Madagascar

[QUOTE=SouthEaster;2258796]Thanks for the boots on the ground reports Neddy. Great info and I am getting jealous hearing of your adventures after being forced to cut short my last trip due to ill health. I tried NB once and didn't like it but obviously Helleville is not the place to stay. Having seen your reports I am minded to give it another go.

Never mind the "expert". You have him pegged, as well as the distinction among different types of pros. For him a non pro is one he can fuck for free. As you pointed out even if you can they still appreciate a few tens of thousand gift. He once screwed a girl in Tamatave who gave him the best head he could remember, mined her for info and then booted her out with 7000 AR!

As for spending an entire stay in Mada near the airport, well make up your own mind about that one.

One note about going to Majunga. Try to go daytime if possible. I did an overnight 3 pm to 2 am and it scared the shit out of me. 2 near crashes and when the driver spotted the far away lights on the horizon he drove like he was Lewis Hamilton seeing the checkered flag!

SE.[/QUOTE]In Hell Ville there is nothing. Ambatoloaka is where the action is. But its nice old town center. Of course you can score there too. Sit in Casa Mofo drink coffee. But its the main town. Busy. Ya talking of night driving I am absolutely not fond of it. But all the busses leave Ambanja at noon and according to my info reach Mahajanga 4 or 5 morning next day. So. Maybe I skip and fly back in style. Tsaradia made airtravel a real option pricewise. A real gamechanger. 110 euros per leg dont bother me at all. Why suffer.
(Just booked evening flight tonite back to Tana. 107 euros. hehe)
Neddy.
As a Senior member pointed out. In Africa only the sun is free. And I'll never shortchange a chica. I pay the going rate everywhere I go but not tourist prices. Right now I pay 30.000. Last chica stayed overnight. Expats pay as low as 20.000 in Amba.

I recently spent one month in Toliara city and one day in Ifaty area. Various girls categories from street girls, Clubs etc to a Normal girls employed or mostly unemployed.

While the majority are black you can find here and there some light brown tall big ass porn star type. Toulier concentration of sexy girls is poor comparing Tana but when you have full month then you will get the type you like.

Eventually I decided to focus on areas outside Tana when more White type of girls can be found. Also no need to fly and food is everyware. But I had a good experience in Tolier 10 times better then Morandava.

Hey guys. Tsaradia is the best invention in Madagascar since sliced bread. Online booking process went without a hitch. Payments can be made with MVola or any major Credit Card. Looking at prices in December. TNR MORANDAVE 111 euros return 84 euros. And. That includes 20 kg checked and 5 kg cabin luggage. Maybe things really start to change in Madagascar. Also real good 4 G in all major towns.

Neddy.

Who from now on will travel in style.

Well. Christmas came early this year guys. WTF. After a flawless flight with Taxi Brousse de l Air I touched down from sweaty Nosy Be to cool and dry Tana. Rode in style to my crib near Gare Soarano. Dumped my stuff and went to Glacier. Hey its Saturday night. Loads of expired Hardware around as usual. Some being picked up by touriste de sexe francais. Ugly broads. Wouldnt touch with a pole. But la Buse takes his pick as usual. There were exactly 2 doable semipros around. Voila. Short spinner with good tits shaking her ass against my crotch giving me an instant boner. But alas je fatigue. A friendly turkish engineer donated me something you cant get in Madagascar. A vero puro cubano Partagas numero 4 Series D. One of my favourite Coronas. So I puffed away. Heaven. Next morning Sunday. In the morning I already had 5 possibilities just by walking around. But mostly expired uglies. Hey they waved down from the balcony when I did my patrol down Rue Benyovsky. O lala.
After a rest I went to Glacier again around 1800. The usual collection of uglies and destitute vazahas slurping on their THB. After gulping down a coke. Time to check the SW scene. Or so I thought. After walking about 80 meters from Glacier I was hit from behind. Tight Coast Spinner from FD attached herself to me. WTF. Perfect body. Vamos promenade avec mois a l Hotel pour fair l amour. Je t aime Madagascar. After relaxing and shower I had two Sessions which I rate top 10 of all times. After Lyonnaise Dining at the Y. Two riding sessions ensued. In between we were watching the major presidential debate of the 2 contenders. I dumped 2 loads. Who needs little helpers if you have a red hot dripping malagasy pussy besides you. I'll share my christmas present with you. She ll come again tomorrow a keeper. Where else can you find a sweet semipro for 50.000 ariary.
Neddy
Who missed most of the presidential debate on TV. Anyway I dont speak malagasy.

Hi everyone,

Thanks a lot to each of you for reporting such interesting contents.

My question is about the weather in the country.

On multiple website, people agreed to say it's very rainy from 01/12 to 31/03.

Some people said it only rains during the night for this period.

If you guys can relate what is actually the truth about weather, I would appreciate a lot.

I'm planning to go to Nosy Be (following Neddy's experience) during March or after.

Thanks a lot.

The Blue Cactus.[/QUOTE]Generally it rains during the night. I had a few rainy nights already in December. No chica will be around. In February the roads will be rivers within minutes. Again. No chica will leave the house. Youll need rubber boots. End of March should be ok though.

Neddy.
Dont forget the tropical thunderstorms called cyclones. They are like the hurricanes in the carribbean. Nosy Be gets rarely hit. It pays to watch the hurricane advisory. I had already a tropical system brewing in November but fizzled out. That said the most rain is received North and East. Driest Southwest like Tulear.

Hey Neddy,

I will be in Tana soon for s 2 days stopover and of course I want to be based close to Glacier. I was at hotel Artistes but rooms are small and dark, the New Select better room but is a noisy brothel at night!

Any advise and price range?

Thanks.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]New Select is shite. A mate of mine was robbed by moonlighting taxi drivers which where recommended by the Hotel staff. I always stay at the Relais de Normandie. In fact. I am there right now. Its a bit farther away near Gare Soarano and close to Indra. I always walk up to Glacier. But not later than 2000. After that I take a Taxi back. The best bang for your buck at 62.500 AR. Chambre tranquilles. Big breakfast for an additional 8000 AR. Super housekeeping. Modern clean rooms. Another option would be Glacier Hotel. Similar price. I haven't checked the rooms but I suspect that they are older.

I had a thorough check of most Hotels but I couldn't find a better deal so far in Tsaralanana.

Neddy.
You owe me a THB GM mate. hehe.

But the Neddy's option seems a good one, will try next time for sure.

I guess its this one ? Hotel Relais Normad http://www.hotel-lerelaisnormand.com/

So all in all, hotel Artistes is a good option, 75 k and safe room. Amazing restaurant always full lunch and dinner. But only 6 rooms easily fully booked.

Glacier hotel pretty old, 65 k but not that good quality I have to say.

It is funny how everyone has a different opinion on the same places. For what it's worth, I stayed at Sole 2 years ago and was underwhelmed to say the least. Small room, shit TV (standard everywhere) Wifi sucked and the outside is blacker than Toby's ass. There are no places to eat and drink nearby and the piece de resistance. The fucking restaurant is vegetarian!

New Select varies a lot. My first stay there was fine. Nice room, good Wifi, staff were friendly and the bed was comfy, not to mention it is 50 metres away from Glacier. I had the first room next to the stairs and did not have any issue with noise from other guests. The next time I was at the end of the hall. The room was smaller (too small) and the Wifi signal was shite. Not bad for 70 K if you get room 101. Having said that I am always open to new / better places and will probably try something different next time.

SE.[/QUOTE]I fully agree. It always depends on the room. Wifi signals. Noise levels. Its my fifth stay at Relais. For example now I have a quiet room away from the street noise. But. In the dead of the night there is a cock crying for hours. Drives me mad. Another time I had a couple shagging most of the night besides my room. Restaurant is decent enough. Around the Corner there are 2 indian Restaurants. And an excellent fast food joint.

Probably Sole is a good bet too. Relais has also bigger and smaller rooms. The disadvantage is maybe that its relatively far from Glacier. Having said that. I never had a problem walking as there is plenty of guards around. Haven't tried to take 2 girls though. Pricewise its the cheapest hotel Downtown. Except a few ST Hotels I surveyed.

Neddy.

Why anyone would travel anywhere to stay in a dump of a hotel is beyond my understanding. OK, they either have no money or that's their comfort zone. For combination of comfort quality at moderate value: in bas ville, Central Hotel. In Haute Ville, Tana Hotel. Viewing the other day, the 3 new hotels across the street from LE Glacier, if you can accept a windowless room, you might like it there. The better and quieter rooms in the back get taken first. But, what's the point of being so close to LE Glacier? Better to stay in Haute ville, walk down the steps by day, or 5 minute taxi after nightfall.

We all have different taste and priorities. If one wants to stay in a posh hotel with a big lobby, sourrounded by group or family travellers -- its his business. If another one likes to stay in a small room with no window but dirt cheap --its also his business.

I did try many hotels in Tana: Sakamanga, Sole, Shanghai, La Varange, Belvedere, NewSelect, Glacier, Les 3 Metis. Name it.

I want to have a clean room, minimum 25 sqm, window or balcony with view, good wifi, firm bed, bathroom in modern design --and most important as fun-traveller: no restriction about whom and how I bring to my room at whatever time of the day or night. No questions asked. In addition at least one of the hot spots at night must be in safe walking distance and for the others, taxis must be easy available.

At the moment the Hotel Tripolista, opp Glacier, is my fav: the new rooms are nicely decorated (choose the room with balcony for 38 EU. The cheap rooms have no window) the elevator goes from ground floor direct to your room floor. Having a gang bang in your room: no one cares. And its located at ground zero of our hobby.

But as said: we all have different fancies.

Arrived last week to Ivato for 30 days trip due to the restriction of visa reported previously. When I got to the immigration I asked for 60 days to test their consistency. Yes I got this time 60 days so maybe I will re-schedule flight back.

Stayed a week in Ivato hotel previously mentioned and non stop sex with mY MILF. Cost is Zero. Then I took the 600 AR white minibus from Ivato to Tana and another taxi from its last stop to my hotel. Same hotel I stay in the last 15 years. 37 K per night.

Bought an electric stove in Ivato for 30 K and a metal Cup to cook my morning coffee. Also bought a pan for 5 k to cook the shrimps for my upcoming beach trips.

Next destination is ile sainte Marie as I saw one ISG guy that has posted some beach modeling photos with a lovely girl so maybe I will get lucky too? Also a few days in Fenoarivo Est in my way back. Last short trip to Sambava to see my GF.

Meanwhile I find Tana is sunny and lovely.

Plus point for the staff. Otherwise, the rooms look nice, but the ones with windows get too much street noise for my taste. Preferred choice of the moment: Tana Hotel.

For super cheap hotel, LE Pave, midpoint between haute and bas'ville is good, clean value (and multiple girl friendly).

Went to air mad office today and the agent told me that they selling only Tsaradia.

Best rates at their website. No such thing as airmad domestically. Now. Price for Dec. Is sky high.

Again. Its a normal day in Tana. Weather very pleasant. Some stores closed but business as usual. I am recovering from last nights nonstop session with my perfect 9. Big breasts. 1. 80 meters. An african cul to die for. Slim waist. I saw her already a couple of days ago in Glacier. Looks like a semipro looking for some argent to pay the rent. We were smiling at each other. She moved in for the kill. Shaking her ass in front of me. But I didn't take her. Until yesterday evening that is. I met the chef de Police municipal of Moroni. Comores. Had a good chat. No probs to get laid in the Comoros. After the THB I wanted to head home. I saw my spinner on the dance floor alone. WTF. Shaking her ass. 60 k pour massage. 2 sessions. Totally wet. Now 3 nights in a row bareback Sessions. Fatigue. A sweet queen from Moramanga. The second night she squeezed me for another 40 k. And you know what. I didn't care. 100 k for 3 bareback sessions. And its Christmas too. And the poor lass has to pay rent. Or so she says. Try what you pay for similar services in the sexual wastelands of Europe. In my eyes I would rate her a Nine. My dick feels perfectly at home in her moist wet pussy. Lazy doggy. Yihaaa.

2 cyclone systems are approaching. INTENSE TROPICAL CYCLONE KENANGA and MODERATE TROPICAL STORM CILIDA. So time to pull the plug.

Who killed a big cucaracha in the bathroom this morning.

Stepping into LE G last Thursday — for the first time in exact two years — and I'm immediately beset upon by a handful of former encounters eager to renew our acquaintance. As if! If I wanted to do do the same thing two years' later, I'the have stayed married. Yet none were over twenty-two, looking good to the unwary, and still doing brisk business, despite the high mileage. But, since I'm only there to mine fresh young things, of which the supply is limited, after a few nights LE G its a waste. After an hour last evening, with nothing of interest, it was on to Manson where the better talent awaited.

[QUOTE=Golfinho;2263392] After an hour last evening, at le glacier with nothing of interest, it was on to Manson where the better talent awaited.[/QUOTE]LOL.

Les belles rotate. First stop Glacier, next one Manson and then Taxi Be.

Found the waitress from Les Artisans. The one who speaks good english. After her duties at Manson and later at Taxi Be and finall in my bed.

All same, all pink insde. Only difference: the later the evening and the more THB consumed the prettier les filles.

Neddy. Enjoy. I can't wait to be back next year.

Don't go there before 2300 hrs. Totally empty. And as Amadeuss pointed out. More or less the same crowd which rotates from Glacier to Manson to Taxi Be. Big venue with the usual Taxi Be Set Up. I have been there twice. There were a few hookers. But the majority well to do malgache couples. Its far off the city center. Music was shite Hiphop Trash. Probably really busy only on Fridays and Saturdays.I find Glacier and after 2300 hrs Manson much more enjoyable. Specially Manson. Good DJ. Gasy Hits. Down and dirty. But also full of same expired hookers as Glacier. I find late afternoon the best time for hunting. I always manage to find 3 or 4 fresh meat there. Not all the chicas have the money to invest in Taxis. All the Taxi Be stop running at 2000 hrs. And there is loads of SWs around up to 2200 which have no money at all and probably are forced to hang out there till the morning. Some of them hot too. For me the best Taxi Be was the one in Tamatave.

Neddy.

[QUOTE=Amadeuss;2263559]Les belles rotate. First stop Glacier, next one Manson and then Taxi Be.[/QUOTE]Not all. Some girls in Manson won't be caught dead in LE Glacier. And it's not on account of the (sic) prohibitive cover; they complain about the 'quality' of the men in LeG (now, that's a laugh). On Monday, or days when there is no cover, some new faces appear. But just because (if business has been good) they invested in better clothes, quality is no better that what is roaming the streets nearby. Take your pick, get her under the shower, and in the good light of your nineteen-dollar-a-night hotel room.

Time to survey the belly of Tana. Yesterday night I went out on foot. No I was not robbed despite it was past 2200 hrs. And anyway its only 300 meters to LE Indra on a well lit road. I stashed my cash in 2 pockets and some in my socks. At the entrance you pay straight for a drink of your liking. Grand THB 6 k. As you enter you are greeted by the waiters in yellow shirts and black ties. The place is dark and dingy. The feeling is as if you enter a dungeon. Fat chains dangle from the ceiling and separate the dance floor from the bar area. You half expect the mistress with whips show up and string you up by the balls. WTF. Some birds loiter around the dance Floor. Some absolutely doable. This joint has Atmosphäre. Good selector. Dance Hall and gasy music is on. I love it. Chicas filter in and out. Suddenly I see some hot Imerina broads walking past. But they disappear in dead ground. An assshaking chica attaches herself to me. An hour of grinding down on my dick ensued. The chica from Morandava knows how to please a man sticking her tongue down my throat. With every THB GM she becomes more beautiful. She is clearly a full pro. But. Sometimes a pro is an advantage. I took her home. Its Christmas and I am charitable guy. I was not disappointed. A tight snatch and she actually has control of her Pussy muscles. Go figure. It was to be another sleepless night. Now I seriously need a rest after my balls have been drained 5 days in a row multiple times.

If you are not afraid. Try LE Indra.

One can claim that with Tsaradia no need any road travel as for 100 Euro you can fly to any city. However don't forget that you need a 40 k taxi to the airport so for short distance city such as Tamatave Cotisse is a good option as you have now morning trip and of course seat selection is available online.

Neddy.[/QUOTE]HM, yes, to say nice for mada and especially tana is sometime not appropriate, I agree.

And also I didn't saw the streets in this area like this, it's a Google maps Pic, but very different from reality, for sure.

I found nothing in Tamatave as always and the main reason is that I don't consume commercial sex. But I saw sexy girl in a brothel next to Cottis main office. The girl was very tall rounded butt with a body of a porn star sh took me to see the room but I told her that my Minibus just about to leave. Price was 20 k as she said. It was 8:30 AM.

Flamboyant hotel going down from year to year as in most rooms the Aircon does not cool. Price daytime of TukTuk is 1 k.

Fenarive Est- A town with a huge hotel problem they all full and without a good room not possible to explore the area. Overall not a place to be.

SM-Yes start of Jan was still full but the main thing is SM was also going down as no maintenance and street look not pleasant. The only club is "first one" and the location is.

Google maps do not show the roads but they do exist.

My next stop is Manakara tomorrow.

I am going to be in Nosy Be from the 20th January for 4 weeks. Anyone who speaks English and fancy's a beer and company let me know.

Now don't be lazy and expect us to serve you chocolate for free. Sit down and search in this forum. All is said here already.

I certainly made a mistake coming to Foulpointe alone. As has been recommended by others, get your girl from Tamatave or elsewhere. Its hard to find a partner in Foulpointe, especially if you don't speak French. I saw a bunch of pretty girls but they were with family or group of friends and it was not easy to talk to them. I went to the little village with a few restaurants thrice to try my luck. The language barrier was very real and the 3-4 girls I tried talking to just smiled, looked around, and went away. I guess everyone knows everyone and they didn't want to be seen with a vazaha. Last evening in town, my driver and I stopped at a small bar on the main drag for a beer. There were two waitresses and just for fun, I kept looking at one of them and smiling. She was on the voluptuous side with an exquisite spherical bottom and see cup breasts placed high up under her chin. When I ordered my beer, I looked straight at her and said "Tsara Be" (you are beautiful). She smiled and the other waitress gave her a thumbs up. I settled with my beer. The first few times she looked at me, she averted her gaze but then she started smiling back. I waved her over once to order a bottle of water and asked her name, age (23), and made small talk. She talked to me but seemed very reserved because the boss was sitting around and my driver was paying full attention and making a formal interview out of it. I mentioned that she must be tired working all day (actually, sitting around) and she complained that she had to work till 1 am. Bummer. I kept working on my beer with the occasional smiles. Until the boss walked out.

I walked over to her and asked her where the toilet was. She first pointed it to me. But I said why don't you come and show me. With a wink and a smile. We went towards the back of the building and as soon as we were out of the main hall, I held her from behind, she turned towards me and puckered her lips for a kiss. The bathroom was a dingy and smelly place. I peed while she stood outside looking the other way. I came back and hugged her, kissed her again. She started walking back to the main hall when I held her arm back. I tried to pull her towards the bathroom though I really didn't want to go inside! She signaled the opposite direction. And we walked into a store room of sorts. We kissed despite her bad breath and she loved having her boobs squeezed. She actually pulled her bra up so I could squeeze them properly. She pulled her nipples hard when I ran my hand down her denim shorts and into a pretty hairy pussy. I turned her around and humped her with my right hand down her shorts and the left hand squeezing and pulling on a nipple. The shorts were too tight to do anything more. All of a sudden the other waitress called out to her and she quick ran into the storeroom to fix her clothes while I ran towards the main hall. That was the end of our quick encounter. It took me a full beer to come back to my senses. I gave her my hotel name and bungalow number and she promised to come at night after work to finish what we had started. She gave me her phone number but didn't pick up any of my calls later in the evening. I didn't hold much hope and called it a night around 10 pm. On the beach, everything goes silent after 9 pm.

There was a knock on my door late at night, and I was a little startled, maybe a little scared, because my bungalow was right on the beach. I called out and the security guy responded, so I opened the door. Sure enough she was standing behind him with a big smile. I thanked the guard and, though I was too sleepy for any action, took her in. There was an awkward silence when we just looked at each other. And then I pulled her towards me, pulled up her top, down with the bra and pulled her nipple. She moaned and aggressively got out of her top and bra as I squeezed and pinched and nibbled on her nipples. While sucking her nipples, I pulled her shorts and panties down to play with her soft and well-rounded butt cheeks. She loved it rough and intense and her energy drove my sleep away. When I got my hands between her legs, she stopped me and signaled that she wanted to shower. I admired her beauty and energy while she took a leisurely shower and soaped herself twice all over. She loved me pinching her nipples and pulling her towards me. We had some rough play on the bed that culminated in her sitting on my chest and bending over so her pussy was in my face and with one stroke pulling my pajama shorts off and taking junior all the way in her mouth. Generally, I don't like going down on hairy pussies, but this one was different. She rubbed her pussy all over my mouth, nose, and chin while sucking my dick me aggressively. She held my butt cheeks apart as she sucked me and inserted one finger in my bottom when I was close to climax. The orgasm was mind-blowing and she swallowed it all. And kept my dick in her mouth until it was soft again. Then, she got off me, and licked me all over again to clean me up. I couldn't tell if this was real or a dream. Twenty minutes later, I was ready for the second round. She rid me while I squeezed her nipples and we ended in doggy. With her bent over the desk and feeling me slide in and out of her while slapping against her soft cheeks. I spanked her hard when I came. She hadn't come yet and wanted a third time. That I couldn't deliver. I fingered her till she orgasmed and we fell asleep exhausted. She woke me in the morning by licking my balls and trying to wake up junior. I fucked her in missionary for a good 30-40 minutes. We could hear people talking outside and I am sure they could hear us too. It was magical.

