Indra. 800 k max. Maybe specify where you are. Also it accepts visa only and I'm getting a slightly worse rate on visa but what can you do when your other card is being renewed.Use only Revolut but ONLY VISA REVOLUT. Mastercard is rubbish. With the regular Visa credit card the exchange rate plus fees. You loose 16%.

I was at nosybe on end of December and was using BMOI cash machine at ambataloka near pharmacy with my visa card I get 800 k max in one go. I even have receipt on my bank statement. Mastercard works perfect in Africa I been 10 different African countries and always find ATM which takes it. (except Zimbabwe) and I get perfect exchange rate with zero fees for unlimited amounts. Revolut is not so good as it charge 2 percent of currency exchange fee after certain amount. Has much better cards than revolut which don't put any fees at all if you can get them. Mastercard gives a bit better exchange rate most of the times also compare with visa. I have both 2 visas and.
2 Mastercard's cards which I take with me for travel but prefer Mastercard as I get better rates and no charges. So your statement to cut Mastercard and use visa is useless.
I wish I have kept the receipt! But Neddy confirmed this too. It is not a joke!.
All cash machines can give receipt with amount you withdraw at mada so let us see some proof.
16% Huh this is too high. I have regular visa (electron) and I lose around %2 %3 or %4 percent per transaction if there is no extra fee from Madagascar bank. If you have mastercard your best bet is MCB bank in Madagascar no extra fee for foreign cards and 800.000 ariary limit per transaction.
Use only Revolut but ONLY VISA REVOLUT. Mastercard is rubbish. With the regular Visa credit card the exchange rate plus fees. You loose 16%.

Yes I have seen a vazaha (an old one) robbed by small street gangs mostly below 12 years old only 100 meters away from glacier in rue de independence. I was not to far away from the scene but what I could have done. It was so fast. And I don't understand french. The man was around 60,70 years old and the small group of children gangs easily put him on the ground. At least 7, 8 children gangs ha. By the way the man was walking with a girl together (probably from glacier) she did no nothing!.

It has been said I the forum what kind of behavior is potential dangerous in Mada, many times! Some get the kick out of it by looking for SW but after sunset that's looking for trouble. Take care! On my first visit I observed a gang fight just next tho the sole entrance. The doorman with the famous Cowboy hat told me not to go anywhere at the moment.
Do your homework! After my first visit I took French classes again. When you speak just a halfway French you will be able to pick up girls everywhere. No French skills means you are a looser right from the start and you are limiting your self constantly frustrated.
LE Glacier, I have been told; do not sit next to the entrance with your back to the door and watching your mobile while talking with the girls! The boys passing behind the window in your back and will snatch your phone that way easy.
Of course it depends. My Visa credit card charges high rates. And it depends on the Issuer. Generally Visa is the better choice in Africa. Period..Cash is best. Period. But since you go to tourist places with ATM machines, and stay in cheap hotels, it's understandable why you don't go with cash. No matter Africa 'changeing', cash and the man with it is king. Running around with your plastic cards trying to chase bank rates is no way to spend your time. But, ok, we get it; you're scared to death of getting robbed.
The fee was 8'000 A per draft and I did have with maestro allays top rate.

La Buse.Haha tell me where is the big diffrence for me? 1. 2 million in one go or 800 k? I can take 800 k from one go with mastercard after put my card second time and take 800 k again and after again till I reach around 2. 5 million ariary (my bank max limit 500 pound per day for ATM withdrawal). And get zero fees for it with perfect exchange rate. So now sum up: Most visas card gives slightly worst exchange rates than mastercards.
Like example revolut allowed just 200 euros / pounds free ATM withdrawal per month after that charge 2 percent on top on any withdrawal and has just 300 euros / pounds maximum ATM withdrawal limit per day. Also if you use it on weekends its gives very bad exchange rate. Of course in depends from card issuer also but Mastercard for me wins against visa. If you don't use mastercard and don't know advantages or can't get the one who don't have any charges not need share misleading information. I have visas and mastercards and know which is better for me to use in africa to lose less money on using cash machines.

And I have two cards. A Revolut Visa Debit card and a Visa Credit card with a high credit line for emergencies. What everyone else does is of no concern to me. Or more precise I don't give a rats ass.