At 8:30, my massage therapist (an elderly lady who gave me an excellent massage the previous morning) knocked on the door. I was too drained and happy to get up. My girl put on her towel around her waist and opened the top part of the door (the bungalows have a split door). The massage lady was about to come inside and so I got up, covered my privates with my hand, and asked her to wait outside. The massage lady laughed when she saw me naked and my girl topless with a little towel barely covering her bottom. She just stood there and kept looking at us. I put on my briefs while my girl put on her shorts and bra, under the watchful eye of the massage lady. We walked out to the beach and found a nice little tree, under which I got an excellent 1. 5 hour oil massage while my girl just sat there and chatted with the massage lady. There was one funny moment when the lady was working on my belly and I got a boner that popped out of my briefs. She asked my girl to take care of it and my girl dutifully slipped it back inside my briefs. At the end of the massage, I thanked the lady and paid the fee (15,000 including a 3,000 tip) expecting that she would leave and I would take my girl back in the room. That was not to be. The two women kept on chatting. I was in no hurry. There was a nice cold breeze blowing, the shade of the small tree was comfortable, and there wasn't a soul on the beach besides the three of us. I put my head in my girls lap and just relaxed for a while, with an occasional lick of her belly button (which she received with an energetic spasm in her belly). I was so relaxed and getting so turned on that I started raising my head up and trying to lick the underside of her boob or jam my tongue between her chest and the bra. The massage lady said something to which my girl laughed loudly. They both looked up and down the beach to see who else was there, and then my girl gave me a big smile, and removed her bra completely to let her boobs fall on my face. I played and sucked on her boobs like a child for the next 30-40 minutes while she was yapping away with the massage lady. While she gave me a few random pecks on the cheek or ran her hands through my hair when I sucked too hard, she continued her conversation like I wasn't even there. When I took a break and looked up at the sky, she would again give me a quick kiss and offer me her breast!

Finally, the massage lady left and we walked back to my room. My girl just walked around topless and greeted the staff at the hotel. It was amazing to see how open she was about her body and her sexuality! We had two rounds of intense sex in the room before I had to pack up and leave for Tamatave. I gave her some chocolates but she refused to take any money, saying that she did not need it. She asked me to get shampoo the next time I was there! Using google translate, I asked her later what the massage lady had said that caused her to remove her bra. Apparently, she said "your baby is hungry for your breasts. " She said "no, there are people around," to which the massage lady said no one is here so give him your love". If only the rest of the world was as open about love and sex. ! Love can be found in the most unexpected of places. This chance encounter broke a 3-4 day dry spell because Fenoarive was a complete dud. I am sure there are plenty of pretty girls but the language barrier is huge and you need more time for non-pro action. The rest of my trip was good. Pulled a really tiny 5'1", 45 kg spinner from Badoo. She was a freebie with a great body and attitude but no natural skills or energy in bed. Manambato was far and boring with absolutely no action. Need to bring your own girl with you. The waitress from Foulpointe was certainly the highlight of the trip, and hence this detailed post. 
.

Hey Lalecs1, thought you were lost somewhere in mada, but no, even if I agree that language should be a difficult barrier, I read your post with again a great pleasure!

After Tamatave-Fenarive-SM trip I took another journey as follow.

[B]Fianarantsoa[/B]- Similar to Tana but worst. When its rain the city roads are become rivers like hulk from avengers become mad. I got there but online reservation with cottiss.

[B]Manakara[/B]- Took a TB from Fianarantsoa and stayed in Hotel Resto Delices [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/9D2TmFHYWnF2[/URL] for 40 k. SIDI Hotel has apartments at 3rd floor that are better then any Hilton room anywhere in the world but its around 150 k. [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/C7hCQ1QZfAD2[/URL] the place to eat is "La Maison de Poulet" around here [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/aDjqjEkJfay[/URL] just 100 m from the hotel.

The city has two part separated by bridge the beach part of the city has stunning view similar and better then Sambava its around here [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/wmrGUHRbLmC2[/URL].

They selling huge coconuts for drink for 300 AR only.

The area for mongering is around SIDI hotel that has disco and Hotel Resto Delices several semi Pro hanging around but all hotel stuff can be taken. The big problem was lack of water and electricity most of the time due to City maintenance operation and upgrades.

Also in the beach part of the city several girls can be found. So its a big colorful clean town. I went back to Fianarantsoa with a private driver.

[B]Antsirabe[/B]- This is a nice city but look dead, I used it as a transit point to Tana.

Next city Majunga.

Fianar: there are a lot of opportunites on dating boards. Also there is a rotten bar named Chez Charlie. Ample FL's there. Not the class of Tana but dirty and wild.

Fianar is a good place for a 1 day stopover if you use Cotisse-TaxiBrousse to go to Tulear.

And in comparison: Disco Paradise is said t be open every night. Anyone was there lately?

It seems good times are over for longterm Mada travellers. Visa on arrival is only available for 2 months any more. As of mid November 3 months is not available any more. Also it was corrected on the official french embassy homepage. Which doesn't mean a friendly official is selling you any stamp for a fee.

But there it is.

Well that sucks big time. I am planning a trip mid June and it was going to be for 3 months. Am I correct in assuming that if this does not kick in until November I should not have a problem? Any ideas on whether or not it will still be available after November ahead of time through an Embassy. If I had plenty of time in advance I (or anyone) could do it that way. Saves the hassle at the airport too.

Where did you end up after Nosy Be or was that the end of your stay?

In Tana the extension is nightmare. Anyway Mada now has nothing to offer I think its my last trip and I am already two month on the ground.

A personal friend of mine did it in December and he is not a liar OK? Believe it or not up to you.

I did a check here from France on Mada Embassy web site and on visa-en-[URL]ligne.com[/URL], both says that for tourists visa can be of 1, 2 or 3 months.

After Nosy Be I spent 3 weeks in Tana. See my posts. I didn't like the city in particular but was too lazy to explore any other places as I had 2 really nice chics.

[QUOTE=Neddy69;2281737]I didn't like the city in particular but was too lazy to explore any other places as I had 2 really nice chics.[/QUOTE]Not lazy. When you know how boring the other places can be, it's harder to motivate yourself out of Tana. And Tana is easier to like when you're not staying in a dump. New hotel, I stayed in for New Years' can be highly recommended: Tamboho Suites.

No three month visa, no problem. Six weeks in Mada plenty of time.

Maybe a little more light will shine on the topic after a few guys arrive and actually try to get a 3 month. If they bother to post. I guess I will just wait and see. Might motivate me try another country in Africa. Who knows.

SE.

Best method to wait in the reception. Tana is a dump you walk you fall to a hole or peoples will spit without looking and the worst part is that in the mainland Africa there are better looking girls.

I would say a well plan trip for 3 weeks is fine. I have 10 days more now from my 2 month trip. Next destination Bhair Dar Etiopia.

According to my sources the validity of the visa was only 2 months during the elections period. It s back to normal now. You can have 3 months visa again at the airport until further notice so nothing to worry about for those who want to stay long time here.

I have yet to visit Madagascar and am thinking about going later this spring. BUT I know nothing about this country and respectfully am asking board members for help in making my stay as enjoyable as possible. As usual, I have precious little time. I can stay for max one week. So I will not have time to travel around much. I gather that Toamasina is relatively close by so I can take a bus? Are there other destinations that can be reached by bus in a few hours?

There is a direct flight to Antananarivo from Europe so I am thinking I'll stay put there. But then I think maybe Nosy Bee might be better even if I have to make a connection somewhere en route. What sayeth you?

My questions are a typical newbies so I ask for your indulgence. I should add that I speak fluent French.

1. Where should I stay? Which hotels are GF friendly? Do I need to pay a joiner fee?

2. Where is the action at? Clubs, cafes, WG streets, etc.

3. And what about the girls? I'the like to hang with a slender young girl with minimum body damage. Where should I look? What can I expect? The reports on this board sound very enticing.

4. Prices seem very low by comparison to other destinations. How much is a typical punt?

5. Finally, do I need to get a visa beforehand or is it easily available upon arrival?

Please PM me if you not feel like sharing with everyone on the board.

I am well-informed about other venues in Asia and Europe if can be of help to you.

Thank you for your help.

[QUOTE=RoamingViking;2282154]

1. Where should I stay? Which hotels are GF friendly? Do I need to pay a joiner fee?
--Anywhere, depending on your budget. No hotel ask for joiner fee, only ID of the girl

2. Where is the action at? Clubs, cafes, WG streets, etc.
--Read the forum... so many places are explained. Depends all on your preferences.

3. And what about the girls? I'the like to hang with a slender young girl with minimum body damage. Where should I look? What can I expect?
---Anywhere -- if you able to pick up a girl in your home country, you definitely can do it in Mada as well

4. Prices seem very low by comparison to other destinations. How much is a typical punt?
--for a newcomer as you are : 100.000 MGA, which is just 25 EU. So what..
once you read the reports here, you will find great infos how to negotiate further.

5. Finally, do I need to get a visa beforehand or is it easily available upon arrival?
---Was just written about a few topics down the thread

Please PM me if you not feel like sharing with everyone on the board.
---Why? this board is to exchange infos but not to hide them

I am well-informed about other venues in Asia and Europe if can be of help to you.

[/QUOTE]And if you have a specific question which was not answered here before, I think most of the oldtimers will be happy to help.

Got it?

Visit yesterday Saturday at midnight. Place was full can not move, so so looking girls maybe better then any working girls in other cities but day and night with supermodel students that you can find in Kampala Uganda for example. In fact I took nothing.

The worst part was the street kids outside the place each one holding another one year baby. Total 6 kids holding babies were run after me for 100 meter distance. More clubs in the basement next to shoprite here [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/QTuNa4Mcqpv[/URL] and also full of girls some street girls near.

I Came to Tana from two weeks in Majunga and the "port du mer" has many girls hunting, some with questionable age. The common of all cites is all girls look very hardcore and very little chance to get better quality as you can easily pick any girls in some of the east african countries. Anyway "La Suite 101" club in Tana is live and kicking its near my hotel.

[URL]https://goo.gl/maps/wEGHL1wE39r[/URL] there also local bar opposite the club around here [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/LidNBKASSPH2[/URL] this area has less beggars and more easy to breath.

One last things two police try to stop me walking asking passport I didn't stop and keep walking fast. While walking away told them that its in my hotel room, then one was asking which hotel I told him the name while increasing my speed as I disappeared. Since I have a week now before my bahir dar trip I will try some MP around this area.

I also never take taxi so if a police call me I just keep walking and tell them that everything OK. So they can run after me or arrest me or go fuck themselves. They never run after me as I increase my speed when they start to call me.

Also in Thailand when police officer flag me to stop I increase my motorbike speed and disappear. In Tana I just walking but same idea.

Thank you for your help.[/QUOTE]First of all, don't waste your time, don't travel around, infrastructure is not very well. Decide for one destination. I would recommend Nosy Be for one week. Antananarivo is not a place for holiday.

1. Nosy Be, Hotels, Nobody knows what you expect. Send them an email or call them. Here are hotels recommend. Check this thread.

2. Ambatoloaka, at the clubs and at the beach. Small area, everything is easy to find.

3. Girls, you'll find them or they'll find you (clubs or beach). Another option are dating apps like Badoo or tinder. There are more. Download badoo and start to communicate with them now and later meet them in a restaurant or anywhere else.

4. Price depends on you and the girls and of course how long do you spend your time together. You speak fluently french, that's good for you to negotiate, so always speak French. If you are not sure how much to pay sit down in a bar and talk to other guys around they can share experiences and prices. It's not expensive. Talk about the price before you go to the hotel!

5. Visa on arrival at the Airport. I think about 35€ for one month.

[QUOTE=NmExpert;2281842]I stay in a dump 39 k per night it also used as a short time hotel, thin walls moaning every night. Girls come and go so you can take them back to your room or collect number.

Best method to wait in the reception. Tana is a dump you walk you fall to a hole or peoples will spit without looking and the worst part is that in the mainland Africa there are better looking girls.

I would say a well plan trip for 3 weeks is fine. I have 10 days more now from my 2 month trip. Next destination Bhair Dar Etiopia.[/QUOTE]Hello Nmexpert,

You can't receive private message. I am going to stay some weeks in Tana and I am interesting with the name of your hotel as I can 't find it on google map.

Is it safe enough to stay? Are there a receptionist and a guardian 24 h /24 h?

Any other advises of cheap hotel, I mean less than 60000 AR?

Thanks in advance.

The club next to the new shoprite and underneath the Tana Hotel? Its clientele is Arab and sub-continentals, a cohort not known for seeking out best quality which is reflected by the women who go there.

La Suite 101: as of a month ago, as before, it's only open weekends, and attracts the more affluent and better dressed Malagasy. Tell us all about what you picked up there, NmExpert.

[QUOTE=IAmTheBest007;2282444]Since when? Before the elections a certified copy of passport made at the city hall was always accepted.[/QUOTE]Correct. In the past it was ok. I also used a copy of the visa page but together with my original ID (not passport) and it was accepted. On the travel advise page of France for Mada I did read this: "En particulier dans l'agglomération the'Antananarivo, mais aussi de plus en plus dans les villes seeôtières touristiques, ont lieu LE soir et la nuit, des contrôles de police. Il est fortement conseillé de toujours avoir LE passeport avec vous. Une copie the'identité certifiée ne suffit pas. ".

And NmExpert: you may be a good runner. But they are good shooters as well. To play with those thughs because of a problem to be settled with 10.000 MGA risking whatever?

The expert's thriftiness is becoming legendary. Not to mention his declaration every year or 2 that Mada has nothing to offer and he won't be back, only to return next year with a new user name.

I lived years in Mtwapa Kenya and has some disputes with girls over 1000 bob sometimes is was ended with brutal punches and blood to the face. But give me 500 years to evolve to reach your level of the European culture. So I will do everything to avoid confrontation. Meanwhile I am the one that initiate them when needed.

And about Amadeus comment let me tell you its has nothing to do with Logic as its "only Small money" its about Ego, cultures, money. Look around you this is why all wars are starting not because of any logic and motivation to avoid confrontation.

[QUOTE=NmExpert;2282448]I walk all the way from "La Suite 101" to Manson. I never carry passport or anything at night for the last 15 years.

Also in Thailand when police officer flag me to stop I increase my motorbike speed and disappear. In Tana I just walking but same idea.[/QUOTE]You don't take taxi at night and you don't carry passport with you. Seems to me you are asking for troubles buddy. You might not get lucky all the time.

Hi guys,

Long time no more info about Nosy. And besides, all what I've found is very ambivalent. I love beach and chilling but most important is for sure our hobby. I plan my next trip and I have already seen Tana, Toliar and Tamatave. Every city has his advantages and disadvantages but all in all I have loved it. Nosy Be is totally different? Now it's time for me for something new. Experts, what would you say? Maybe some recommendations? Would be great!

Your place is Ambatoloaka. It's small and everything is easy to find. You already have experiences, go there. I'm sure you will enjoy this place. Beaches, chilling, party, good food.

Neddy was also there a couple months back and posted loads of info. Did you even try to go back more than 1 page?

SE.

Thanks to all. I have of course already read the old entries about NB in this forum. My intention was to collect more impressions / opinions because of the ambivalent statements and the older ones are eventually not really up to date. But I think I will give NB a try!

Some words about the listed cities. It's just my opinion and I'm a bit strange. My french language skill is max A1. But doesn't matter. First of all: Mada is not save, especially at night in dark surroundings. So always be careful and everywhere you go you should wear your passport. I don't want to explain exactly but sadly I have made my experiences. Accept of hotel and transportation everything is very cheap. But transportation is really complicated.

Tana: It's more interesting as I have expected. You can find good food, sweet girls are everywhere and when you was not successful over the day go in one of the clubs at night. My favorite is Indra. Buy a beer at the entry and breath the crazy hot atmosphere.

Toliar / Ifaty: Totally different and all more relaxing. Everywhere these pus-pus, big markets, good restaurants also, some discos all in one street, not many foreigners. I can't describe the vibe. North of Toliar is Mangily. It's a paradise if you are in one of these bungalows at the beach. I didn't want to leave.

Tamatave: More green, not nice beach, also the beach in Foulpointe is not really nice. Difficult to go there but I have had a motorbike. I've driven with my bike in the north of Tamatave. This beach. Whauuu. Not for swimming because of sharks and currents but the nature. So many kilometers just sand, ocean and jungle, unbelievable. Many clubs with sweet girls but I guess that most of them are really pros. But who cares?

Sorry about my English skills. But you should hear my French.

Hi all so I am about to make reservations for a short trip to Tana but I am wondering about safety. I may stay in SOLE hotel. Any tips about this hotel are greatly appreciated as well as advice about staying safe in Tana. Reading some of the posts on this forum I do not get the impression it is very safe after dark and.

Also, I am wondering about the best place to meet really nice looking Malgashy women.

And advice is much appreciated.

I will be arriving late on the AF flight form Paris and also wonder about taxi. What is the best way to get to my hotel. How much?

Thanks.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]Hotel Sole is ok. Tana isn't safe, especially when it's dark. Be careful and use always a taxi, when its dark. It's cheap. Don't except anyone else inside the taxi than the driver. Your friend, buddy is ok. Always lock the door. Talk about the price before, always. When you go out you always need your passport, no ID card, driving license or anything else. Original Passport! Once ago a legalized copy was ok, but that should changed.

Best place is glacier (not fare away from sole hotel). During the nighttime use a taxi. But there are more places.

[URL]https://maps.me/catalog/recreation/amenity-nightclub/country-madagasikara/[/URL]

Online dating, tinder or badoo is also an option. There are more.

At the airport there are many taxis, the original taxis have a license. Some don't have a license. Store your luggage at the back and make sure it's locked. The normal rate is 50.000 Ariary or 12,5 Euro. ATM and money exchange at the airport. Make sure that you have the correct address of your hotel. Many people don't speak English, not even one word. Communication is difficult or you speak French.

Sole Hotel offers an airport pick up service for 60.000 Ariary or 70.000 Ariary. It's the easiest way and not much more expensive.
Safety advice, you travel alone? Don’t be an easy target, don’t be drunken and walk around. No expensive clothes, watch, cam or anything else. Put your money and valuables in the safety box.
That sounds more difficult or dangerous than it is, just be careful and everything is fine.

Thank you for your very helpful advice. First time for me in Tana and I am still not sure that I am going. Are the girls really worth it? And what about the "new" law against consorting with WGs?

Cheers.

Mada isn't for everybody. If you go check the girls yourself and make your own opinion. Speaking French is a must.

Go to Madagascar, but stay in Tana as long as necessary. Spend the rest of your time anywhere else. I cannot recommend Tana for vacation. There are recommendations for many different places on this board. Without speaking French it's difficult or complicated, but not impossible. I was at Nosy Be, better than Tana. I can recommend this place, especially for a first trip. If you write more detailed what do you expect from a Madagascar or Tana trip, others could recommend some nice other places.

Malagasy penal code:

"The facts of helping, assisting, protecting, sharing the proceeds of the prostitution of others, of maintaining even with his consent a person for the purpose of prostitution, of acting as an intermediary between persons engaging in prostitution or debauchery are punishable:

ART 334,334 bis and 335 of the Malagasy Penal Code.

Any manager, manager, hotel clerk or other establishment accepting or tolerating the presence of any person engaged in prostitution shall be punished with the penalty of:

- 5 to 10 imprisonment and a fine of 4,000,000 to 40,000,000 Ariary.

You forgot an important point. Under 18 years. Otherwise you could shut down ALL hotels. And the prisons would be full of gasy men. As long as she has ID stating she is 18 years and above everything is cool. If the ID has been bought or the Village elder certified another age... thats a different story... And what happens deep in La Brousse another story again.....

Neddy.

Madagascar selectively criminalised consensual adult-to-adult prostitution but applied the new law to foreign tourists only. It was underlined by a French TF1-channel documentary in 2008 (links below, in French) during which several male tourists were arrested in Nosy Be. Some spent months in jail as they arranged to bribe their way out of a law permitting sentences of up to 10 years.

Clearly the French authorities, through the use of national TV to collaborate with Madagascan law enforcement, were intent on scaring-off sex tourists. But the subsequent fallout and loss of tourism earnings apparently dissuaded the country from invoking the consenting-adult sex-tourist law in such a well-publicised manner again. In 2009 the army ordered incumbent president Marc Ravalomanana onto a Joburg-bound plane at gunpoint; a fractious decade of political and economic instability ensued. The Malagasy still weakly enforce the pre-existing law against sex with mineurs but it is a sad fact that UNICEF discovered 75% of the local men who patronised prostitutes were using mineurs.

The age of consent in Madagascar used to be 14 years before. As it is until this very day in several European countries. The main reason many african countries raised age of consent also Kenya BTW was to stop [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord902][CodeWord902][/url] girls being married off against their will and consent to wealthier older locals. Basically girls were sold off by their destitute families. Still happens to this very day. All this so called Sextourist crap is just pure rhetoric as we all well know. Ya I know about that TF1 documentary. As I said. You might as well declare the whole of Madagascar an open air prison. Lock up 80% of the male population and that includes La Police. And hard to prove. I just slept with my girlfriend and gave her taxi money in the morning. Try to prove otherwise. You might as well declare shagging illegal. And judging by all the posts so far I classify you as lurker who recyles old information on the internet without ever having had the guts to fly to Madagascar or elsewhere for that matter.

Quickly packed out my stuff have a shower and 22.00 pm have girl already at my room from afrointroductions 20 years old student very cute face and big tits with great body she speak little bit english but friendly and nice girl. Before she come she ask can I pay her taxi 5 k because its a night time I said no worries just come. She was good at bed and I could last long cum in 5-7 minutes. Make some photos together. I give her 40 k in total included roundtrip taxi money. She don't complain and ask can she see me again soon. The girl left I take a taxi and went to taxi be its looks much better for me than antananarivo venue. Sunday night and it was busy mixed crowd malagasy guys, girls, sex tourist. Buy some thb beer for 5 k small bottle have some food and was looking girls, some girl come to me and said you remember me? I said from where? She said we go saintie marie before together and at this time I remember her but she was looking worn up and not good like before probably from drinking everyday! I pretend I not remember her and she left. Have couple beers more collect one phone number and comeback hotel didint take any girl.

Hi everybody. I am going to nosy-be in September, please tell me about cheap apartments on Ambatoloak for a month.

Most newbies at least pretend to have read previous reports and done some searches. I suggest you do the same and then come back with the questions. There is plenty of info on Nosy from the last few months and this forum isn't 10,000 pages long.

SE.

Its time to write some report about my 1 week stay at tamatave because have some time now going back tana with cottise. Honestly probably it was my best african trip from 6 diffrent african countries I visited for mongering. Girls have here better attitudes, very rare late at meetings, don't make big dramas and give great performance at bed, just a problem almost any girl speak english but google translator helps a lot. Also madagascar is very cheap compare with other african countries.

In 1 week time at tamatave I have 15 diffrent girls all was great have just one small drama all girls was between 18-25 years old allowed many pic, including naked and some videos. Girls don't have good phones here with nice cameras so they are happy if you make pic for them and after send on facebook or whatsapp.

Girls prices: most of the times I pay for short time between 30-40 k ariary but couple of times give girls 50-60 k k for great performance like ass licking and other things and if they stay as long as I want.

Long time I was paying 50 k ariary most of the times. Most girls I take was facebook friends, taxi be girls, la terrasse girls.

Streetwalkers: the road between la queens club and la terrasee its calling boulevard joffre at night time have 5-15 street girls also they hanging around la queens and sharkis bar. They even here on strong rain standing with umbrellas!! One night I was walking this road and ask one girl how much she want? She told me 40 k ariary I just laugh and walking away she shout ok 20000 ariary come, but this girl was not my type.

Nightlife on weekdays best places to find girls are la queens, la terrasse and taxi be. 2 years ago la queens was great place, but when taxi be is open it goes worst not so busy like anymore.

On weekend I checked other places:

Club la paradise: on Friday night it was busy don't see any foreigners just many local malagasy guys have some beer and left. Some girls suggest me before don't go this place because security is not good here a lot of stealing and fighting.

Club pandora: entry fee was 10 k ariary have live band not so much people any foreigners stay little bit and left.

Club pattaya: entry fee was 10 k ariary was fully packed, was playing nice music many girls and local guys also couple foreigners.

New York club modern nice place its good for chilling or to come smoke shisha on Friday night it was not so busy.

Neptune hotel I think also have disco but I didint check out this place.

Transport: most of the times I use pus pus it paid 1 k ariary (locals pay less like 500-700 ariary).

Taxi prices is 5 k. Tuk tuk I pay 2-5 k ariary depends from distance (locals also pay less.).

Kamagra prices at pharmacy is 8800 ariary for 4 tablets 50 mg works good. I try couple of them.

Monthly salaries :for unskilled people still same low! One waitress i fucked told me she getting 140000 ariary per month and other sales assistant girl i fucked told me her colegues at work getting from 150-200k per month depends from expierence.

Threesomes: I have 2 diffrent threesomes at tamatave one of them was my best 3 some I have in my life! It was proper one: girls was playing each other, licking pussy, kissing and all other things I want. They stay more than 3 hours, both was really beautiful with great bodies allowed many pic and some videos. I give them 60 k each for this not forgetable performance. Other 2 girls also was good I give them 40 k each stay couple of hours.

Smal Drama girl: I take a girl from taxi be we agree all night for 50 k I fucked her she was good at bed. In a morning she asking me 90 k I just laugh and give her 50 k and told go! She was not leaving and ask more money again. I get angry take her hand and take her out from my room and lock the doors. She was knocking the doors and said I am sorry I don't want more money let me stay with you!! I told her bye!! She left later she call me and send apologize sms I just block her on my phone.

Local Brothels near cottise transport:

I was going to buy my van ticket back to tana and decided to check this place just for fun and some adventures. If you entry cotisse transport area from petrol station on a left side you see girls sitting near houses and calling you to come in. It was maybe 6-7 girls outside not good looking one of them was so so I decided give a go. I walk and girl take me to the room I ask how much for sex? She told me 30 k ariary and 5 k for room I just smile and said this room 5 k its for all week? Seems she not understand what I mean. I told no!! I. give you 20 k for everything and she agree. She suck me for a while after put condom I fucked her little bit but even don't bother to cum it was hot inside so I decided save my power for other girl and left. I will add pic of the room of this place.

Have a great time at madagascar really enjoy this trip!

Some girls pic from this trip.

[QUOTE=Pokeris;2296442]Some girls pic from this trip.[/QUOTE]Taxi be girls?

Greater reports Pokeris, thanks a lot.

[QUOTE=NmExpert;2296451]Taxi be girls?[/QUOTE]Yes have couple from taxi be, but anyway girls is moving at tamatave first all sitting at la terrase and around 23.00 all going to taxi be.

Arrived from tamatave the journey takes 8. 5 hours with some traffic. Check in again at sole hotel and ask to book me a taxi after 6 hours to airport. Taxi price 60 k you can get cheaper on the road but night time with all my bellongings I prefer take hotel taxi.

Have a quick shower and went to la glacier around 7 pm evening was live band maybe 20-25 girls inside and around 5 foreigners. I saw the girl I like and start chat with her on google translator. I offered her 40 k for 1 hour she text me 60 k. I told her I want 1 h not all night price and she agree for 40 k. She was good at bed and make me cum.

Later I went to manson but around 9 pm it was way to early just 10-15 people inside I have one beer and take a taxi back to la glacier. Around 21.45 pm was more people I saw the girl I like and start conversation on google translator, same story I offer 40 k for short time she want 60 k but quickly agree on 40 k. We comeback hotel I fucked her so hard even broke something inside her pussy and a lot of blood come it was not nice and it turns me off. I take a shower girl also, later she make me blowjob and I cum I give her 50 k. Girl left I prepared wait a taxi and left for airport.

Which hotel do you stay at Tamatave? Which price?

So many girls and photos in 1 week! No one of them wants to stay longer with you, I mean, want to see you again and stay with you?

One girl in Antalaha come to see me again with one of her friend in the morning after she left me, she knocked at my door. She told me that she will call the police if I don t erase the photo of her that I took last night. I erase but I retrieve them later.

She was angry that I didn't stay with her.

Sole at Tana, good location, but must be careful cause some rooms don't have windows and the others have small windows, not good for pictures unless it is at night!

Pokeris in Majunga and Tamatave the price for bajaj is fixed and is the same for everybody locals or not. 1 k.

Taxi price in Majunga and Tamatave is fixed. 3000 AR everywhere you go.

Too much trouble with pousse pousse I wouldn't recommend them since they charge same prices than bajaj.

[QUOTE=Pokeris;2296717]Arrived from tamatave the journey takes 8. 5 hours with some traffic. Check in again at sole hotel [/QUOTE]Nice reports and photos. Thanks.

Which hotel do you stay at Tamatave? Do the girls ask you more to take them in pictures? Some are without the head, do you remove it or the girl didn't want you to take her face?

I have trouble one day at Antahala with one girl that I asked to leave after one night together. I took pictures of her at night and 1 hour after after she left she come back with a girl friend and knocked at my room 's door.

She asked me to erase the pictures if not she will call the police! I erase the pictures in front of her but I retrieve them 10 minutes after with a software. Same thing happened to me in Tana 10 years ago, I have to throw a memory card, but.

I didn't throw the one with the picture, I throw an empty one.

In 1 week you get 15 girls, but the girls must recognize you and thought that you are a butterfly, how do you manage this?

I saw that you are adventurous by visiting the brothel near Cotisse at Tamatave. So do you already try the girls on the streets near the Sole Hotel? There are many.

At sole hotel you must be careful cause some rooms didn't have windows, and the ones which have are small, so not nice to take good pictures or video but at night it didn't make any difference.

At La Terasse and Taxi Be is the hardcore. Why get off your barstool in Angeles City or Pattaya for that even if you can get them for like twenty dollars. The beauty of Africa and this country is you can start talking to any girl (unaccompanied during the day) that catches your eye. You can be sure they most likely have nothing to do and will trade phone numbers. In Tamatave, staying at Sharon Hotel, nearly all girls accept invitation for a swim at the pool and it's a great way to preview them. Any girl out alone after dark is looking for a revenue producing evening, but too many single moms. Tsaradia return flight to Tana is 6:20 pm Daily at the moment ($87 usd with bag) no reason to subject yourself to the Cotisse ordeal.

Note: VIP club next to Hotel Neptune.

[QUOTE=IAmTheBest007;2296752]Pokeris in Majunga and Tamatave the price for bajaj is fixed and is the same for everybody locals or not. 1 k.[/QUOTE]True but at night its 1.5 k in Tamatave. Majunga always 1 k no matter distance, day, or night.

Almost all girls I meet want repeat with me! They was calling and texting me almost everyday. Like example I fucked one girl next day I come to eat at la terrase and saw her sitting next to me on diffrent table I say Hi for her and order the food and beer and start look at my phone. At this time she start send me her naked photos of her on my facebook. I look at her and smile. She text me in french language do you want me lets go now? I said baby next time. After 20 minutes I saw other girl at la terrase and take her instead. Even the girls saw I take everyday 2-3 diffrent girls they still want repeat and don't care. It just pure business. They are so desperate about money its not so many tourist like thailand or philippines and some of them go without costumers some nights. Here is easy even get girl 7-10 am morning you just text them or call and they come on time. (not like kenyan or ugandian girls sleep till 2 pm and late 1-2 hour at meeting).

You pay girls for sex so its your right to choose which girl you want to fuck and also most of girls at la terasse and taxi be know each other or are friends so if you fuck one others will know it. Some girls from taxi be and la terrase told me many girls like you here because you young and fuck good. I told them back: I also pay maybe what's why they like me?

Tamatave girls are great can't complain about their services.

Sole hotel at tana is fine I was staying here 4 times and never get a room without window. You should make a note for them you want room with window if you book on agoda. I saw freelancers near sole hotel but i never try them most of them is not good looking.

[QUOTE=NmExpert;2296990]True but at night its 1.5 k in Tamatave. Majunga always 1 k no matter distance, day, or night.[/QUOTE]Thanks seems I overpay for long distance like from pandora to pattaya club at night I pay 5 k for tuk tuk. Also for taxis I pay 5 k I never know its just 3 k even some girls told me taxis is 5 k at night.

At night, it's 5 k in Tamatave. It's better to pay 5 k for the tuk tuk than take a risk by paying 1.5 k. You never know what can happen.

Again taxis are 3 k. The fare of 5 k at night is BS. If you know the driver or speak some Malagasy you never pay 5 k.

So I will not be able to come to Madagascar now and probably not until Christmas. I had so much been looking forward to it and had made several good contacts on FD dating. Does anyone have any god feedback on this site?

BUT my boss decided otherwise and I have to stay put here.

HOWEVER, I will be going to Thailand soon to tie up some business. So I guess I should not complain too much.

But I wish to thank al of you out there for your helpful advice. T will come in handy when I do go to Madagascar ad hopefully I can spend a week or more discovering all the joys of this island.

Thanks.

Any advice on a good hotel in Majunga near the center (action) for under AR 100,000? I saw that NewMadaExpert recommended a couple last year, wondering if there is any other opinions or more recent info. And any opinions about discos / bars? I was there very long ago, more than 10 years I think, and there was a hopping place called Shakira (when the singer was very popular) and a smoky bar with pool tables called, uhm, "Rock and roll cafe"? Found some very hot spinners.

Thanks for input.

Very clean rooms, good A/C, nice pool and most of all a very good restaurant.

That's also important in order to stay healthy in the tropics.

Thanks for input.[/QUOTE]I was last month or so in Majunga and I stayed in "hotel central" and Anjary hotel. Each has its cons and prons. Central is 55 k and anjary is 80 k. Central is always near full booked as it used as Monger hotel. It has WiFi and A/C but it basic. Some room the A/C and mattress are weak so check all rooms.

Anjary is a step up in every way. I even took a friq from 100 k room and moved it into my 80 k room.

"Port de mer" is the main mongering area so just walk or take tuk tuk for 1000. For 1 k you can go everywhere in every time including night with a tuktik.

Port de mer has it all including some scams so first thing you check very carefully the ID of the girls. You will get all kind of offers there. I did the trip with a car but for next time better to fly.

Mada Expert.[/QUOTE]My buddy and I stayed at the Coco Lodge. Forget the price. But the location was pretty nice. Hotel is ok, food is very good and the pool area is pleasant. The cool thing was that we could basically walk across the street and we were at the taxi be. The quality there was uneven. Certainly some acceptable ones.

The other thing nice about the location is that it was not far to walk to Shakira and the other bar next to it. Forget the name. Also uneven quality but some winners.

Finally, an underused opportunity was the walking around the area by the ocean beach (the malecon). Lots of goodies there that were obviously on the prowl and the occasional looker. My buddy totally scored a winner there just by saying Hello,. I, due to my negligible french was not able to fully take advantage but it is all there. Looks like prime time walking around there maybe 7 to 10 ish. Depending on the day of course.

Where is Port de Mer? Not sure that we hit that place.

[QUOTE=Concarne;2300544]Where is Port de Mer? Not sure that we hit that place.[/QUOTE]Ocean beach (the malecon) is a Dominican republic terminology, beach road is Thailand term and "port du mer" is the same exact thing used in Mada.

So in Majunga if you want to go to the Malecon aka beach road you tell the TukTuk driver Port du Mer.

Same place.

A bord de mer. Malecon. All the same. On the sea shore. My french was non existent 5 years ago. Now its decent enough thanks to this superb app called mille. Basically its a a vocabulary trainer available for android. I can hold my own talking simple french with 1000 words. Now I try to tackle kiswahili. Its just so much more fun to understand the language and immerse yourself in malgache culture.

Amadeuss is right. Little chance you will have time to get through immigration, buy a ticket and catch your flight. Last time I went I was through immigration and out the door in under 30 minutes. The time before that it was 2 hours and 30 minutes! He is also spot on about not being in a hurry. Buy online and be prepared to lose it or just say to hell with it and spend a few days in Tana if you must wait for a flight. That is what I do now, even though I used to hate Tana, my last trip I found it tolerable!

Hi,

I am planning a one month trip to Madagascar, including a one week stay in Nosy Be during the last week of April. Should I be worried about the rain that time of year in Nosy Be? I can stand an occasional shower but would prefer to avoid long days with no sun in sight or worse: long rain showers for hours on end (I have had bad experiences in Mada). As photography is my hobby (besides P2P) I like to walk around a lot during day time, with rather vulnerable camera equipment. Persistent rain would kill that alternative hobby. Of course I checked the weather stats, but they only provide general reports and I would therefore much prefer first-hand experience.

Also, can one expect girls in good numbers by that time and season of late April in Nosy Be? How 'seasonal' is the supply?

Alternatively, I might postpone my visit to Nosy Be until the 2nd week of May, but with considerable disadvantages for my schedule in other respects. Would the travel plan difference (last week of April vs 2nd week of May) be sufficiently critical to be considered seriously? Or would it be negligible weather-wise and girl-wise? Again, I would very much appreciate first-hand experiences as they often provide more concrete detail. Thanks in advance!

Eliminating Tana completely.

The road deteriorated last rainy season. Even my mate a Nosy Be resident flew back from Tana as it took him 5 hours longer as usual. I'd personally fly. Or if you do only Nosy Be as NMExpert pointed out fly direct with Ethiopian.

Hey guys,

Am planning to come to tana for a short 3 day business trip, just needed some advice.

Is the place safe to walk around? Airport immigration and baggage and security is it safe or do I have to bribe around everyone and anyone? I don't speak much french be hence the concern.

And ya good places to pick up chicks, clean ones.

Would be great if I can get some pointers.

Thanks!

First you tell Pokeris to avoid the Ambanja. Diego road because it is hell and not worth it. Then you say land in Nosy Be and take the same road to avoid Tana. Make up your mind.

Neddy the last rainy season wiped out the road much like the last rainy season before it and the one before etc etc! I suspect it is always shit and always will be. 2 years ago I ran into a French expat in the immigration line who said some blah blah development bank was going to fix it soon. Sure. Next.

As for 2799. No it is not safe. You will be robbed and raped before you even get out of the airport parking lot. Do not come without and armed bodyguard and thousand of dollars for bribes. Fuck, did you even read back one page?

At the airport you need to give sometimes money to skip luggage control at customs. But small note of €5 is fine.

Not speaking French is a problem because few people speak English and many times only Malgasy language.

So expect a language barrier.

Arround the airport there are lots of massage places. Chica Soa is a good upscale place.

And in town LE Glacier and LE Manson are the best pick up places.

Neddy,

You have been so kind to provide an overview of some accommodations in Nosy Be. You quote Hotel Ylang-ylang for 50-60 k. However, on the internet they advertise a double room for 45! Could the difference between pre-booking and on the spot negotiation indeed be that large? I would be surprised. I know that in general it is better not to prebook. However, I will arrive at NB airport around 18:00 o'clock and would prefer not to have too much hassle finding a decent hotel that late in the evening. Any suggestions (from anyone)?

The problem with ylang ylang is that it is fully booked most of the time. Try hotel ody. No need to prebook. Better negotiate on the spot.

I am a bit confused too. Apparently you can book online for what seems to be a very good price, so what is stopping you? If you are worried you won't like it book it for a few days and have a look around for something more to your taste.

Right now I just arrived in Tulear. So far I didn't have time yet to explore. Hotel Serena seems a decent place. But where is the action here? Arriving from a more moderate climate I must admit it is damn hot here. I will postpone exploring until the late afternoon. And will report later. Thanks in advance for anyone with useful information.

Visited Tulear and Mangily from 24 to 31 December 2018 (3 nights in Tulear and 4 nights in Mangily). Although, there was not much to do in Tulear during the day, Mangily is a nice place to hang around for a few days.

So, let me describe my stay there.

I had a stopover of one day in Reunion Island during both trips Mauritius to Tulear and back as Air Austral does not have connecting flights within a reasonable delay. I caught an Air Austral flight from Mauritius at 6 pm On Sunday 23 December and reached Reunion Island at around 6. 50 pm Stayed overnight in an Airbnb. The flight from Reunion Island to Tulear has a stopover of over one hour at Fort Dauphin. The Tulear airport is very small but the building is new and clean. Although, citizens of Mauritius do not have to pay for the visa, we still have to get a document from the visa counter before the immigration Officer stamps the passport.

There were a few taxis outside the airport building in the parking area. I was quoted MGA 25,000 to drop at the Serena Hotel. One Tuk tuk driver quoted MGA 20,000. Finally, one taxi driver convinced me to pay MGA 13,000. I had no choice as it was really hot standing in the parking area.

It took me around 20 minutes to reach Serena Hotel.