Cash is the best when you hide it very well. Buf if you are coming here for 3 months, isn't it risky to carry all the money for 3 months? And banks don't give good exchange rates for usd or euro here and small notes worth less. For example 5, 10,20 euro. They give less money for these bills, it is strange isn't it?

If you're life and death to save a fraction of a percent running around to ATMs with your plastic cards, you're likely someone staying in cheap hotels, trying to exist spending as little as possible, like some backpacker in Cambodia. But, if that's your style, getting off with trying to pay a girl as little as possible, well enjoy your lowlife self.
you're likely someone staying in cheap hotels, trying to exist spending as little as possible, .Low-life people don't get a credit card. Assume you are not entitled to get credit and therefore you only can carry cash.
Do it as you like but don't teach the majority here what's right.

I haven't brought cash to Mada for probably 10 years or more, since ATMs became reliable. I never got as good a rate exchanging cash as at an ATM, it was often a hassle to find a good exchange place, and USD are useless otherwise, except as a magnet for theft. Euros are more useful but mostly with ex-pat businesses (tour operators, hotels, not food). Last time I was there, middle 2022, I was able to withdraw 800 k AR from BFV on Nosy Be with my MasterCard debit, and got a rate 4000 AR / USD. Have never seen a limit as high as 1. 2 million, but you can withdraw 800 k as many times as you want up to your own banks daily withdrawal limit.

A credit card is of less use in the brousse.
Change into ariary arriving and you're good to go.
Yes, I am advising what's right: use cash and you don't get stuck somewhere out of the one resource that makes you attractive here -- money.
'Entitled?' Entitled to get a credit card? Are you serious? Banks give them out like a drug dealer gives out free samples to get you addicted. Lowlives are the Banks' best customers.

.No one knows how much cash you have on you when you're running around unless you're an idiot advertizing it.
But they will know you have a credit card the moment you use it -- at ATM or anywhere.
Keep the credit card locked in the safe until you need it for online reservations and flights. Or memorize the number and leave it at home.
Cash is King. Enjoy it while we can before it's virtual currency and goodbye to life as we know it.
If you stay in a brousse then will you be able to hide all the cash you have? It is a bit risky to carry too much I think but anyway everyone is free to do whatever he prefers! This topic is getting a bit boring ha.
One thing is how you get the best deal at the ATM by using witch carte. Mine is the maestro debit.
Second is the question were you use the carte. I did pay allays cash, as they asked for it. Some places asked for a Tax carte de credit.
And yes in the brousse that asked for a pile of cash.
Moste hotel rooms are not safe at all.
New airport looks nice but duty free and others parts are a comedy! Duty free does not even sell any foreign alcohol brands or cigars and prices for local things are double or triple price! Though they sell local Thb beer which is for triple price and it is not cold! Not in a fridge! Haha And finally they don't even accept ariary for payments, even the very small grocery store which sells some soft drinks and sandwiches does not accept ariary! The restaurant is not operating yet. Information from yesterday 26 March.
On the other hand You made it save and clean to there and moste likely you had a great time in Madagaskar. Full of fond memories, get your self three week back to "normal" and checke your health status as it has been reportet by one wretch ho picked up the tripper unprotected on Prep.

As others have said, you don't need to read up on regulations about visas. If you only need 3 weeks, just go. No hassles upon arrival except of course the long wait for all the immigration bullshit to be over. I may be wrong but I am not sure about no USD for visas. I cannot recall for certain but I am pretty sure I used USD for the VOA and it was not an issue. Having the correct amount does help.
As for your 20/40 rule. Most of the time yeah, but I wouldn't use it as an absolute. Would you tell a gorgeous girl to take a hike for 2 euros? I applaud your desire to keep prices and expectations down but don't use 20/40 as a hard and fast rule. A ladies drink in Pattaya or AC is as much or more than a ST in Mada, and you don't need to buy them there!
Have fun and let us know how you make out.
It is not always 20 K ST and 40 K LT. Could be much higher in Tana or Nosy Be. But certainly you will get many girls with these prices.