I stayed at Senera Hotel for two nights before going to Mangily and one night after coming back from Mangily and before flying out of Tulear. The first two nights, I stayed in the Deluxe Room 202 on the second floor. If you book directly with the hotel, the room rate is MGA 95,000 but since I booked through [URL]booking.com[/URL], I paid around 111,500 MGA per night.

The Deluxe Rooms are quite big. Two towels were provided in the bathroom together with toiletries. There is good water pressure in the rain shower. Hot water is also available.

The bed was comfortable. The AC works well and is not noisy. Internet is quite fast. There are only 6 TV Channels.

Breakfast is served on the same floor as the reception but it is only basic: tea / coffee, juice, eggs, croissant.

The staff are very kind and helpful. There is no issue of bringing a guest but she has to leave the ID at the reception.

On my return journey, I had booked a Double Room which is found on the first floor. Since the room is small and there are frequent movements in the lobby and the reception, I requested a room on the second floor. This time I paid MGA 108,000 only and I was given room 201. Room 202 is better than room 201. In Room 201, there is some inconvenience as water spills over while taking shower. The Hotel should fix a shower curtain to avoid this problem.

Etoile de Mer restaurant.

It is located on Boulevard Lyautey. If you are coming from Serena Hotel, turn to your right. It is a few metres away from Amazone Hotel. Etoile de Mer restaurant is big place with tables both inside and outside. I went there for dinner on 24 December at around 8 pm. However, there were very few people at the time. I had ordered gratin au crabe (MGA 15,000) and filet poisson plus purée de pomme de terre (MGA 20,000). The portion served was adequate. But a little expensive for Madagascar standard. At first, I sat outside so that I can have a look at Tam Tam disco. I had to move inside the restaurant as the breeze was too strong and also as it was Monday, Tam Tam was closed.

LE Jardin restaurant.

If you walk from Serena Hotel, just after Central Hotel, there is Lalana Raseta. LE Jardin restaurant is found on this road. People know this restaurant as LE Jardin de Gian Carlo. As I wanted to have sea foods, I had to choose from panier or assiette fruits de mer. I was informed that panier fruits de mer is suitable for a family. So, I chose assiette fruits de mer at MGA 37,000. Well, it is huge platter of sea food such that two or even three people can eat from it. As it was Christmas, the restaurant was crowded. May be it is very popular with local people.

Corto Maltese restaurant.

It is located on Lalana Raseta just before LE Jardin restaurant de Gian Carlo. The restaurant serves sea food and brochette. However, I had vegetable pasta which quite good. Although it is a nice place, the service is slow.

Oasis Café.

It is located at the end of a corridor a few metres away from Serena hotel. Nice and cosy place. It serves mainly pizzas and burgers. I had a pizza which was quite good.

I reached Hotel Serena at around 1. 30 pm I was allocated room 202 on the 2nd floor. It was very hot and very tired after the flight from reunion Island with a stopover at Fort Dauphin. I slept at around 1.45 pm. I woke up at around 3.30 pm.

I enquired at the reception where I can change Euros into MGA. The lady at the reception indicated one shop a few metres on the same side as the hotel. I changed 1 Euro at MGA 4,000. Not sure whether the bank was open on that time on the eve of Christmas.

I walked to Score Hypermarket to buy some food items in case there were no restaurants open. Back to Serena, I took a nap. I woke up at around 6. 30 pm, showered, secured my luggage and walked towards Amazone Hotel where I met one girl. Started a conversation with the girl sitting on the steps of Amazone hotel as she showed some interest. I asked her what she doing there, to which she replied, she was looking for a boy, understandably not very fluent in French. As I started walking towards L'Etoile de mer restaurant, the girl asked whether she could accompany me, I just told her may be some other time.

So, I had dinner at L'Etoile de mer restaurant, which is a few metres away from Amazone Hotel on the same side. At first I sat outside so that I have a look at Tam Tam Disco but the wind was very strong and as it was Monday, Tam Tam was closed.

After dinner, I came to the crossroads just in front of Amazone Hotel, many girls walking around with some smiling and others flirting. I smiled at one girl and asked her whether she would like to come to my hotel, she agreed. When I asked for her "carte", she said she had forgotten it at home but she can have from one of her friends. I declined.

After walking along Boulevard Lyautey, I came back to the crossroads in front of Amazone Hotel. After a few minutes, I saw one girl who attracted me. I smiled and she responded. I asked the same question and she agreed and had her "carte"also. So, off we went to Serena Hotel, hand in hand.

I went to the reception so that she can leave her ID. The night staff was a man. He didn't say anything.

In the room, she said her name was Lauremsia, 20 years old. She was short, may be 5 feet tall, slim, fair complexion, curly hair, good size boobs and very sexy ass. We showered together during which she gave a BBBJ with lots of cuddling and kisses. I also fingered her there.

After drying ourselves, on the bed we started again with kisses and hugging. She did give a very good BBBJ and we did in many positions, missionary, doggy, she on top. She was a little tight. I asked her whether we can try anal, she accepted. We tried but not successful, she was very tight, mine is big and there was no Vaseline.

We enjoyed for around 90 minutes, then showered. I took her number and asked whether she would like to accompany me to Mangily as I was going there on 26 December. She said she would let me know when I would phone her.

I saw her till the reception and gave her MGA 30,000. She left very happy and I returned to my room, very tired and slept at around 11 pm.

I woke up at around 6.30 am. Went to the reception with clothes for laundry. I had breakfast at Serena Hotel, on the same floor as the reception: croissant, poached eggs, juice and tea. Back to room, as I was still feeling tired, slept from 9 am to 12.30 pm. After waking up, lazed on the bed reading newspaper and surfed on the net. I could see from the window, the weather outside was sunny and very hot. The roads were deserted.

Took shower, secured my belongings and walked to restaurant "LE Jardin de Gian Carlo" and had lunch at around 2. 30 pm. Back to Serena Hotel, took a nap. Woke up at 6. 30 pm Showered, secured luggage and walked towards Amazone Hotel. The roads were crowded. Lots of young people. Many enjoying Christmas Party. There was a musical concert in the public garden in front of Amazone Hotel.

I walked around with lots of girls smiling and flirting. I met one girl Noëlla, 20 years old, who was 2 friends. She agreed to come to hotel but didn't have her "carte" with her and it would take her one hour to fetch it. I declined. I also asked her whether she would be willing to accompany me to Mangily, she agreed, so I took her mobile number and told her I would phone her on 26 December in the morning before going to Mangily.

I met another girl, Nathalie. She agreed to come to Serena Hotel. We walked together to the hotel. Left her ID at the reception. We showered together. Had a great time with Nathalie. She was thin, a little tall, dark complexion, long sexy legs, good size boobs and a great ass. We tried different positions. She enjoyed the sex as much as me and we finished with she on top.

Cleaned, showered, gave her MGA 30,000 and saw her till the reception. Nathalie did not have a mobile, so could not share. Back in the room, surfed on the net and slept again at around midnight.

She turned out not to have an inkling about good sex. I'll explore again today. So are there any good suggestions for Tulear? I extended my prebooked stay here in Tulear because I remember Neddy recommending Tulear as, I believe, "the best place in Madagascar". I now regret my decision. Any good advice, please?

Then on right at Hotel Amazone, on the boulevard Lyautey, restaurant L'Etoile de Mer is a good place to eat and watch girls walking on the boulevard.

Girls hang on the boulevard when the night come and long after.

May be there are other places which i don't know.

And try to go to Ifaty, less than 1 hour by cyclopouss, nice small village with wonderful beach and hotels, massage girls on the beach, and some others hanging in the village at night, or bring your own from tulear...

I am wring reports from my visit to Tulear and not answering your question (s). However, if you need advice, when you walk from Serena Hotel before you reach Amazone hotel, you will find few night clubs on your right hand side where you can find lots of girls. Just greet and smile and see their reaction. If they are interested, they will reciprocate. Otherwise, from Amazone Hotel you walk along the Boulevard Lyautey in both directions, lots of girls in the evening. Make eye contact with those you like, there will be few who will respond back. If you can converse in French, it will be better to communicate with them. After visiting Toamasina before, I find Tulear as good or better for girls.

Sure some working girls but I found daytime to be better around the market and evening around Pizza Gastro. Toulier for me is not a place to come back the action is not consistent and I was there for a month.

[QUOTE=Manfield04;2310791]I reached Hotel Serena at around 1. 30 pm I was allocated room 202 on the 2nd floor. It was very hot and very tired after the flight from reunion Island with a stopover at Fort Dauphin. I slept at around 1.45 pm. I woke up at around 3.30 pm.

I enquired at the reception where I can change Euros into MGA. The lady at the reception indicated one shop a few metres on the same side as the hotel. I changed 1 Euro at MGA 4,000. Not sure whether the bank was open on that time on the eve of Christmas.

I walked to Score Hypermarket to buy some food items in case there were no restaurants open. Back to Serena, I took a nap. I woke up at around 6. 30 pm, showered, secured my luggage and walked towards Amazone Hotel where I met one girl. Started a conversation with the girl sitting on the steps of Amazone hotel as she showed some interest. I asked her what she doing there, to which she replied, she was looking for a boy, understandably not very fluent in French. As I started walking towards L'Etoile de mer restaurant, the girl asked whether she could accompany me, I just told her may be some other time.

So, I had dinner at L'Etoile de mer restaurant, which is a few metres away from Amazone Hotel on the same side. At first I sat outside so that I have a look at Tam Tam Disco but the wind was very strong and as it was Monday, Tam Tam was closed.

After dinner, I came to the crossroads just in front of Amazone Hotel, many girls walking around with some smiling and others flirting. I smiled at one girl and asked her whether she would like to come to my hotel, she agreed. When I asked for her "carte", she said she had forgotten it at home but she can have from one of her friends. I declined.

After walking along Boulevard Lyautey, I came back to the crossroads in front of Amazone Hotel. After a few minutes, I saw one girl who attracted me. I smiled and she responded. I asked the same question and she agreed and had her "carte"also. So, off we went to Serena Hotel, hand in hand.

I went to the reception so that she can leave her ID. The night staff was a man. He didn't say anything.

In the room, she said her name was Lauremsia, 20 years old. She was short, may be 5 feet tall, slim, fair complexion, curly hair, good size boobs and very sexy ass. We showered together during which she gave a BBBJ with lots of cuddling and kisses. I also fingered her there.

After drying ourselves, on the bed we started again with kisses and hugging. She did give a very good BBBJ and we did in many positions, missionary, doggy, she on top. She was a little tight. I asked her whether we can try anal, she accepted. We tried but not successful, she was very tight, mine is big and there was no Vaseline.

We enjoyed for around 90 minutes, then showered. I took her number and asked whether she would like to accompany me to Mangily as I was going there on 26 December. She said she would let me know when I would phone her.

I saw her till the reception and gave her MGA 30,000. She left very happy and I returned to my room, very tired and slept at around 11 pm.[/QUOTE]Great report, Mansfield! Keep up the good work.

Looking forward to read your report about Mangily.

At what time the night guard starts his shift at Serena hotel?

I woke late in the morning, showered packed my luggage and checked out of my room. I walked to the reception to inform them I would be checking out. In the meantime, I had breakfast at Serena Hotel restaurant, same as previous day: croissant, poached eggs, tea and juice.

Kept my luggage at the reception and walked to Telma Shop which is a few metres away on the other side of the road from Serena Hotel. I bought one Telma SIM Card.

There were few taxis beside the Telma shop. So, enquired about dropping me off at Mangily. One taxi proposed MGA 60,000. Another one also proposed MGA 60,000 but came down to MGA 50,000 immediately when I was trying to walk away. Finally we agreed at that price.

Collected my luggage from Serena Hotel reception, paid my bill for 2 nights and off to the taxi stand. Phoned both Lauremsia and Noëlla to ask whether either of them would agree to accompany me to Mangily. Unfortunately, no reply from either of them. So we left Tulear at around 10.40 am.

Mangily reports will come soon.

If you read back it looks like Manfield was there for a week last year just before new year. How he remembers his trip in such detail after 4 months I don't know!

How do I remember such details after four months? Do you know a small book where people write their stuff? It's called a diary.

My question is does anyone know if there is a difference in online booking prices and on the ground offices with Tsaradia like there was with Air Mada? I know it was often 10-20% cheaper to buy once in the country compared to online.

My observation is can anybody think of a reason why flight prices to Diego are so erratic? I was looking online for around the end of June and the lowest I saw was 123 euro all the way up to 206! This was over a span of about 2 weeks. The average was probably about 150. Just for the hell of it I looked at Tulear for the same period and it was quite consistent with fares between about 90 and 110 and NB a bit more variation but again from about 100 to 130. I can't think there are so many bookings made for Diego 2 months in advance that the prices have risen that much so what's up?

Another question that just occurred to me. Now that they have transitioned to Tsaradia is the service / on time results any better or just the prices? If I had to guess I would say the latter.

SE.

[QUOTE=SouthEaster;2314018]prices have risen that much so what's up?.[/QUOTE]I saw it too its gone up dramatically so again the solution is to land with your international flight in Nosy be and forget all domestic flights. I was at the office trying to hunt prices but bad idea since you will face fully booked flights at astronomic rates.

Unfortunately that is not an option. I have already booked a return flight to Tana and plan to visit every major city. That means an awful lot of taxi brousse travel or flying. I am thinking of doing the Cotisse trip to Diego now that they offer the route, then overland (I know one of the worst roads in the country) to the boat to NB and then flying back to Tana. Other destinations can all be done by Cotisse and / or other companies like to Tulear. Will probably TB there and fly back as I am going for almost 3 months so I have lots of time and want to see what that route overland is like anyway.

Since I have the luxury of time I am not worried about fully booked flights. I could buy a ticket for NB to Tana in Tana or Diego 3-4 weeks before I need it. Should still be plenty of available seats in that time frame.

I know it is a couple months away but I will post on my dealings with Tsaradia for up to date info when I get there.

SE.[/QUOTE]In fact Air Mad office uses the same online booking platform. No difference in prices. The prices depends how fast a flight is filling up. The more bookings the higher the price. Tsaradia hired more pilots and leased more ATR 72's. So far its far more reliable and flight cancellations seems to be a thing of the past.

I think Diego is only one flight a day versus Nosy Be 2 flights daily. Apparently Tsaradia is under german management.
Its quite possible that there are more bookings for Diego as there is quite a number of rich karanes and french expats. Last time in Mada it was also not easy to find a seat to Diego. I booked in Air Mad at that time. The employee said: Gasy people have money... Look at the vanilla price...

I will make report how it was. I agree with people who says tsaradia price increase. I was looking for a flight tana-diego it was 240 euros one way if I was booked 1 week ago before my trip.

Neddy.[/QUOTE]I explored all of this recently, and there is now no advantage to buying in country, and there are no longer local vs tourist (Vazaha) prices as Air Mad used to do. I used to get local friends to buy my tickets in country and paid a lot less then I would online. Now the online prices are the same as going to the office in country. There are several levels however, ranging from no checked baggage (cheapest), to baggage but no changes, to changes with fee but not refundable, to fully refundable (most expensive). And as you get closer to the flight date the cheaper classes start to disappear, so they are apparently limited in seat number (like fare categories on most other airlines. Madagascar is catching up with the rest of the world). The great thing is that the cheaper fares are dirt cheap in comparison to anything that Air Mad used to offer. The down side is that you need to book well in advance to get the cheaper flights on the most busy routes, whereas previously you would get the same fare at the last minute. That is definitely no more.

And unfortunately, I did not share the same experience as Neddy with reliability, and had a flight canceled out of Tana after waiting hours in the airport. Hopefully that was an anomaly and reliability will get better.

One other observation, on the scary side. On one of my flights we had a VERY rough landing. As we came in suddenly the pilot dropped the plane down hard on the runway, bouncing so much it hurt to strain against the seatbelt (I would have been out of my seat if I was not wearing it.), and then the pilot hit the brakes HARD to slow the plane rapidly. It seemed like he nearly overshot the runway from what I can tell. That makes me really worry when Neddy reports they hired more pilots. In addition, I have noticed a general deterioration in a lot of things that I did not think could get much worse, reliability and competence in general, from restaurants to hotels, etc. The exchange rate is getting better for us, but that mean things are more expensive for the Malagasy and their economy is worsening, and the country is deteriorating. The new president will not help, only worsen it as he continues to pillage the country for his and his cronies wealth.

Arrived Sunday evening at the airport 2 diffrent international flights land same time so was busy takes 1 hour till get 2 month visa for 40 euros. Check in at sole hotel and take a taxi to cottisse transport want buy tana-ambanja ticket for next day but its was fully booked so buy for Tuesday morning also was just 2 seats left. They not show this route for online bookings yet so can't book online in advance. Take taxi back to glacier it was poor collection around 7 pm evening saw one girl I like offer her 40 k short time and walk back hotel with her. She was great allowed many pic, ass licking, ass fucking, cum into mouth anything I like. She stayed 3 hours and make me cum 3 times so at the end I give her 60 k. We walk back glacier with her I didint see any new girl I like so I decided invite same girl go with me look some clubs and have some beer. We go la suite 101 it was closed on Sunday after taxi be it has a lot of people most of malagasys and couple vahazas. Have few beers and take taxi to Indra club. To get inside you need first pay for drink after they give you piece of paper an when you inside you give this paper for bartender and he give you a drink. This place was full on Sunday but very local have no vahazas, many drunk malagasy guys and not good looking girls. Poor selection you can find better girls at manson, glacier or taxi be. Have one beer and walk back to my hotel because its just 300 metres away. Keep the same girl for night. She make me cum 2 times more and stay till 3 pm afternoon. Probably one of the best fuck I have at mada. I give her 40 k more and send home.

Later evening around 10 pm I check glacier it was like 3-4 vahazas inside and 20-25 girls inside some live band playing I didint see any girls I like have few beers and want almost go check manson club but suddenly good looking girl come to me from nowhere and say bonjour. At first I didint recognise her she has diffrent hair style, but later I remember it was same girl I fucked 2 month ago on my last day at mada. I liked her so offered her 60 k for all night she quickly agree and we walk back hotel. She was fun to be and good at bed I send her home 10 am in a morning with 60 k. Have breakfast at hotel check out and take taxi to cottisse transort for my trip to ambanja...

[QUOTE=Pokeris;2315127]Arrived Sunday evening at the airport.[/QUOTE]Pokeris,

You have been all over, Brazil Cuba, Kampala etc and you back to Mada only 2 month after your previous trip. I wish my last trip was so successful as you. This time I am in Kampala my report will come shortly. What is your intended route this time.

In Diego go to hotel Ambassador [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/5mNh4zicC1FKz6Yp6[/URL] at 50 k back huge room with A/C and WiFi. Directly on action.

So will give some update about my trip with cottisse tana-ambanja for 80 k ariary they also use same van tana-diego (90 k ariary) just on the way droping people at ambanja and carry on to diego. Van is leaving 12 pm daytime from tana and come ambanja 8. 30 am morning (20.5 hour trip) and 4 pm diego (28 hours trip). They have 2 diffrent drivers so they change. Everybody have their own seats, have tv inside which plays malagasy video clips but not have wifi internet at van also all the way telma signal is very weak so internet connection is weak or don't have at all just bigger cities catching strong signal. Van have speed limit 80 km per hour so if driver goes higher its starts beeping all the time. First short stop for toilet was after 4 hours drive and second stop 30 minutes for food was just after 8 hours drive so is better to take some snacks with you. Third stop was after 15.5 hours drive for toilet again. The last stop was just ambanja van drop people and carry for diego.

I meet one guy at cottise van inside he travelling to diego and told me he works at cottisse and he speaks some english. He told me after 3 weeks its will be posible to book this route online and after 3 month they plan to start new route diego-nosy be. We will see it truth or not.

The trip was not so bad I though it will be worst. Probably kill the dog on the road when he run straight into the van. The driver even not stop to check any damage happens for van. Also the road half way to ambanja from tana becomes really bad many holes in tarmac.

Thanks for the transport update. I intend to do almost the same thing end of June but I was intending to take the entire trip to Diego. Now that I know it is 28 hours I'm not so sure! Even the most comfortable trip is not any fun after 28 hours. Fortunately by then I should be able to book online. You are going to break your trip in Ambanja? Do you know if it is easy to get on another Cotisse bus the next day? Since they are now doing this route I suspect word has gotten out about how much better they are than most companies and everybody will want to use them.

Can't help but wonder if they are going to expand to Tulear one day.

I enjoy your reports so keep it up. I am interested to see what you think of Diego. The last few posters to wander through didn't seem to think much of it but I have always liked it.

Enjoy.

SE.[/QUOTE]I ask at cottise office at tana can I book separate ticket from ambanja to diego next day the lady told me you need buy ticket from tana to diego for 90 k because they not doing this route separate ambanja-diego. She means I can catch the cottisse van next day at ambanja I just need pay full amount to secure this seat. I think even cottisse don't have any office here yet at ambanja. They just dropping people of here. So I will probaby go tomorrow with kofmad transport. I ask them in a morning today they told me come around 8 am and will have van. Ambanja is boring town but I have some luck here anyway will report later. Can't wait go diego its always was on my list and have many girls lined up.

Stayed at hotel LE meridian they have rooms for 30,40,50 k ariary. I take for 50 k with aircon, fan its a budget hotel without hot water but its very near la concorde and nirvana to main clubs at ambanja. The guy at hotel is nice person and speak english. Hotel is girlfriendly and no problem bring 2 girls. Town have just couple vahazas standart places to eat one is at hotel patricia open from 12 pm and other at hotel palma nova open from 6 evening. I come to ambanja already with 4 girls contacts on facebook but meet just one. Others find excuses not to meet me or was busy. The girl was 18 years old was fine at bed I give her 30 k for short time. The city is boring at daytime nothing to do. They have just pus pus here yellow tuk tuks operate outside town. I make a lot of walking here and didint see any foreigners.

Nightlife at ambanja which I visited.

Club concorde on weekdays open as a bar and on weekends is a club was not busy small thb beer is 2500 ariary.

Bar select nothing special place.

La romance karaoke bar.

Nirvana club on weekdays open as a bar and on weekends is a club was quiet place maybe 7-8 people inside small thb beer is 3000 ariary. I find here 2 girls friends one is 19 other is 20 years old invite them for threesome at my hotel they was good at bed and funnny girls allowed many pic. After 1 hour I kicked them out with 30 k ariary each.

My suggestion if someone want visit ambanja better to come on weekend when clubs is open and not stay more than 1 day because you get bored.

I woke up 5 am was lazy to wait till 8 pm for kofmad transport so take unnamed taxi brousse to diego.

One time I counted 22 or 24 people inside and they stop everywhere picking up and droping people. Some people was sittijg on each other lap even they don't know each other. I get just seat in the back next the african girl who was carry small baby he was crying all the time, the girl change his pampers next to me and drop old ones on the floor and left. On other seat was sitting women and carry 2 chickens on the floor one of them was coming next to my feet everytime I was kicking him out!! The road is between ambilobe and diego is very bad I come diego with pain in my back. Lesson learned hard way!! Ist my own fault I should wait kofmadi transport at 8 am instead leaving 6 am with unnamed taxi brousse.

Neddy has the right of it. I have only done the Diego Ambanja trip once and that was in a shared 4 x 4. It cost me 40 dollars but was worth every penny compared to what you just went through. I highly recommend you pop into all of the travel places in town and give them a time frame for when you want to leave. Be flexible, there are not that many opportunities. BTW as I recall the TB from Diego to Ambanja runs over night, just to add to the misery. Good luck.

Go to the Gare Routiere in Diego the Day before your intended travel and avoid the ticket touts. Just choose the Company yourself. Make sure they operate the bigger Mercedes Sprinter busses like Kofifi or Kofmad. Avoid UTA. Or as you pointed out shared 4×4 which needs some pre-planning. Go and see the receptionist of La terasse du voyageur. They have numbers of the consolidators and organize a place in a shared 4×4 to Ambanja.

Good Luck.

If I leave early morning and will be same day at nosy be its suits me. Do they have direct van diego-ankify or i need change to another van at ambanja?

I agree with Neddy. Take the 4 x 4. That is a very good price. Just eat the night at Ambanja, get up early and head for NB. You also have the advantage of avoiding the hassle and hussle of touts and just plain liars trying to get you on the "last" boat of the afternoon if you arrive after 3 PM, which is likely. Complete clusterfuck at the boat launch area late afternoon. Also the wind kicks up in the afternoon and if you are on a smaller boat there is a good chance you will get soaked.

BTW, how is Diego working out for you? I plan to be there in a couple of months.

I will add come pic of the girls I have at diego suarez. Full report will come soon.

Some fine looking asses there mate. And you've only been there what, 4 days? You don't waste time do you! I am assuming mostly Taxi Be pickups? Who says there are no girls in Diego?

SE.

[QUOTE=Pokeris;2318760]I will add come pic of the girls I have at diego suarez. Full report will come soon.[/QUOTE]Wow I am impressed. Wonder where you got these chicks from. Maybe I was just there at the wrong time of the year or I was just unlucky. Looking forward to a full report.

Stayed 1 week at diego suarez it was enough for me last days I get bored already. The city is more nice here than other cities at mada and seems much safer to walk at nights at main tourist areas. All nightlife is very close to each other in walkable distances.

Eating:

Diego have many restaurants so everybody will find something they like.

I can recommend la cumbusa restaurant its very simillar to la terasse at tamatave. Food with big portions and normal prices also they have english speaking stuff.

Transport:

Yellow tuk tuk prices is everywhere 1 k ariary at town even for longer distances like example from taxi be to taxi brousse station. Taxis is 2 k ariary for short distances at city.

Hotels:

I stayed at 2 diffrent hotels.

LE valiha hotel the owner is french very nice guy and speak good english they have 2 types of rooms one ground floor for 40 k ariary big with air con, fridge hot water, mosquito net, wifi was working at reception, its budget hotel so don't except some luxury but for mongering its fine. They also have nicer rooms on 1 floor for 70 k ariary but owner offer discount if I stay one week will be 60 k ariary. I choose chepaer room on ground floor. Its near to taxi be and la vahinee.

Ambassador hotel is probably best mongering hotel at all diego for 50 k ariary per night. Big thanks for NMexpert who recommended this hotel.

I like this hotel a lot its something very simillar to flamboyants hotel at tamatave just little bit better for smaller price. They have big rooms, with quiet air con, wifi everywhere, hot water, fridge, the even have bath at bathrooms, comfortablee bed and quiet place also reception stuff speak english so was no problem to communicate. This place is near letincelle and black star club or just opposite grand hotel. I highly reccomend this place its perfect for mongering!

Grand hotel swimming pool its a nice place to spend some time with a girl if you want relax or get bored. To use swimming pool cost 15 k ariary for day They give you towel and selling drinks for reasonable prices like for posh hotel small thb beer 5000 ariary.

Nightlife:

Letincelle. Probably the second most bussiest club after taxi be its open on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday other days was closed most crowd is mixed some pros and normal girls. Its aint great selection of the girls here.

Black star club- this place most of the times was completely empty 5-6 people inside I just always walk in and walk out.

New bar- other place which getting not so many people I never seen a girl I like here.

Nouvel hotel disco I visited this place just once on weekday and it was completely empty.

La vahinee bar you can find girls here day and evening. Its get busy at evenings after everybody is move to taxi be. I like this place for drinks or listen life music every evening. They have many girls here just a problem most of them are not good looking and expired. In one week time I saw just 2 girls here I liked. Its open everyday.

Taxi be most bussiest place at all diego weekends is fully packed you can find 50-80 girls inside but honestly is poor selection all girls is not good looking In one week time I saw just 2-3 girls I liked here and it was just on weekend. Weekdays I never see a girl I liked here. I fucked just 2 girls from here in all week.

Now the most interesting part where I get all my girls? In one week I fucked 8 diffrent girls all was young 18-21 years old but 6 of them was facebook friends from diego. I come to diego little bit prepared with 25 - 30 girls fb contacts. I never seen this all girls at diego clubs or bars. The prices I pay is 30 k short time most of the times and 50 k all night I never get any complains and girls seems was happy with it. Couple of times I give 40 k for short time but this girls make me cum few times and was super great at bed. Most of mine girls was great just few of them refuse blowjob (because they never done it in their lifes) and was not so good at bed. Also some girls refuse to meet AR hotel room because of ramadan and one its not show up at meeting time. Facebook way was working not so bad for me so I can say my mongering was not so bad but not also very good like at tamatave last time. If I don't have any fb contacts it was not good at all. I agree with other mongers who said nightlife at diego its not great at all for girls most of them not good looking and expired. But if you come prepared with facebook contacts it can be good way to meet nice beautiful semi pro girls. People speak here less english than tamatave so most of the times I was using google translator for communicate with girls because I know just bonjour and adision in french. Anyway after 1 week I get bored here and now on my way to nosy be with taxi brousse.

[QUOTE=Neddy69;2318808]Wow I am impressed. Wonder where you got these chicks from. Maybe I was just there at the wrong time of the year or I was just unlucky. Looking forward to a full report.[/QUOTE]I agree with you girls at clubs was expired and really poor selection. I have a europian friend at diego he was staying for 3 weeks and fucked just 2 girls from clubs because of poor selection so I share my facebook contacts with him and he get more girls from here. Diego can be good place for meetimg normal girs. All my facebook contacts i chat agree to meet me but maybe 40 percent refuse after they get a question? Are you interested to come my hotel room if i give you money? Also it probably is good destination for people who speak good french so they can pick up normal girls everywhere, but for pure mongering without any french like me i better suggest tamatave or even antananarivo its a shithole city but never lack of good looking girls.

Seems like the bad streak for Diego continues. I have never had too much trouble getting laid there although I am not the pickiest guy on the planet. It's funny that you get girls as facebook friends that will fuck for money but they don't go to the clubs and look for guys. Trying to be "good" girls that don't want everyone in town (it is rather small) to know they are part time hookers? Another reason I think already mentioned is some may go to NB where there are more potential customers and nobody knows them. I think you will do well in NB. Neddy sure seemed to enjoy it.

And now in the taxi brousse, so you didn't chose the easiest way, wish you a not so bad travel!

Take fifidi transport diego-tana which drops people at ambanja also. Can't complain for trip. Van is half empty I get seat next to the driver, they make one short stop for toilet and other at ambilobe for lunch. Van quiet comfortable everybody have own seat and its not stops for dropping or collecting people. We left diego 8. 30 am morning arrived at ambanja almost 16.00 pm so its total 7. 5 hours trip. Ticket price is 30000 ariary. I will stay one night at ambanja and carry on tomorrow for nosy be.

Front seat next to the driver is one place I would never sit. The experience of witnessing a passenger skull crack a windshield is something not easily forgotten. Buy two seats, in back.

Diego: see gangs of sextourists, table for eight, patronizing Mada's hardest core. No thanks. Check the box, if you must, and why not. Once.

[QUOTE=Pokeris;2318760]I will add come pic of the girls I have at diego suarez. Full report will come soon.[/QUOTE]The Tall Man, a white gringo, loves the blacks, wow look at those beautiful slender bodies, yum yum!

The Tall Man.

Checked in at same LE meridean hotel this time I take smalller room for 30 k per night and I can tell you it was looking better than room for 50 k last time, just a little smaller and without airc con but for 1 night was great.

Try to contact few facebook contacts but they refuse to meet because of ramadan. I text other facebook friend and she agree to meet it was 21 years girl with curly hair very cute face, nice attitude she don't speak any english at all. She come my hotel and we go out for dinner have few beers and comeback room fuck little bit and went out check nightlife together.

La concordia bar was completely full with local girls and guys everybody was sitting and enjoy beer seems they not see foreigners very offten here so everybody was loooking at me with a local girl we have some cheap thb beer for 2500 k and nice grilled chicken on the fire for 15 k ariary and go check out club nirvana around midnight. Its was not so busy 15-20 people inside probably 8-9 girls 2 of them was cute but I was with girl so don't make any contact. This place is tipical malagashy disco everybody was dancing alone and look at themself on the mirror on the wall I have few thb small beer for 3 k ariary and [URL]left.com[/URL]eback hotel fuck again and went for sleep. Wake up in a morning give girl 50 k ariary and left for nosy be.

Sounds like you can find fun anywhere. Keep going! And thanks for on the ground info.

I am curious. You seem to use facebook an awful lot. How do you get around not knowing either French or (I am assuming) Malagasy? If you are translating everything you must go to a shitload of effort figuring out what they are saying and than having to come up with your own translation to reply. I am on Facebook but must admit I am a pretty basic user and do not go past reading posts in a few forums I am interested in. To give you an idea I have 3 "friends" in 5 years. On purpose.

Have a good time in NB. I am sure you will.

And I agree that facebook, can be a very good way, as it seems that every girl must have hundreds of facebook friends, its very easy to pîck up in their friend list, not hidden usually, and then just check the one looking interesting based on pics, location, etc. I did not practice that a lot, but I tried some and once you ask for being friend, very often, they accept you, like if it was a competition to get the more facebook friends they can. One thing interesting to watch also is if they have many westerners in their friend list, good indication, even if not enough, about the semi pro or pro status of the girl.

Good to see this working fine.

We stay tuned and expect the follow up.

Hi guys,

Anybody who knows about the actual situation in Nosy Be? Read on the one hand that it is crowded with ladys and on the other hand that there are nowadays almost no ladys anymore. So what is true?

Thanks.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]The answer is called RTFF, just two post below.

From ankify take a fast boat to nosy be for 15000 ariary it takes around 40-45 minutes. Go out of the port at hell ville and was looking for tuk tuk to ambatoaloaka I ask how much its the price they start said me silly prices like 40000 ariary I know the price is 3000 ariary for locals I try 3 diffrent tuk tuks but get again silly prices like 20000 ariary or simillar nobody want to negotiate and take me for 3000-5000 ariary so I give up and find the tuk tuk driver who accept 7000 ariary for trip to ambatoaloaka even I know I overpaid.

Hotels:

I stayed at hotel ody for 2 nights the room price is 60000 ariary also they have rooms for 70 k. Its simple budget basic hotel, have hot water, fan, good wifi, mosquito net, but some rooms can be noisy because its on main road and windows divided in small parts so you can't shut them properly. My room was into some local house side with chickens so they make noise every early morning. I decided check some other hotels which neddy69 was reccomended on ISG forum before and find great one!

Robinson crusoe hotel. This place just round a corner from ody hotel. I like this place a lot for 60 k ariary you get all bungalow house with quiet fan, good wifi, warm shower, sitting area outside, mosquito net, and quiet at nights and days because it out of main road. Owner speak some english and are nice guy!

Nightlife at ambatoaloaka is small and everything is very close in walking distance so not need tuk tuk but in case you want use it its 1 k ariary.

Biliard bar (disco) just next to (taxi be) many girls inside always can see at least 1-3 girls I like thb small is 5000 ariary.

Taxi be -plenty of girls live music every night most of the times see some girls I like. Thb small 6000 ariary water 4000 ariary.

Sirene disco late night place get busy when taxi be and biliard close and not open everyday but probably every second day entry fee was 3000 ariary.
Thb small 5000 ariary.

Djembe disco also open not everyday its start late also when bilard or taxi be is closed and everybody move here. On weekend entry fee was 5000 ariary on weekdays its was free. Its just opossite sirene disco. Thb small 5000 ariary.

Taty chris. Its a bar (disco) at beach little bit futher away I think its open just sundays start early at 18.00 pm but have great atmosfere inside proper malagashy disco my style!!
Cheap beer prices thb small 3000 ariary. I was impressed with this place I come around 9 pm and it was fully packed its big bar (club) was probably 200-300 people inside many local malagashy guys and a lot of girls probably all island was partying here on Sunday. I collected 4 numbers from girls I liked and fucked 2 of them next days.

Eating:

Plenty of cheap and some more posh places for food. You can have here zebu brochet big portion for 10000 ariary at some local places or chicken with rice for 8000 ariary or omlet for 5000 ariary.
Many local places for cheap beer between 2500-3000 ariary for small or big bottles 4000-5000.

Girls: you can pick up girls here everywhere, beach, clubs, bars, at streets. I just ask them numbers and every girl give it, later I text them and they come my hotel I fucked 10 diffrent girls in 5 days all between 19-22 years old and paid 30 k ariary for short times, sometimes I was giving 40 k for great service like ass licking or cum into mouth. Long times I was giving 50 k. I never get any complain about money from any girl I have here and most of them have nice attitude and give good or great service. They all was texting me on facebook or on phone for repeat next times but I very rare take same girl second time. I rented motorbike and explore all island the busy places just hell ville and ambatoaloaka. Other parts is quiet. I collected 25 diffrent girls contacts already but use 6 of them.

Nosy be (ambatoaloaka) probably is the easiest and safest place for mongering in all madagascar even blind can get laid here just wave with 3 notes of 10000 ariary and girls will come to you!! You can always find a 2-3 girls per day you like without problems. Now I understand why neddy69 was staying here long time! I also like here, but one week will be enough for me its time to move on Friday!! Next stop mahajunga.

Will share some girls pic from nosy be on next post when finish trip at island.

Pic of hotels at ambatoloaka.

Great review, was very nice to read, thank you very much Pokeris.

Amazing review thanks Pokeris!

Wow.

Very nice, very informative and very positive review Sir. Your description does a lot to back up the good things that have been posted by Neddy and others.

I spent last January and February in Mtwapa, and while I found the town and the area to be very much to my liking, the heat was difficult for me. I will do some research online about the weather in Nosy be, but I wonder if you could comment on it in general for me please?

I am considering a return to Kampala, Mombasa and Mtwapa in July and August as I was told by folks in the know that the weather is a little less intense from June through September. I am guessing it would be similar in Madagascar?

I am also interested in visiting Zanzibar, so it may be that a big loop through Kampala, Mtwapa, Dar / Zanzibar and on to Madagascar may be the thing to do.

Thanks again for taking the time to post a very useful, positive and informative report. Such reporting as yours and others who share solid, actionable information are what keeps this board a viable resource.

Thanks again,

Cheers and good travels.

Thanks for the review, very solid info. It confirms what Neddy said a few months ago. It looks like I will have to shorten my stay in Diego and give it another try. I don't think Mahajunga will be quite up to that standard but you seem to enjoy yourself wherever you go. Keep it up!

Main island town have few discos but they was open just on weekend also couple discos at villages but as I remeber they was quiet place.

I am flying tulear on may 24 and will go mangily also I bought tana-tulear roundtrip return plane ticket for 144 euros in total just with hand luggae it was very good price. Need to search little bit information on forum before because I don't know anything about this places yet. If someone can share budget hotels for mangily and tulear also some nightlife info it was great!!

In Tulear, I stayed at Serena hotel. I had booked with booking dot com, so I paid more but if you book directly with the hotel, the double rooms on second floor are at MGA 95,000. A little rooms on first floor are MGA 75,000. There are other hotels in the vicinity which are cheaper. You will have to enquirer with them.

In Mangily, I stayed at Hotel La Bella Donna. I had a beach front bungalow. I paid MGA 90,000 per night. Of course, there are cheaper rooms at other nearby hotels.

Don't stop writing because of a few negative comments.

Your reports are great, Manfield.

A couple of years back I stayed at Hotel Saifee in Tulear. It was 70 k and perfectly fine. Decent size room, pretty good WiFi which is likely better now. Good bed, good bathroom and AC. Very close to la Terrasse restaurant and 5 minute walk to the action (just walk downhill towards the water). Almost all the action seems to be in a few block stretch. I don't think you can miss it unless you go in the day and it may seem quiet. At night plenty of girls normally strolling around and in a few bars and discos. Look back at some of the more recent posts. Some guys are having good luck just wandering around and asking a girl for a number.

For Tulear and Mangily you can at least find my reports but was in July & August 2018, and there are many others better than mines.

For hotels in Tulear I was in Serena for 75 k but there is also LE Recife cheaper.

In Mangily, my hotel was not the cheapest one, was about 40 Euros / day but all included night and very, very good food cooked by an excellent cook, and the best room is in the second bungalow on the beach, most private and quiet, masseuses on the beach just in front, for me was a paradise.

Have a nice stay!

Listen to Expert advise and go here [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/eD4JURqv1fHqmx1cA[/URL] 30 k per night hotel Sud plaza. I bought electrical cattle for hot water. This is killer location I was there a month.

At Mangily go here [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/KX1tcGzag6CLTiMT6[/URL] LE relais de Mangily. 30 k per night. Forget the price he said and instead go to family apartment and explain him that its low season now and no customers.

Toliar TukTuk are 500 only within the city.

I'm still undecided if my next trip is going to be Kenya or Madagascar. I was tilting towards Kenya but I'm unsure now as I read more than one report that 'it isn't anymore what it used to be'.

To whoever it may concern: some incredible return flight deals to Madagascar. About 440 Euro return with Air France from all major cities in Italy (Milan, Rome, Venice, Florence, Turin, Bologna) between September 2019 and February 2020.

Arrived from ambanja with fifidi transport van left ambanja 13.30 pm and arrived at majunga 6 am morning so the total trip was 16.5 hours long. Ticket cost 50000 ariary. The trip was fine everybody had their own seat and van was half empty so I was lucky get second seat for free next to me.

Hotels:

Stayed at hotel bella maria is budget hotel they have rooms for 35 k, 45 k and up. I stayed at room for 45 k ariary it was fine, have small balcony, fan, tv, hot water, wifi.

Also checked central hotel they show me room for 49 k ariary with fan, hot water, wifi and for 59 k with aircon. Other type rooms was full. This hotel was very simillar to bella maria so I decided stay bella maria all my trip.