Artiste is for restaurant only. Hotel is for old French pensioners who like it dark and dingy. Tripolitsa was ok when it was new several years' ago; it's wearing out fast.
Recommendation: Samsara, and note cash rate in person cheaper than on line.
Cheap Choices: Downtown Hotel (has gym). Hotel Pousse-Pousse.

Alternative, where to go for cheap, fast HIV test in Tana?
2. People who go on Prep: any side effects? Where do you get it? How much it cost? How long can you use it for?
3. With regards to money safety, would a backpack with a chain and a lock be a good option? (backpack chained to the bed or other furniture).

1. : Forget it. You can't find a hiv test kit in pharmacy in Madagascar. Bring a lot from home. There are many clinics in Tana, no problem.
2. : Read infos from google, don't ask this question here.)
3. : Yes if the backpack is strong enough.
Hi, I am planning my trip and was wondering.
1. Where to buy cheap, do at home, HIV test in Tana / Noise bay? Or am I better off bringing from home country?
Alternative, where to go for cheap, fast HIV test in Tana?
2. People who go on Prep: any side effects? Where do you get it? How much it cost? How long can you use it for?
3. With regards to money safety, would a backpack with a chain and a lock be a good option? (backpack chained to the bed or other furniture).
Thanks,
It was still closed in last December. It is probably still closed?
Since the topic is being discussed I decided to do a bit of a search of the area and came upon a place called Hotel Pietra. It has some very good recent reviews but I do not recall ever seeing the place walking by. Very near the New Select (whatever happened to that place? Judging by the photos I suspect I am too much of a cheap charlie to stay there! They do not appear to be on any of the booking sites. Anyone stayed and have some idea of price?

Its not cheap hotel I went once here ask about room prices but the reception person told me all rooms is full as they have some conference meeting here. She told me they have just suite premium left for 320 k ariary per night. I don't know other room prices but I guess they will be at least 200 k and up.
3. With regards to money safety, would a backpack with a chain and a lock be a good option? (backpack chained to the bed or other furniture).
Thanks,That's not practical and does not make any sense at all. That is a invitation, a obvious indication that in that backpack must bee something of value. LOL. What does the room made thinking of you?
Passport, ID, Money carte on your body, a copy in your room.
Upper class hotels are more likely to bee safe. Large camera can bee stored on a dusty wardrobe or even better, leave it at home if you constant fear the loss of it.
Travel simpel to the minimum equipped or think about your destination.
HIV tests, just think about the cost of it. How many girls will you test? How about if a girl asks you to test your self in front of her? LOL. Besides she can bee positiv and virulent since a short period and the test will bee negativ.
Prep, the risk of gonorrhea and syphilis is still there.
Official numbers suggest suggest that HIV cases are very low, but that's a confirmed joke. Just talk about the subject with some locals.
How about the old condom? And if you very scared even wear it for a BJ.
Malaria, the cure medicine needs to bee in your medical cit. Seldom used the net over the bed, besides most locals can not afford it.
Again, sorry if will you constant live in fear. Think about it, is it worth it?

Will be travelling to Ile Sainte Marie next month, can anyone recommend a nice beachfront hotel?
Yes if you chain it in a visible way that might create attention for it.
Large camera can bee stored on a dusty wardrobe? Why wouldn't you put in your locked bag? Or in a safe??

Even then, if the camera in there would bee gone how do you suggest to go on? LOL! On top, they might beat you up for accusing them of stealing.
The staff always keeps a secret basic code, by the way for those wich forget on's own birthday date.
Do you mean I should not report my trip here too? This forum becomes nasty and discouraging...This forum is the perfect training ground, do not give up. If you make it her you will make it there. LOL!

For 20 K you get a Breakfast, that's often not what I call a breakfast and that's a few Dollars to me.
Colbert, LE Loufre etc. May do offer what you looking for but not for what I call a few Dollars.
In general you may find not what you here asking for in Mada? I am so sorry.

In Tana right now. Heading towards Manson. May be it's a little early. Outside it's chilly.
Why would anyone ask this here? I wouldn't advise to change any big amount of money with them. Maybe 10, 20, 50 euro ok? I would not do it for any large amount.