Transport:

Pus pus price is 1000 ariary.
Bajaj (tuk tuk) is 1 k day and night. Taxi brousses at city is 500 ariary.

Eating: many cheap places and have good restaurants with reasonable prices also. I have no problems to find place for early breakfast like 6-7 am in a morning. Many local drinking places with cheap beer prices also.

Nightlife:

Its aint good at very poor selection of girls.

La zanzibar bar - (its ex taxi be) seems majunga don't have taxi be anymore.
They still playing live music here. This place is open everyday but the selection of girls are really poor I don't see anything I like here in 5 days time. Maybe 10-15 girls every night and 3-5 vahazas. Just on Saturday it was little bit more busy but very poor selection anyway. Small thb is 4000 ariary water is 3000 ariary fanta, sprite 4000 ariary.

LE vip club- it at same building as LE zanzibar bar just next doors its a small club start late like after 12 am at Saturday it was some people inside but I don't see any good looking girls just few so so looking girls. Small thb was 6000 ariary. Its not open everyday on Monday it was closed on Tuesday was open but quiet 10-15 people inside don't see any girls I like.

Ravinala hotel (rela inala disco) its at same building as ravinala hotel just behind corner. This disco opens everyday but starts late like after 12 am.
To get inside you pay for a drink first at entrance and they give you peace of paper with drink name and you collect it at bar. Soft drinks is 5000 ariary small thb beer is 6000 ariary. This disco is dark inside and hot if you want to dance but playing nice europian style music. On Saturday it was busy after midnight but same poor collection of girls who moves here after LE zanzibar is closed.

Cotton club looks like modern nice place I checked this place on Saturday 11 pm its was empty comeback again 1 am it still was same empty. Its not open everyday also.

Shakira club its just next to cotton club when I was passing buy it was closed. I don't know which dates its open.

Boulevard poincaree- this is a sea front long street with many benches for sit in daytime it has some lonely girls but most of the times is quiet, but at nightime between 17 pm-10 pm is become very busy hundreds of people come to sit or make photos near big baobab tree or have some food at nearby la gastro pizza or local places for eating just next to it or have some beer, they have street vendors here who seling coconuts for 2 k and nice ice creams for 700-1500 ariary also local samosas for 300 and local juice for 300 ariary. Its a good spot to collect for girls numbers or invite them straight to hotel.
I get 2 beautiful girls numbers here but both was time wasters. One didn't come at hotel next day on agreeded time and other want dates not money.

Petite plage Amborovy (its a small closest beach little bit out of majunga).
I mention this place because it can be great spot to find a girls and collect numbers. I been here on Sunday with a girl and it was fully packed with people also I saw some good looking girls here.
To rent a 2 beach chairs for all day cost 15000 ariary small thb beer price is 3000 also many local places for cheap food for 4000-8000 ariary for dish. I reached this place with taxi brousse from majunga it takes around 25-30 minutes (taxi brousse number 12) and it cost just 500 ariary for 1 person. I been here also on Tuesday but it was more quiet. Also majunga have other beaches futher but you can't reach them with taxi brousse so you need pay for bajaj or taxi.

I come majunga not prepared with facebook contacts have just couple of them. All 2 fb girls agree to meet me and was really great at bed with nice attitudes and very beautiful 19 and 21 years old so I keep them for rotation every day. In the daytime I meet one and spend time with her, like going to the beach, for some food and fucking. After I send her home with 40 k ariary and invite other girl who was studying on daytime and free just on evenings we spend 2-3 hours and my hotel each evening and after I send her home with 40 k ariary also. At night time I always was alone and try to find girls at clubs but I never seen the girl who was worth to take it at my hotel.

Majunga is nice looking city, have street lights most of the places, feels much safer at night, people look more friendly than other towns, good variety of hotels and food places. It good stopover city for 2-3 days (probably better on weekends) but if you want come for pure mongering mada have much better destinations. Also maybe it can be better than ramadan is finish. 5 days it was to much for me here I get bored.

The Tall Man.

Arrived from majunga with transport premiere classe van leave 6. 30 am morning arrived tana 6. 30 pm total trip time is 12 hours cost 96 k ariary probably it was posible to do it in 11 hours if was not bad traffic at tana. The van have just 7 seats its comfortable. Free small breakfast and lunch at restaurant including in the price also small bottle of waterfront.

Stayed at hotel LE relais normand economy room for 62500 k per night. When I arrived the electricity was gone at all block hotel receptionist was sitting with a candle. He just give me a key of room and said we will check my details later when electricity will comeback. I ask to book me a taxi for 5 am in a morning for airport he said ok no problem 50 k. I just drop my bag and went straight out. Walk to the main road in completely dark. At the main road lights was already working I saw police standing so I walk opposite street side try to avoid them because I never carry passport with me and don't want give them gifts in case they want check me. Walk to gastro pizza have some food and want go glacier but saw other police guys on the corner so decided entry glacier from other side. Around 7. 30 pm wasnt so busy yet I didn't see any girl I like. Have couple of beers and after 1 hour I saw one so so looking girl I decided to take her for short time because I don't have more time to wait because I want have some rest before early morning flight. I walk to her and ask her name and how old was she I forget her name but she was 19 years old. She didint understand french good on my google translator. I offer her 30 k for short time and she agree. We take taxi back to hotel for 5 k. Electricity was back already. We have shower together and some quick chat on google translator she told me she is from majunga. It makes me smile and I told her I just come from mahajunga here.

Girl allowed naked pic, good blowjob, ass licking and fuck for a while but I could cum so she comeback for blowjob again but ask don't cum into her mouth. Ok no problem baby!! The girl was good and have nice attitude so I give her 40 k instead agreeded 30 k. I went sleep early but many times wake up because its was some strange noise at room all night like some generator working behind the wall. Other way hotel was fine big room, comfortable big bed, fan, hot shower wifi. If you can get quiet room here it good hotel for this price.

Wake up 4 am and could sleep anymore because of the
strange noise. Later went check out from hotel taxi was waiting me already. They book the same old taxi for me which everybody use at tana. When we was driving to airport I was hoping its will not break down somewhere in the middle of nowhere in the night time.

I book toliara flight just with hand luggage its 5 kilos but I know my duffel bag weight around 9-10 kilos so I was thinking before in case they complain what I can do? I put small backpack load with stuff inside my duffel bag and come to check in counter she weight my bag and it was 7 kilos the girl didint said nothing put cabin sticker on my bag and write 7 kilos on sticker and give me a plane ticket. I walk inside and 2 guys before bag scan machine weight my bag again and it was showing 8.7 kg (probably it was right weight) . He said me in french alowed weight is just 5 kilos. I said in english ok I go put some clothes on me seems they not understand. I walk 3 metres away take out small backpack from my duffel bag and put on my shoulder. I thought if this way not work I will give them small gift like 5000 each. I walk back to scales put my duffel bag and it was weight 6.6 kilos. They look to each other and look confused (probably they think what a f. Uck this idiot doing here) and let me go inside with overweight duffel bag and backpack on my shoulder. Waiting for my toliara flight now. Will add some pic of premiere transport, hotel room and girl.

For lover of perfect petite size with firm tits. Outstanding the regular honey skin colour (slurp). I'm a fan of integral tanned skin colour (bronzeado integral) which is not often in Brazil. The white / very fair bikini strips are a horror for me.

Many thanks for your precious insights of Madagascar and all the adventures connected.

Many thanks to all you guys for the reports from Madagascar, especially Neddy and Pokeris.

I find it quite flabbergasting that there is still a place in the world where it's possible for 50 year old guys to spend a night and the next morning in the company of a young, slim, pretty LBFM for US $10. I'm in Pattaya right now (first trip, believe it or not). It's a lot of fun, but I prefer proper long time (sleeping with the girl and another round when we wake up), and to get that with a decent looking young babe you won't get much change out of a Benjamin. The fact that Madagascar prices are 10% of that is amazing.

Neddy and Pokeris are in agreement that the best places to go are Nosy Be, Antananarivo, Tamatave and Toliara. I'm a beach fan so I guess I'd remove Antananarivo from that list. Of the remaining three (and possibly Majunga), could you possibly give an idea of which has the better overall facilities? Obviously a place like here in Pattaya has loads of things to do aside from enjoying the ladies. Restaurants; shopping malls; a clean beach to walk along; proper well-maintained health clubs with a / see, sauna, etc; fast unlimited wifi in hotels; swimming pools. Western satellite TV with news / movies / sports channels is a plus, but as long as the wifi is reliable you can stream / download most things you want to watch.

Here in Pattaya I found a girl I hit it off with, and took her to a nearby clinic where we both got tests for the big five STDs (H, HB, G, S, C) for 700 baht (about $23) each. Results within the day, both tested negative for all, praise be, which allowed me to dispense with the latex for the remainder of the trip. Do they have such clinics in any or all of the places in Madagascar? Are there any other obstacles (cultural, etc?) to this?

Now a place like that, with the lovely ladies in your photos available for a tenth of the price of Pattaya, really would be the jackpot!

Want to pay $10 and expect 4 or 5 star service? How will that be possible? Please don't compare places, Madagascar and Thailand. There is a universe, let alone world, of difference. So, enjoy the place with what it has to offer or don't come. Thank you.

Nosy Be. Tiny but for sure the best infrastructure in Madagascar. Low cost LBFM barebackers heaven. Provided your french is half way decent.
Other low cost shagging venues. Kigali, Ruanda. Kampala, Uganda. My top three on the African continent for 10 USD on average shag for a slim LBFM. Even Mombasa, Kenya can be still good as long as you stay away from the expired club slay queens. 2 hours solid shag can be still had for 1000 kshs without big problems. Hey I am 55 years shagging 18 to 23 years age bracket. forget overpriced Asia. Tempos passados spoiled by overpaying sextourists.
Neddy
Africa is the last frontier.
One caveat. don't expect top class asian infrastructure....

Cheers. G.

I'm going to be in Madagascar later in the year, country look great and the girls look good from the pictures on the thread, but all seem to be quite slim. Are there many thicker girls out there, a big ass is key for me.

[/QUOTE]Cheap, yes, but for all those topics, as already said by Neddy. Don't expect too much. This sentence looks like a description of the paradise, surely not all this can be found in Mada. And may be nothing of all this list. Even if we can find good restaurants, nice hotels, sometimes. But for all the rest. Uuuhhhh, things are a bit different. Just a bit. That's just Mada, real Africa I guess.

The intrepid sexplorateur will find heaven on Earth with a healthy dose of Adventures, Misfortunes and the occasional glimpse into paradise.

Neddy.

Girls is everywhere but can't find model types as I like. Short time prices is 20 k all night 30 k no complains. Full report will following later.

[QUOTE=Pokeris;2325348]Arrived from ambanja with fifidi transport van left ambanja 13.30 pm and arrived at majunga 6 am morning so the total trip was 16.5 hours long. Ticket cost 50000 ariary. The trip was fine everybody had their own seat and van was half empty so I was lucky get second seat for free next to me.

Hotels:

Stayed at hotel bella maria is budget hotel they have rooms for 35 k, 45 k and up. I stayed at room for 45 k ariary it was fine, have small balcony, fan, tv, hot water, wifi.

Also checked central hotel they show me room for 49 k ariary with fan, hot water, wifi and for 59 k with aircon. Other type rooms was full. This hotel was very simillar to bella maria so I decided stay bella maria all my trip.

Transport:

Pus pus price is 1000 ariary.
Bajaj (tuk tuk) is 1 k day and night. Taxi brousses at city is 500 ariary.

Eating: many cheap places and have good restaurants with reasonable prices also. I have no problems to find place for early breakfast like 6-7 am in a morning. Many local drinking places with cheap beer prices also.

Nightlife:

Its aint good at very poor selection of girls.

La zanzibar bar - (its ex taxi be) seems majunga don't have taxi be anymore.
They still playing live music here. This place is open everyday but the selection of girls are really poor I don't see anything I like here in 5 days time. Maybe 10-15 girls every night and 3-5 vahazas. Just on Saturday it was little bit more busy but very poor selection anyway. Small thb is 4000 ariary water is 3000 ariary fanta, sprite 4000 ariary.

LE vip club- it at same building as LE zanzibar bar just next doors its a small club start late like after 12 am at Saturday it was some people inside but I don't see any good looking girls just few so so looking girls. Small thb was 6000 ariary. Its not open everyday on Monday it was closed on Tuesday was open but quiet 10-15 people inside don't see any girls I like.

Ravinala hotel (rela inala disco) its at same building as ravinala hotel just behind corner. This disco opens everyday but starts late like after 12 am.
To get inside you pay for a drink first at entrance and they give you peace of paper with drink name and you collect it at bar. Soft drinks is 5000 ariary small thb beer is 6000 ariary. This disco is dark inside and hot if you want to dance but playing nice europian style music. On Saturday it was busy after midnight but same poor collection of girls who moves here after LE zanzibar is closed.

Cotton club looks like modern nice place I checked this place on Saturday 11 pm its was empty comeback again 1 am it still was same empty. Its not open everyday also.

Shakira club its just next to cotton club when I was passing buy it was closed. I don't know which dates its open.

Boulevard poincaree- this is a sea front long street with many benches for sit in daytime it has some lonely girls but most of the times is quiet, but at nightime between 17 pm-10 pm is become very busy hundreds of people come to sit or make photos near big baobab tree or have some food at nearby la gastro pizza or local places for eating just next to it or have some beer, they have street vendors here who seling coconuts for 2 k and nice ice creams for 700-1500 ariary also local samosas for 300 and local juice for 300 ariary. Its a good spot to collect for girls numbers or invite them straight to hotel.
I get 2 beautiful girls numbers here but both was time wasters. One didn't come at hotel next day on agreeded time and other want dates not money.

Petite plage Amborovy (its a small closest beach little bit out of majunga).
I mention this place because it can be great spot to find a girls and collect numbers. I been here on Sunday with a girl and it was fully packed with people also I saw some good looking girls here.
To rent a 2 beach chairs for all day cost 15000 ariary small thb beer price is 3000 also many local places for cheap food for 4000-8000 ariary for dish. I reached this place with taxi brousse from majunga it takes around 25-30 minutes (taxi brousse number 12) and it cost just 500 ariary for 1 person. I been here also on Tuesday but it was more quiet. Also majunga have other beaches futher but you can't reach them with taxi brousse so you need pay for bajaj or taxi.

I come majunga not prepared with facebook contacts have just couple of them. All 2 fb girls agree to meet me and was really great at bed with nice attitudes and very beautiful 19 and 21 years old so I keep them for rotation every day. In the daytime I meet one and spend time with her, like going to the beach, for some food and fucking. After I send her home with 40 k ariary and invite other girl who was studying on daytime and free just on evenings we spend 2-3 hours and my hotel each evening and after I send her home with 40 k ariary also. At night time I always was alone and try to find girls at clubs but I never seen the girl who was worth to take it at my hotel.

Majunga is nice looking city, have street lights most of the places, feels much safer at night, people look more friendly than other towns, good variety of hotels and food places. It good stopover city for 2-3 days (probably better on weekends) but if you want come for pure mongering mada have much better destinations. Also maybe it can be better than ramadan is finish. 5 days it was to much for me here I get bored. I am on my way to antananarivo with transport premiere this morning.will add small mongering map i listed on my google maps.[/QUOTE]I was there a few days before your trip, but not alone. So I didn't need to look every day for a new adventure. Only the last day there I was alone and walked around a little bit. Yes, it is not the perfect place for pure mongering, but there are options. Last day when I was alone Massage ladies gave me there card or at the seafront near baobab I had some nice talks. The reason why the selection is so poor now is not only Ramadan. I was there before. The reason should it's low season. That's what locals and French expats talked to me. Best time to spend time in majunga is (should be) between June and September, no humidity. Maybe anybody else can confirm it. I was there at the wrong time. Cotton or Shakira, that one that is closed will be open again.

One more thing, for those of you who likes online dating apps, there are more English speaking girls than on many other places in mada. The rest I can agree. Great report. I can also recommend premier class for transportation. But if you want to go from majunga to ambanja or the other way, it's not possible now. Maybe that will change or not. Who knows? On there website that connection is available, but once again now they don't drive between majunga and ambanja. Between ambanja and Tana it works. So if you want to go by premier class you better should call them or write an email before.

SE.[/QUOTE]I am staying LE recife its perfect for 45 k ariary. First night I get not so good room little bit noisy. Next day I ask to change and they give me room facing sea and swimming pool. This hotel have everything gym, swimming pool, aircon, nice rooms, hot water wifi its unbelieveable just for 45 k. Also I checked plazza hotel rooms for 30 k its at great location but rooms was so so (you get what you pay for).

Well, that's really cheap compared to Serena Hotel. Next trip, I will try this hotel.

Visited tam tam disco at toliara last night entry fee was 4000 ariary its getting busier late like 23.30 pm or later. Was 15-20 girls inside but all not my type have one beer and left to check out tata djembe disco its was even worst selection just 4-5 ugly girls and local guys so I comeback tam tam again. Have couple of thb big for 5000 ariary each and saw one cute girl sitting with vahaza. She was looking at me I look at her also and smile. Later she go dance and left vahaza sitting alone so it was my chance to get her number. I walk at dance floor and collect her number. I said I will call you tomorrow on google translator.

I go back sit to my table and after 5 minutes I see this girl left vahaza and come sit next to me even bring other cute friend. I offer her buy a drink but she said she don't want drink she is hungry I give her 5 k ariary and told go out buy some food. She went out and left me with her friend. I collected friend number also and buy her a drink. Later other girl comeback and we sit together make some chat on google translator but this girls have very poor french skills so we not understand each other many times I try translate english. Malagashy but it was even worse probably they use diffrent dialect at toliara.

Later other friend of her join us so I was sitting alone with 3 girls all 18-20 years old and cute look with nice attitudes. One of the girl said for me we go sleep your hotel all together. It makes me smile I said I take 2 girls 3 is to much for me. They start to talk something between each other and argumment (probably who is going who is not) for me doesn't matter which girls is go because I have all their contacts numbers anyway so I can fuck other next time.

One girl get upset and she left so I take other 2 to my hotel. They was very happy. We jump to pus pus and almost reach hotel when police stop us. 2 police guys ask to show ID for the girls and passport for me. I said I don't have. Police guy look at me and in very broken english said you take 2 girls? I said its my friends not my girls. He said come out from pus pus you stay here now. We all jump out from pus pus and girls start to talk with police guys asking them to let us go also pus pus driver try interfere and said somethig like we going just LE recife hotel. But of course they want money. I have just around 30 k left in my pocket with one 20 thousand note(it way to. Much to give for police) and other small notes. I give 5 k for a girl and she give it for police guy he look at money with flashing light and they start argumment this girl was talking with him around one minute try to convince them to take it but they want more. I give 3 k more and police let us go.

We come hotel have a shower all together. This 2 girls was really funny at room start to dance and sing little bit. One of them make me laugh a lot when she try switch on tv with air condition remote control. She try so hard many times pointing air con remote control to tv even after open to check batteries is in place.

They allowed make pic and was good at bed I fuck them both without condom and cum inside (I drink prep everyday when I am travelling) so sometimes not use condom with cute young girls. We went out sleep all together but the bed was small for 3 people I not sleep very good so 8 am in a morning I wake up them both fuck them again cum one of them into mouth and let them go with 40 k ariary each. The girls was great so I give them extra little bit. Have a nap again.

Wake up have some breakfast and make appoitment with other girl (friend of these 2 girls) who left the club upset yesterday.she should come soon. I tell you toliara is boring city nothing to do here to much just fuck the girls.

[QUOTE=Pokeris;2326755]........... I tell you toliara is boring city nothing to do here to much just fuck the girls.[/QUOTE]Finally, you found some very nice ones, thanks again, for so nice reports!

Thanks to Neddy for his advice on best infrastructure in Nosy Be. I'll ignore Manfield's hostile response to what was simply a request for information. Of course there is no perfect place with developed facilities of Pattaya and $10 a night LBFMs, but for people who want to do other things than chase girls during their holiday, it is good to have a fuller picture.

Speaking of the "barebacking LBFM paradise", as Neddy so eloquently put it, is there an STD clinic on the island? I know it's very unlikely to get the dreaded bug having normal hetero sex with a healthy-looking, clear-skinned girl, but whenever I do I always end up worrying about it. So these days I find a babe I like, take us both for a test, get the same day results, then bang away freely without a care.

You want to ignore my response yet you agree with what I have written. Truth hurts.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2326899] I'll ignore Manfield's hostile response to what was simply a request for information. Of course there is no perfect place with developed facilities of Pattaya and $10 a night LBFMs [/QUOTE]

Props again to Pokeris. The rooms look good and the price can't be beat (at least I doubt it). 45 K for a nice hotel is very good. Also very good is the body of the 4th girl in his latest photos! Now he has girls fighting over him, poor fellow.

I checked the location and there appears to be a hotel called Paletuvier practically behind Tam Tam. I have no prices but will probably go in when I get to Tulear just to check it out. In the meantime I think I will check out LE Recif. Thanks again for your info.

For Chris P, there are clinics that test for STDs but I have no idea of same day service, nor if the results can be trusted. Madagascar makes Cambodia look good when it comes to health care!

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2327001]What you wrote suggested that all of Madagascar is exactly the same in terms of facilities. That is false, as the valuable contributor Neddy kindly told us that Nosy Be has the best facilities and infrastructure in the country. If you are going to write false reports, not to mention full of hostility to forum members, you would do everyone a favour by departing the forum. Truth hurts.[/QUOTE]Be careful. Best infrastructure in the country. May be, Neddy knows very well quite all the country and lot more other african countries, but saying best for Mada, doesn't mean same as asian, that's where the Manfields answer stay very valid.

Later she go dance and left vahaza sitting alone so it was my chance to get her number. I walk at dance floor and collect her number. I said I will call you tomorrow on google translator.

I go back sit to my table and after 5 minutes I see this girl left vahaza and come sit next to me even bring other cute friend. I offer her buy a drink but she said she don't want drink she is hungry I give her 5 k ariary and told go out buy some food. She went out and left me with her friend. I collected friend number also and buy her a drink. Later other girl comeback and we sit together make some chat on google translator but this girls have very poor french skills so we not understand each other many times I try translate english. Malagashy but it was even worse probably they use diffrent dialect at toliara.

Later other friend of her join us so I was sitting alone with 3 girls all 18-20 years old and cute look with nice attitudes. One of the girl said for me we go sleep your hotel all together. It makes me smile I said I take 2 girls 3 is to much for me. They start to talk something between each other and argumment (probably who is going who is not) for me doesn't matter which girls is go because I have all their contacts numbers anyway so I can fuck other next time..[/QUOTE]The girl on the right in your first photo is simply beautiful, look at those legs, mummmm the behind, how was her face?

May be he thinks if the facilities at place is better than the other, it is comparable to those in developed countries.

Neddy was kind enough to let me know Nosy Be was best in Madagascar, while making clear it is not up to Pattaya standards. Manfield did not, suggesting all of Madagascar had the same level of infrastructure. Furthermore he did so in a snarky, negative, hostile tone which was unwarranted, and which he repeated in his later reply a few posts down. Having called him out on his bad attitude, I'll bring this to a close and once again thank Neddy, Pokeris, SouthEaster and others for valuable help.

There is virtually no infrastructure in Madagascar, with all that implies. This is Africa. Take a van bus ride eight or twenty hours and at feeding stops there won't even be a cold drink to be had: no refrigeration, no ice. There's novelty value but nothing to do. As one guy said a while back, 'you'll be wandering around like a stray dog. ' The appeal is the simple fact that as an impoverished country things are cheap. And because of poverty, people must do what they can to survive. Obviously, that includes the women.

LE robyv disco is the place to be at toliara its much much better than tam tam and tata djembe disco. Its just very close amazone hotel on street baulevard philibert tsiranana. I arrived here 21.30 pm and was already packed with people. Its a disco throught 2 floors first floor have big dancing floor and place to sit for people also bar. Next floor is smaller with bar and smaller dance floor also. Its perfect to sit here and look down when people is dancing on first floor. Beer cost thb small 3000 ariary and big is 4000 ariary. I saw 2-3 girls I like here so 22.00 pm decided to take one for short time she was 19 years old cutie. We take pus pus back hotel and police stop me again for passport check this time is cost me 5 k ariary and they let me go.

We come back hotel have some sex and bbjb cum into mouth. It takes not long and after 20 minutes we was ready back disco with a girl. I give her 20 k but she said give me more I text here back on my phone with google translator: no more!! You get 20 k in 20 minutes but some waitress at restaurant works 5 days for this amount. She said ok and hit my shoulder like for fun. She said lets go back disco. I told her lets have a walk so I can avoid police check on this corner. We walk 100 metres away from police check point in the dark so this time they could stop me. I back at same disco split with girl and have some more beer around midnight its was fully packed probably 150-200 people inside. I saw at least 4-5 girls I like (so its good sign for disco). Its proper malagashy disco have just 1 french vahaza inside and me. Many girls was looking at me some come to me and try make contact. I collected few numbers and was thinking 2 girls for today was enough for me.

Already was ready go home alone when saw some malagashy girls fighting inside it was fun to look so stay little bit longer, after walk out from disco and plan go back hotel on foot because of police check, but pus pus driver come to me and ask if I want a ride I told him police here I can't go I don't have passport. He said no police anymore. I said ok lets go I jump already inside and suddenly some very cute girl run to me (seems she was following me from disco) I said her jump in pus pus she was so happy. We come back hotel and when I find out she not speak any french at all and she not understand google translatotion in malagashy. I find out she was 18 years old, without kids, no phone number no facebook. She was great at bed, have perfect body allowed many pic make me cum and we go sleep. In the nighttime at bed she hugs me many times like proper GF. This girl have great attitude. I wake in a morning fuck her again give her 40 k and 500 ariary for pus pus she was happy. I left for mangily in a morning. Will add some photos of girls I have that day and pic of LE robyv disco. This disco makes me want comeback toliara for few days more after mangily.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2326899]Thanks to Neddy for his advice on best infrastructure in Nosy Be. I'll ignore Manfield's hostile response to what was simply a request for information. Of course there is no perfect place with developed facilities of Pattaya and $10 a night LBFMs, but for people who want to do other things than chase girls during their holiday, it is good to have a fuller picture.

Speaking of the "barebacking LBFM paradise", as Neddy so eloquently put it, is there an STD clinic on the island? I know it's very unlikely to get the dreaded bug having normal hetero sex with a healthy-looking, clear-skinned girl, but whenever I do I always end up worrying about it. So these days I find a babe I like, take us both for a test, get the same day results, then bang away freely without a care.[/QUOTE]When barebacking in black Africa one should always take Truvada or generic TenvirR.

My report from post # 3195 follows.

Mangily Day 1.

The taxi left Tulear at 10 40 am The journey from Tulear to Mangily was good and relaxing but it was really very hot. The road is in good condition. After reading previous reports from Albert9989, I had booked La Bella Donna Hotel in Mangily through email and phone. We reached La Bella Hotel at around 11.20 am.

The hotel has no reception as such. I walked to the restaurant and met Françoise whose sister is the wife of the owner of the hotel. Again as per recommendations of Albert 9989, I had chosen Bungalow No. 2 on the beach. The price for one night was MGA 90,000. The bungalow has a bed which is on an elevated platform with mosquito net. There is a small safe on the wall near the bed. The bathroom has rain shower. Although hot water is available, it is a little erratic. There is a living space with a table and a couple of chairs. On the balcony, there a wooden sofa with a foam bed and a small table. So, after checking in and unpacking my luggage, I relaxed on the sofa in the balcony for a while.

After waking up, I refreshed and walked along the beach. It was really very hot. Near hotel Princesse du Lagon, just before reaching Hotel Maroloko, there is a lane which leads to the sandy road where there is Freddy Restaurant. So, I walked to this restaurant for lunch. I had grilled fish with rice and salade at MGA 13,000 and a vegetable dish at MGA 12,000. The food was good and the amount also was good.

Freddy is a nice man. He runs the restaurant with his wife. He is quite well known given the number of people who come to meet and greet him. Asked Freddy whether I could come to watch football in Canal + Sports channel, he agreed.

After lunch, I returned to La Bella Donna Hotel taking the same route so that I don't get lost. On the way, I was approached my one woman who proposed massage by one of two girls who were with her. I said I would think about it later.

As it was very hot, I just laid on the sofa in the balcony. I was approached my one girl for massage. Her is Claudia. She was short and slim with thick and inviting lips. She proposed one-hour oil massage at MGA 15,000. I agreed although I could have bargained to a lower price. She started with the legs and back. The massage was good. On the flip, she started again with the legs. I started a small conversion with her, asking about her and her family among other things. Asked whether she would do extras. She agreed. But I told not at the time but at night. As she was leaning to massage my legs, I squeezed her boobs. She did not object but was a little scared as people walking on the beach might see. Slowly, I introduced my hand inside her skirt and tickled her pussy. At first, she resisted but as she was feeling good and enjoying, she allowed to finger her pussy.

As she started massaging my chest, she leaned further which allowed me to take out her boobs and suck her. The massage continued like this for over an hour with me fingering her pussy, sucking her boobs. She also allowed me to kiss her. Finally, after over 90 minutes of massage and groping, we stopped. Told her to come after 8 pm after dinner. She agreed and left after I paid her.

After taking shower, got ready and walked to Freddy restaurant for dinner and to watch football on Canal + Sports. I had one bol renversé at MGA 15,000 and chocolate banana pancake at MGA 8,000. After dinner and football, returned to Bella Donna Hotel and when I reached my bungalow, it was pitch dark near the beach.

Claudia appeared from nowhere when she saw me entering the bungalow, Said she was waiting for me. After taking shower, the action started. We tried on missionary first but as she had a small frame it was difficult to penetrate fully. We then tried doggie and she on top. Asked her to give a BJ but she refused, saying it was 'fady', that is, forbidden. I was difficult for me to come easily because of my previous two nights' actions in Tulear. After more than one hour of hard core fucking, I got tired. Paid her MGA 30,000 and she left happily.

After taking shower, I slept at around 10.30 pm.

Hey Pokeris,


Just a question about pus pus are these the ones they pedal or the small motorized ones? I have trouble with the ID because almost everyone has a different name (and price!) for the various types of small transport. I also wondered if the cops set up on that corner solely because they know there is one foreigner that is likely to come by that they can extort a few bucks from? What do you think?

SE.[/QUOTE]Pus pus is with pedal. I not sure police set up solely but they not everynight on this corner between streets (baulevard gallieni) very close to plazza hotel.

Arrived from toliara with private bajaj it cost 20 k ariary and take around 45 minutes. Or can take public one for 5 k ariary. Stayed at hotel la bella donna. All best bungalows was booked so I get the bungalow closer to the road for 100 k ariary. Hotel is nice I enjoy it. Have cold big thb for 5000 ariary.

Before I was coming mangily I imagine I will meet young and beautiful massage girls on beach between 18-23 years old but the truth is most of massage girls was probably between 30-45 years old and ugly. Was couple of younger girls but they also not good looking so my daytime mongering was not good. I also check mangily village at daytime but didint see anything I like. Mangily girls have very dark skin and some of them put that silly yellow powder to protect their face from sun.

Night time I go to check mangily village discos and bars, they have 3 discos sebastian, pata pata and other without name which was open on Monday but completely empty just couple french tourist dancing. All other discos was closed. I sit at the bar drinking warm thb because they don't have cold one on main road and was looking girls passing by. I saw couple cute looking girls but they was with local boyfriends already. At the bar has 3-4 ugly freelancers one of them 3 times come to me and talk (try to convince me to take her hotel) she was ugly and smell sweat so bad I told her to fu. Ck of from me. Later one local guy come to me who speaks good english (he told me he works as a guide) he try to convince to take his sister friend who not good looking also and was sitting on next table I told him I don't need a girl. Midnight I give up and decide walk back to my hotel from main road it was completely dark and no people around so it was not very comfortable 5-7 minutes walk. It was my first time at mada when I don't find and take any girl I like in all day. In the morning I wake up and take bajaj back to toliara 1 day at mangily was enough for me. Seems this small village with around 4000 population is not for me. Will add pic of bungalow number 10.

Interesting to see these two reports, and not a surprise.

Mangily Is not an active monger place, mainly a place to relax, nice beach and lagoon, some visits on the sea or in the area, nice hotels and restaurants.

As already said by several mongers here its a place to byog from TuleAR, as its less than 1 hour you can easily make visits and come back.

And you can find these masseuses which are not spinners for sure, but I must say that I liked one of them, everyday. Or quite.

Also some nice girls can be found in the alleys, very dark alleys at night but safe, often coming from TuleAR for some visits or to find tourists.

Thanks to both for your great reports.

Thank for these great reports from my side too!

Funny to see though that Pokeris paid 10000 MGA more for a room in the back than Manfield paid for his bungalow right at the beach in the very same hotel.

Stay 6 days before at tolaria. Arrived from antananarivo my flight was delayed 9.5 hours in total and we try flight 3 times till we reach toliara. First time plane departure on time we was in the air already but after 20 minutes they told plane have technical problems and we need comeback tana. We land they told us pick up hand luggage and go wait inside departure area near gates. After 1 hour waiting they announced boarding starts again we departure again but after around 20 minutes they told plane have technical problems and we comeback antananarivo (seems its getting problems when reaching some high). Same story we go back, we go to wait at gates with hand luggage. This time we was waiting 4-5 hours till they fix a plane and change the crew. They give one free water and sandwich in all this waiting time. Third time we departure but they announced flight will be with stop at forth dauphin they will pick up passengers who will goback tana after when they drop us at toliara. So after 9.5 hours in total delay I reach toliara. We land and I get sms in french on my phone from tsaradia (they very sorry my flight is cancel for today and it will be tomorrow morning with new boarding time) it makes me laugh because I was at toliara already.

I was so tired so walk out of airport building and look for taxi, many guys was offering taxi with offcial rates on paper like 25 k ariary to city I told its to much and offer 15 k one guy quickly agree and we jump to the taxi. I arrived and check in at la recife hotel.

Now about mongering at toliara. Its really easy to get any girl phone number you want. In the early evening time for me was good spot to find some cute girls sometimes at gastroo pizza area (they have free wifi here so girls come to sit and check their phones on benches outside. Night time you can see some freelancers on baulevard lyautey street standing but they are ugly, you can find girls at bars like LE beuf, dromadaire, when this bars closing girls start to move at discos, tam tam disco, tata djembe, LE robyv (best disco at toliara) at this disco I seen at least 1-2 girls everynight I like. I have 12 diffrent girls in 6 days so my mongering was fine here. All girls I get at toliara was 18-21 years old most of them have really nice attitude (probably the best I get in all mada) some girls don't have phones, no facebooks and not speak french at all so was little bit tricky to communicate with them on google translator with malagashy language. Prices for girls here is 20 k short time 30 k all night but sometimes I was giving 10 k extra for great service. One girl I was keeping here for couple of days. She know 100 words in english, was very beautiful with perfect attitude so was fun to be together.

Pus pus prices at toliara is 500 ariary but always bettter give them right amount because if you give 1 k sometimes they don't want give you change back. Also here have some annoying sellers who try sell you something everytime and beggars kids who follow you at streets and asking money. Most place at night is dark and don't have proper street lights. Anyway I like toliara for mongering and have very good time here with girls. The city is really boring at daytime.

Checked some places at tana.

Glacier was packed on Friday with live band and 10000 ariary entry fee, but in 2 hours stay I didn't see any girl I like have couple small thb for 5500 ariary and take a taxi for 5000 ariary to manson.

Around midnight it was packed but again in 1 hour time I could see any girl I like just couple so so looking girls have some small thb for 6000 ariary and want go home alone already (I was not desperate to get a girl because I have 2 diffrent ones at toliara in daytime already before my flight).

Anyway I saw one so so looking girl and decide to talk with her. She was speaking english after some conversation I offered her 60 k ariary for all night and she agree. We take taxi back hotel. I buy here one thb bottle at reception and small water for myself we go back room. This girl was looking much better in the dark at manson when in the light at my hotel room. We shower and I told her maybe we will fuck now or in the morning because I don't have power because have some girls before already. She said ok. We sit on the bed naked and I decided give a try maybe she will make me horny. I push her head next to my dick and she start to suck my dick it was like plastic but somehow she make me hard I put condom and fuck her for couple of minutes but my power gone and I could get strong anymore. I pull out and saw some blood on condom. She told me of no!! My regles (period start now). I said no good for me! She start put her underwear on and said I am going. I said ok you can go but as you not staying till 10 am morning as we agree at club I give you 40 k not 60 k. She said no!! We agree 60 k short time!! I said I repeat 2 times you at club 60 k all night till 10 am morning and you agree. She try to pretend she don't heard it because of loud music at club and demand 60 k anyway from me. I said 40 k what's it!!

I told her don't make me angry because I will throw you away from room and put 40 k on the bed. I said you have 5 minutes to dress up and leave my room. She take 40 k and start swear something in malagasgy on me and said she call police (her family is police officer its same bullshit stories I heard before) I said do whatever you want!! She get angry and want fight with me she scratch my finger with her nails, I get mad grab her hair and drag her out from my room and push her out she fall down on the floor after I throw her bag to carridor also and lock the doors. She was swearing and said she will kill me!! And go away. I went sleep.

After one hour she comeback my room and start knock the doors and asking let her in. I call reception and told them to take out the girl who is knocking my doors I not invite her here, somebody come after 1 minute and they take her out. My mongering have not good start at tana but this happens in very rare times. you can't predict everything. Its my principle never pay more for them if i know i am right! Dont let bitche.s take advantages of you.

Thnks Pokeris for telling this story. Typical example of how things can get ugly quickly. You are very lucky she didn't come back with the cops then it would have cost you much more for sure.

Actually in the province the girls get 30 k for the night so 30 k for ST even in Tana would have been more than enough I think.

The problem is these girls don't listen what you said. You said 60 k so for her it s 60 k no matter how long you stay with her. I m pretty sure she knew her mens were coming and the bitchy angry attitude is all fake of course. It s good you stay firm but being physical with a local girl hmmm.

Anyway I know you don't show girls faces (would be nice to see sometimes the other side even with blurry face) but maybe you could show this one so that other mongers will ignore her.

If I were you I would change hotel for a couple of days just to be sure. Up to you.

Take care.

I was at manson last night I saw this girl again she give me bad look I just laugh at her. I think if this bad things who sometimes happens you scared so much probably its best way not come to mongering at africa at all!!

Around 23.00 pm make my last run to glacier was looking for my last tana sweetie. Have one beer and saw cute young girl. I try to chat with her on google translator but seems she don't know any french. Find out she is 20 from toliara. Lets go my hotel for 30 k short time? Yes sure!!

Fuck her hard, she try make me cum also very hard but any luck!! Seems 3 girls per today was to much for me! Give her 30 k + give 5 k extra for taxi and let her go. The last girl was really great with nice attitude! Pack my bag and waiting taxi to airport!! My mada adventure is finish!!

Looks like you chose Sole Hotel this time. Which did you like best? Sole, New Select or LE Relais Normande? Best Wifi?

SE.

[QUOTE=SouthEaster;2330597]Looks like you chose Sole Hotel this time. Which did you like best? Sole, New Select or LE Relais Normande? Best Wifi?

SE.[/QUOTE]I choose sole because it was good deal on agoda room just for 80000 k ariary per night including free breakfast on rooftop restaurant. I like sole its close to LE glacier and most of the times I can walk till 22 pm because still plenty people on this road, also wifi was fine here and reception people always give me silent room with window if I ask them. LE relais normande its also good deal for 62500 k ariary I stayed here for one night before but its much futher to LE glacier and rooms lowest quality when at sole. Anyway both hotels are probbaly best deals you can find at tana for this prices. I never stay new select before.

At pokeris.

Your reports belong to the monger hall of fame. Flawless trip.

My next adventure is coming up. I ll roam Kenya from July on.

Neddy.

I will add my thanks to Neddy's. Lot's of good info for many locations. I think anyone who knows Mada or is thinking of going will benefit. Sorry about the hotel mixup. I thought you had stayed at the New Select for sure but must have been Amadeuss. Maybe I will try Sole again. My first and last stay about 2 years back I was not impressed at all but many on here have stayed in the last year or so and seem happy with the place.

Hello and good day to you gentlemen,

I have a few questions about Madagascar but before I get to that let me tell you guys something about me and what I would like to do.

I'm a half dutch half Tunisian and in my early twenties. As of work I am chief on merchant vessel (sailor) I have been sailing since I was 16 so I have seen many places and met a lot of people and of course tasted the fine spices of local girls, for someone my age I have been mongering a lot. As for my upcoming trip the choice came down to Madagascar or Uganda.

I have read a lot of Neddy and Polaris reports, they were really good and funny and I enjoyed them a lot!

I will be getting some time free from around November, to be honest I haven't checked if the weather is good. This won't be a hardcore mongering trip but more like a semi because I'm really overworked and haven't been on a good vacation in a while.

Why Mada? Well I don't need to tell you that. My french is good and I am used to some extreme heat and its quite a unique country.

I am looking for hotel or resort as close to the beach, from What I read nosy be is the place to be. I don't have a budget nor do I need one well because its a vacation but don't worry I won't spoil the market.

I can't seems to decide between Mada or Uganda, any advice would be much appreciated. If you guys need any help please ask my area of expertise would be Europe and Tunisia.

I hope you guys can help me decide and thanks in advance.