There is an exchange office in second floor of Glaciers. You may try that one. Not sure but some banks might give a bit better rate if you are willing to wait 1 hour queue! Don't bring 10,20 euro bills. Just 50 or 100 euro bills. Rate is worse for smaller bills!.

Or change at place across the road from domestic terminal. Other times: Socimad (where it takes a couple minutes).

But the sledgehammer is about to follow in various ways: LOL.
Around hot spots you will get often asked, offered. So at least in one way it works, but I doubt in two ways.

In fall I was in Ambatoloaka, among other places. I was looking for a cheap hotel and therefore I chose Hotel Ambatoloaka on the internet.
The hotel was simply but modernly furnished. When there wasn't a power outage, the room was brightly lit. That's what I want. A particular highlight was a window through which you could look into the shower area from the bed and watch the girl showering. I liked that! The party area (Taxi Be etc.) was within walking distance from the hotel. You could also walk the few hundred meters without worrying about your own safety. This is worth mentioning in Madagascar!
I found the service to be problematic: although the room was supposed to be cleaned every day, it didn't happen. Also a repeated request at the front desk was not successful. This was particularly annoying because I definitely needed fresh, dry towels. Especially for my female guests.
Breakfast (which would have cost extra anyway) I didn't try in the hotel. I preferred to walk a few meters downhill and have either dined with a view of the sea.
Taking girls to the room didn't cause any problems as long as they could prove their age based on their ID.
A negative point was the location: the hotel is not located to the beach. The little walk to the beach in swimwear was too far for me, and I didn't want to leave my clothes somewhere on the beach because I saw the danger of being robbed. So it was difficult to organize to swim (Or does anybody have an idea to organize that without any problems? Next time I will spend a little more and book a hotel right on the beach.

Of the places I've visited in Ambatoloaka, I'd like to highlight Restaurant Zeburger: Great atmosphere, excellent location, right across from Taxi Be. I think back to the food with mixed feelings: on the one hand it looked very tasty, the portions were large. On the other hand, the big crabs weren't done well, which meant that I had to vomit for a few days.
As a friend of the shisha, I. E. The water pipe, I was happy that a shisha was also offered in this restaurant. Of course I ordered a shisha. Unfortunately, I have to say that this was the worst shisha I've ever smoked, both in terms of design and quality of tobacco.
Finally, I have a question for those who know the scene. Because I don't speak French, I've reached my clear limits here. I had the feeling that in this restaurant almost every guest had his personal service. My very pretty waitress took very good care of me. I asked myself: What is the purpose of these girls? Should they only serve? Are they there to keep customers loyal to the restaurant? Could I have asked her to come to the hotel with me? And when would that have been possible: Late in the night, after work?
Just came across a Germann Bankwebsite, credible looking.
2 things got my attention.
The " export " of ariary bils is limited to the maximum of 400 K. I was just below. LOL.
Money-changer need a licence, authorization. Next to the mentioned obstacles in the Street, they can act just as a bite.
Perhaps some " senior " can clarify the subject.

But most of them gladly accept your offer to visit your hotel on their free time like after work, before they start work or on their days off from work. The salaries at most nosybe restaurants for waitress is between 200000-250000 ariary per month max and they usually work 6 days per week so they always need some extra money for surviving or take care of their families. Yes you should ask them for phone number or facebook contacts or ask to come to your hotel. Waitress is always on my list as they are not so hard pro and more sweet compare with disco girls I fucke. The many of them at mada and never get refuse yet for contact.

At Pokeris.
Thank you very much for this fast answer.
I had asked "my" waitress at the Zeburger Restaurant for her day off, but unfortunately I was only for a handful of days in Nosy Be, so that it didn't fit to her day off. So I didn't ask her. But next time I will focus on that, because some of the waitresses were really cuties!
But it surely will take some years until I return to Nosy Be, because there are so many regions of Madagascar I'd like to visit before returning tot his beautiful island!
Here I have a little question: I've visited Madagascar for one month, and I was f. E. in Tulear, Tana, Fianar and Mahajunga. But in no other restaurant I saw that exactly one pretty girl takes care of only one customer like in the Zeburger Restaurant in Nosy Be.
Dear Pokeris, you write that there are.
many of them at madaWhat do you want to say with that:
(a) that you normally try to get the phone number all of the waitresses, in every Restaurant, if you like her? Or.
(b) that there are other Restaurant in Madagascar, that have a numerical proportion guest: waitress like in the Zeburger Restaurant? And which Restaurants in Madagascar have such a policy? I would be interested in visiting these Restaurants, too!
Any girls who do respond are interested in more the just that. If a girl does not respond she is in solid hands or just not interested in sex and cash fore some reason at the moment. They stay just cool or dismissive and that's it. Rarely observed. LOL.
Key again is basic French.

Seems you are never dating girls back in your laidback province?
Get used to local habits. Shisha is not Mada! Get a glass of local rum instead. Ask a girl who smiles at you, be it a waitress or a passer by walking the roads, for her number and use GoogelTranslate to text her: she will sure joining you shortly later in your room.
Restaurants want to sell their food, nothing else.
Girls want to sell their chattes to vahaza's.
Haha let me ask a silly question. Is there anyone in the forum who fucked more then 5 girls in Madagascar in 24 hours?

I would like to know if someone in this forum already try or use ENZOY?
As for me I try it andit is effective.
Haha let me ask a silly question. Is there anyone in the forum who fucked more then 5 girls in Madagascar in 24 hours?" There is no silly questions, just silly answers. ".
I am not sure if this applies also to your question since you quote it a silly question your self.
First of all, who told you that he has fucked 5 girls in a day? I did not. Or do you want to say in other words you did so?
However, I guess that shows that you perhaps watch to many porn movies, where your fantasies likely coming from.
Key note is the same like the money change in the streets, it is possible on the girls side but there are many obstacles on the path. As a Lemourtourist you can draw several Sketchs but the real snares are just known to the residents.
It is all about risk management, to make it a joyfully experience you need much luck or just the fundamental knowledge in wich you lacking at the moment.
Good luck!
I am sure there are some people who did this in this from. I did 6 girls in a day but not in Madagascar.

I am sure there are some people who did this in this from. I did 6 girls in a day but not in Madagascar.).As a younger man in Mombasa, I always took two girls, because it was so cheap, so why not. One day, I had session in morning time, in afternoon and later at night. So I had six girls. But I don't think that can be really counted, last session I was already quite weak. And I don't say that I had six ejaculations.
I remember in Dubai, one American guy was famous for taking often in the afternoon many Chinese girls with him, he had 7, 8, 9 of them. No idea what he did with them, but ladies told me that he did something with each of them. One minute with one lady before changing? That was in Panorama hotel, when it was still mongering place, many years ago.
Foursome two time in 24 hours, meaning you and three two times? Maybe somebody can do it.
I did it in FKK club in Germany. They need to make such a place in Madagascar haha!
That would bee a down step to the sexual wasteland and slum area of Germany with its mentality. No I do not think we need that so see in Paradise Madagaskar. Madagaskar is unique and should stay just like that, for those ho can appreciate.

I was just being sarcastic!The French can be sensitive to talk of German takeovers.
I had to go back to posts from 10-15 years ago to see photos of beautiful Malagasy girls. These were the stuffs that had inspired me to one day visit Madagascar, when I retired.
What happens to all the beautiful photos? I am sure frequent seniors still take photos and videos during their trips.

And yes they did not bother and performed like proud actresses, but that's not beautiful, just hot. LOL. At LE Glacier I would assume for enough cash they all posse. But no faces. Somme sweet girls I just could not ask about it, since I felt my self kind of ignorant to do so.
Anyway, I deleted them all, since I did not take the risk crossing the border with it on my camera and I was never in the Forum wile I was in Mada.
But times are perhaps changing even in Mada too. There is a Pirate museum in Tana, were Pirates with theirs attitude of the past belong too.
Some posts of the past gave the Impression of it. The girls in Mada are kind of naive dump silly things waiting to get used by money tight vahazas. Guided by this given Impressions a newbie can easy end up in expensiv trouble. The today reality is far more complex.
Some days ago I came across a malgache article about sexual harassment in Taxi Brousse. Drivers are now advised to keep a eye on it and report offenders to the police.
It might bee the buccaneer of the past siting no in a cell or spending his last pension money for release.