[QUOTE=ANewTravler;2333920]I can't seems to decide between Mada or Uganda, any advice would be much appreciated. If you guys need any help please ask my area of expertise.[/QUOTE]Mada girls tend to be smaller and Ugandan often look like beast in comparison, Kampala is far from holiday destination with extreme chaotic city center. Nosy be in Mada is a resort combine with a back slum. French vs English etc.

So its like a resort sex vs city sex vacation and if you want large portion of meat then Uganda or Mombasa. Or go everywhere today airline price are super low. If you are 20 all the girls will come to you for free in Uganda trust me on that. Age is everything.

But also Tamatave the premier port city with sweet Betsimisiraka lasses. That is unless you don't want to be near the sea. Then go to Uganda. For wide choice of chicas Kampala Kabalagala. To relax with small town atmosphere Jinja.

Bon chance.

Neddy.

Good morning,

First of all thank you Neddy69 and nmexpert for your help. Its gonna be Madagascar gentleman.

Nmexpert yes you are right if I want more meat I would go Kampala, Mombasa or even Nairobi, But most are pro working girls.

ID sacrifice little beauty for GFE action, same difference between thai woman who are better looking but more business then Philippines. I hope I am not wrong when I say that GFE (semi pro) chances are higher in mada then Mombasa or addis Abeba. Of course there is plenty of non pro to be had in Uganda it is just that mada is quite unique.

I am planned a trip for 3 weeks. 1 week in Antananarivo Hotel tripolista around 140 k ari a day which is fine for me. I've read that it should be close to glacier and some other nightlife venues.

As for the remaining 2 weeks either nosy be or Tamatave (the relaxing part) so my questions are which of the 2 has the better beaches and girls?

I would be going around November which should be the good season time for swimming and laying on the beach and trying some local talent. I know the infrastructure is quite bad, that's why I chose to stay at 2 places only.

I have been looking for a hotel but could not pick since I don't know where the nightlife is concentrated. I hope any of you could give anything regarding this. My hotel budget is max 250 k ari.

Thanks in advance.

P.S: willing to meet for a beer.

I will let others weigh in on the weather in November but I suspect Tamatave may be somewhat rainy. The beach in Tamatave is not exactly stunning. If that is one of your criteria Nosy be wins. As for girls. Plenty in each place. Your hotel budget is probably more than you can spend in Tamatave! Nosy Be can be a lot more but doesn't have to be.

SE.

In Tamatave you have 2 seasons: rainy season and rainy season.
I would never swim at Tamatave.Very polluted and some sharks close by.Foulpointe is just ok but nothing special.

Well gents I find myself with a bit of a situation. I foolishly thought that because the Madagascar website for Canada said it will issue 1, 2 and 3 month visas it was the same case at the airport. Wrong. I now found myself with a 60 days visa and a 84 days ticket. I guess nobody posting in months has stayed longer than 2 because no one has mentioned it. Well heads up, now you know.

I now need to find out how to get a further 1 month extension. The woman who gave me my visa at the airport said I could do it in any major city and a South African tourist website says it can be done at any provincial capital at the Immigration Office. My question is has anybody done this? I spent well over an hour last night looking on the internet and could not even find the office in Tana. All I came up with was a website with no address and no contact info. I know in a place like Cambodia there are dozens of agents who will do this for you but I have no idea if such a thing exists here.

I am looking at a very expensive change of plans if I must change my ticket and worst case scenario it may be cheaper to fly return to La ReUnion or Mauritius and get another month on arrival.

Anybody done this? Any advice extremely welcome!

It can be done on your own with a headache or by lawyer for money and she'll come to you in center of TANA.

Expats told me although illegally Police is extending visa all over the place. Ask local french expats. I know people stay with illegally extended visas for years on end. A mate of mine staid 6 months. Although on exiting they extracted another fine upon departure of 50.000 AR.

SE.[/QUOTE]I tried myself in Tana foreign affair office (not far from the big lake in the center) and was given an endless list of documents to gather, plus it's all in french so if you don't speak the language can be a huge barrier. In addition, they take your passport for 2-3 days and they are messy as hell, you can see in these offices piles of paper everywhere so there is also this risk of losing it, my feeling when I was there. In the end, I did in another city where I had a local friend who slipped a bribe to the police man, but he took care of everything. I think for me costed 50 euros to extend 1 month. Anyway, not easy and not doable at any airport as you read around, plus this things changes fast so don't rely too much on previous info. Try to sort it out locally, but better if you have local friend speaking french, otherwise I doubt is doable. All this is based on my experience last year.

As usual, this is my late report of my 10 days holiday in nbosy -be in January 2019.

I come with ethiopian airlines, non stop flight from addis -abeba. I book one week before the flight so I paid around 850 euros, my departure airport was Milan MXP.

This my 3nd escape in nosy be and I stay a the same hotel as the last time "coco plage " the price rise but the hotel need some refurbishing, I paid 38 or 40 euros per night for the beach side small room.

My first session was a threesome with 2 "masseuses " from the beach, around 22 years old with good bodies, shower together then on the bed, one suck my cock when the other swallow my balls! After that one girl mount bareback on my cock for a rodeo session for around 5 minutes. When she was tired the other girl take my cock in her pussy and after an other 5 minutes I squirt a huge load in her belly. Re shower and I give 50 k AR for each and the drama begin, bla bla, it's not enought because it was a threesme, no other girls do that (hahahaha) and after 20 minutes I gave to her angry the double. I know that it's mandatory to bargain before but when I'm horny I forget everythink, lesson learned.

So after in the evening, I going to hunting in bar of the main street of Ambatoloaka, the main bar are "LE taxi-be " and the "billard" and after some THB I found my perfect girl (see photos) funny, slim and with "big boobs " and perfact ass. She was Ok to "sleep" with me and this time I ask her how much she want, she answer me "up to you " I said 50 k AR ansd she was agree.

In room I was in heaven, her body is perfect, no baby, big boobs, perfect ass (not too big, not small) and she wanted to fuck more than me, lot of differents positions was done but my fovorites was when she was on me with her boobs on my face.

In the morning I gave her money but she said no, I want to stay with you and she stay with me 9 more nights.

The program was during the day: visit of the islands (nosy iranja, nosy tanikely, nosy komba, nosy kely, nosy sakatia, mount passot) the evening in the bar, and fucking, at least 3 times a day.

The last day, before to going to airport, I give her "her money " : 60 k X 10 days and a small Bonus, she was surprised and said " it is a lot of money " so she was happy and me too (tired and balls empty!

I keep contact with her and sometimes she send me "hot "photos to convince me to come back.

January is low season. Masseuses from the beach are usually the bottom of the pack. They should be 20 k max for ST. And for LT any girl in Nosybe it s 40 k standard. 100 k for ST per girl is outrageous. Seems we are already in Pattaya without the good sides.

I found my perfect girl (see photos) funny, slim and with "big boobs " and perfect ass.

Nice one, I would be very happy doing her too.

Hey,

Give the guy a break. He fucked up, but we all have at some point or other. And I have to say I would have paid 60 K for LT with his big tit girl, once. Then again I don't like spending more than a day or 2 with the same one but if that made his holiday then good for him. He paid for ten days what a lot of guys pay for one night with a "stunner" from a gogo. I don't think we are quite at Pattaya prices yet, knock on wood!

SE.

Thought I would provide an update on my situation and how it was resolved.

Quite a clusterfuck. I got help from the hotel and met some police flunky who then called his boss. This was Friday at 1 pm. After some dickering I agreed to pay 100 euro! Fuck me what a costly error. They then said I would have it back at 4 pm. Excellent. No way. Fuckers just lied. Friday night and I hear I won't get it. Now what. I go to the bus company and cancel my ticket to Diego and replace it for another to Tamatave on Wednesday because I have no idea how long it will be. To top it off there is a week long independence celebration on so many officials are on holiday. Monday afternoon and I got back to my hotel and was told I will have it back tomorrow morning. Well I finally got it after 1 PM thank fuck. It is a bit nerve wracking not knowing the outcome and not being able to go anywhere until you get it back.

It took 100 euro, 3 photos, a copy of my passport, a copy of my hotel registration, a copy of my flight ticket and a copy of my bank card (still don't know why that one) and all told 3 days but I suspect it could take anywhere up to a week if they drag it out. Not recommended!

As far as I know this is completely legit (except for the 100 euro part). They were real coppers and my airport visa was actually replaced with a new one signed and stamped for 4 days after I leave the country.

A couple other notes. I have learned that 3 days in Tana is plenty!

Don't go during "independence week" which is basically whatever week surrounds June 26. Tana crowds, noise, traffic and pollution at it's worst. And many places close according to a schedule that is random.

Anyway enjoying the relative peace and quiet in Tamatave for awhile. Rains plenty, as most already know but amazingly the last 2 days have been almost completely sunny.

If you arrive directly in Majunga you can get 3 months on arrival. It s probably the same in Nosybe so the issue of 3 months VOA seems to be in Tana only.

Have you done this? Are you 100% sure? I have a hard time believing that a policy that originated in Tana and is apparently being followed strictly would not apply to other international ports of arrival. That said, coming from Canada there are almost no options that are easy (or easy on the wallet) for Majunga so it really doesn't matter to me.

Hi guys,

I don't speak French, but planing vacation to Madagascar. Which of you guys don't speak English and still had a great time there?

No need to be so testy Mr. Best. I didn't say I didn't believe you I asked if you were sure and it seems you are. I don't think I am the only one that thinks it a little odd that there are different immigration policies for different ports of entry, in fact it is probably unheard of anywhere else. And yes, after my fiasco I am aware that rules in Mada are, shall we say, malleable. I asked in part because I don't wish anyone else to go through the hassle that I did.

SE.

I am assuming you meant to write French instead of English in your second sentence? If you speak neither you will have a hell of a time. Again assuming I am right, for a good example go back in the thread and read Pokeris' posts. He has given heaps of good info, had a great time and he doesn't speak French. That said it makes things a lot easier if you do. I speak a bit (basic shit) and it certainly helps. My biggest problem is understanding half the stuff on the menu!

If you have an ounce of adventure in you and are willing to do some difficult travel then I would advise you to give it a go. If you are the AC or Pattaya type that expects everything handed to them on a silver platter, don't bother.

I don't speak French, but English and had a great time there. Without French it becomes a little bit complicated sometimes. For example restaurant menu is usually in French. Taxi driver won't understand you, because of the pronunciation. Be prepared, that means have a card from your hotel or the correct address.

[QUOTE=IAmTheBest007;2342179]If you arrive directly in Majunga you can get 3 months on arrival. It s probably the same in Nosybe so the issue of 3 months VOA seems to be in Tana only.[/QUOTE]Hi,

I guess for nosy be you are wrong. I was there in April. Some other guys discussed that in my hotel and they fly directly to Nosy Be. Only two month on arrival at the airport. Another option for some guys there is from the Comoros by ship, also only two months.

A single entry up to 3 months, or a multiple entry up to three months can be had in 4 business days for Americans, Canadians just mail your stuff to [URL]visahq.com[/URL] and let them do it. End of story. They've gotten me visas for Chad, Burkina Faso, Niger, former soviet countries. Just too easy.

Last year I got a month only in TNR Airport when requesting 3 month. 5 month later I got back and got 2 Month without issues. Their policy is a mystery.

But I did learned one thing that one month is the optimum time or me as I got bored in any city. Next trip in September.

Just a bit of info for those heading here. One thing I have definitely noticed is prices of some things going up, especially beer and especially in Tana. Last year at LE Glacier the daytime price for a large THB was 4500 and evening 6000. That changed to 6000 any time. My last day there around a week ago it had just gone up to 7000. Now this is still cheap at under 2 bucks but that is a hell of an increase in a short time. La Terrasse in Tamatave has boosted their (still good value) menu du jour from 12000 to 13500 and the duck confit from 21000 to 24000. La Cantine in Diego has put their beer up 1000 since a year ago. Don't get me wrong the prices are still good, especially compared to a lot of other places but there seems to be some big price pressure over the last year or so. Don't know exactly why because even though the currency has fallen a lot, most of these products are not imported. Except the hops? Except the prices in the supermarkets have not followed that of restaurants and bars.

Hotels seem to be steady. I am paying the same at Anjara in Tamatave as I was 3 years ago. Same for Imperial hotel in Diego. New Select has gone bonkers though. Receptionist gone half the time and prices have gone up. It's a shame as I love the location so close to Glacier its perfect for STs.

Airfares. Book very very early if possible. Prices for Tsaradia over the next 6 weeks have gone nuts! Almost all of the cheapest category flights are sold out, and even the ONLY one I saw for NB to Tana was for 123 Euro, not the 80-90 we were seeing when they first kicked off. Cheapest one way from Tulear to Tana is 150 Euro going all the way up to 364! Fuck these are old Air Mada prices.

Does anyone know if the offices (Tsaradia is in Air Mada offices?) have different prices and availability like the old days with Air Mada or is it exactly what you see on the website?

Cotisse Tana to Diego. I did the whole trip, 28 hours. Road in terrible shape in many places, probably adds 10 hours to the trip. Bearable but I was practically falling down by the time I got there from lack of sleep. I believe they are in Collaboration with Anjara Trans as that was the name on the Taxi Brousse. Their station is way the hell and gone from the centre of town.

I have not added anything about pussy as Pokeris did the job much better than I could a month ago!

Hi everybody,

Are most working girls in Madagascar black girls? Are there any white girls in there? Thanks for your advice.

[QUOTE=Bfsie;2349900]Hi everybody,

Are most working girls in Madagascar black girls? Are there any white girls in there? Thanks for your advice.[/QUOTE]Most of them are looking asian with darker skin, but there are also black girls and some have light skin. Those women with lighter skin are living in Tana and highlands around.

Have a look at Badoo (flirting App) and check some big major cities in Madagascar or Facebook and search for "Top Model Madagascar". Others also post here some pictures of their ladies. To see is much better than only to describe.

I don't know where you were mongering Steve but I didn't see many Asian looking girls around, except for those that obviously have some Chinese in them. The vast majority are medium brown to almost black with a minority having fairer skin. As for white girls, you may find a few hookers from SA or La Reunion but I wouldn't count on it! Zero white working girls in Mada. You do know this is Africa, right?

But there are not fresh no kids etc so expect some baby damage. Try badoo and of you like one immediately offer money when chatting for full night. But no one goes to Mada for real white. Try Brazil or Colombia.

I know what you talking about it is a nightmare I try to do it to save money but I was sadly mistaken I wasted a lot of Taxi trips and I have to deal with some stupid bureaucracy so I said screw forget it and I decided to pay money and get a lawyer.

What really pissed me off was the day I came to get my passport from the office to find out that there is one last step and that is the stamp and I have to walk my passport all the way to the tribunals because supposedly that's where you get it done or to actually make the payment there and get a receipt and then come back to her office to get the stamp for the extension well she let me walk all the way over there and she forgot to tell me that the tribunal was closed on that day!

I called my lawyer who actually did a previous extension for me when I was outside of and 10 in the rainb I called my lawyer who actually did a previous extension for me when I was outside of TANA (I was in Toliara) and she mailed me back the passport with a stamp. It cost me 550,000 AR but I was extremely happy and did a total of 3 extensions with her.

I do not recommend you go the regular official rout unless you truly are on a low budget and you only need one month extension as I recall they only give you one month extension and it's for around 80,000 AR.

In fact my friend while I was in Tana I inquired and fruitlessly tried to get the residency and the subsequent biometric card. I was told to go back to the USA and get a transformable visa first!

I'm surprised a lot of you who are a frequent visitor to Madagascar don't have this residency.

[QUOTE=Neddy69;2341955]Ya. And not to forget. Get hold of any official Friday afternoon.

And of course you have to pay three people. The guy in the hotel, the policeman, and the Top Boss. Thats why it pays off to call a police general your friend. He gives you preferred rates and of course you refer other people in need to him. They just created a new money making machine by cutting VOA back to 2 months. Very annoying. But for 1000 you can get a 3 years residence. Transaction fee already included. And no need to leave Mada.

I'm surprise you haven't been to Columbia yet my friend I guess to you Colombia is as far as Madagascar would be to me or to where I'm from. Here's what I would suggest if you do go to Columbia make sure you have extra time so you can stop by Cuba my favorite mongering spot in the whole wild world. Lookup my reports to get an idea.

But I must warn you about Colombian girls they're very very vain superficial and lower percentage of GFE which is in total opposite of Cuban women.

Actually my friend I would ditch Colombia and go straight to Cuba. Cuba is going through tough times right now trust me the girls would be very anxiously waiting for you while Colombian girls are pretty much spoiled by now. Just bring toilet papers! No seriously, bring tp it's that bad again! Brazil kicked their doctors out and Venezuela no longer can send their oil to them.

SE.[/QUOTE]That's what I mean with have a look. Of course the majority is brown to black. But it's very different to countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda. That's typical a black African population for me. Madagascar people are much slimmer and smaller, like Asian people with lighter brown skin. First people who settled there came from Indonesia and Malaysia and later from Africa. So the genetic is mixed with Asian and African. From my point of view they look more Asian than African. But you are not wrong. Color of skin is more African, but dark color of skin you also find in Asia and shape of body is more Asian than African.

You enter on a normal Visa on arrival. Then your passport is sent by courier to a malgache consulate abroad. It returns with the visa transformable stamped in your passport. No need to leave the isle rouge. Than you start your residence application process. But you hv to furnish a long list of paperwork like cahier judiciare etc. Make sure you hv all your paperwork in order. The full service cost 1000 euros include all "fees" for 3 years. I am fortunate to know this expat who in turn has some relative sitting in Immigration.

Neddy.
But the regular process is to get the visa transformable in your home countrys embassy. But the rumor says if you fly to Reunion you'll get it there too. for a "ahem" fee. So its by no means that easy. Many things can go wrong without the right documents and the right people. If I plan to settle on Isle rouge I ll go through the process, but as I am not retired yet I limit my stay there for 2 to 3 months at a time

[QUOTE=SouthEaster;2349879]Does anyone know if the offices (Tsaradia is in Air Mada offices?) have different prices and availability like the old days with Air Mada or is it exactly what you see on the website?[/QUOTE]Forget the long line in Air Mada office it will add agent fee to the fare. I will lend next month directly at Nosy Be with zero domestic flights. My view is like that.

Tana-only glacier BADOO etc with zero things to do so boring city.

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

Majunga-nice and clean city but not for me. Challenging for girls. Ultimately no conclusive verdict especially when comparing to the old wild Mada.

Tamatave-Everyone like that city but me. I mean really not for me.

Diego-Professional girls ask 50 k ST at taxi-Be, hotels good value but overall boring.

Nosy-Be-best all mada: food, girls but most hotel has Vahaza price. I saw a nice gym and I would like to come back next month after Pokris / Neddy report.

Small towns were mongering paradise once but long gone. So jumping from a city to city seems a waste of time now. For example I was revving on LE Sainte-Marie but went back in high season few month ago and it become near slum. Manakara I posted review not bad but not worth for Mongering. Sambava Anthala expensive and no food nearly no girls seems girls become richer due to Vanila price. Many own Motobike etc.

So Mada is definitely changing and less good places to monger but still far better then Kenya for me.

I am making plans to go in October.

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

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

Hello all fellow mongers,

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

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

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

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

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

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

What you are describing is doable and since NB has the best nearby beaches it is probably your logical choice. I don't think that Majunga would fit and Toliara doesn't have a each. That said you could go up the coast to stay (not sure about villas though) and have your driver zip you into town any time you want. Infrastructure there is lacking though and you sound like the partying type so after a while you would probably be bored out of your mind. I don't know what you do for a living but you better have deep pockets. Aside from the pussy NB is the most expensive place in Mada. For the villa, driver and guide full time you are looking at serious bucks. Not to mention feeding and watering five chicks a day (who will always be wanting seafood, not the usual crap they eat) and you may have issues with competition for your company which could get very uncomfortable. Sounds like fantasy island! If you make it come true let us know how it works out.

SE.[/QUOTE]Agree.

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

The girls are easy to fnd. But they will become jealous very quick and you sit in the middle of a group of fighting Malgache shouting furies.

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

MONEY CAN NOT BUY EVERYTHING!

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

You violate a prime law. Keep a low profile.

Neddy.

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

I did find a decent option for Villa:

[URL]https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2914524?location=Nosy%20Be%2C%20Madagascar&adults=1&check_in=2019-09-12&check_out=2019-09-20&source_impression_id=p3_1565519547_1ynsFWpeID8NZ52b&s=VN2crCo4[/URL]

This was about 290 EUR per night.

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

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

This could turn ugly quickly, which is why I figured it's best to have cold hard pro's who know that I am not there to find a wife. Yet, it's fun when you get loads of attention from different girls. And experience shows, that even a proper pro could be fun in terms of sex, in some cases, even better. Get them drunk, make them feel comfortable and these girls can make your nights very special.

[QUOTE=Amadeuss;2358215]Middle of a group of fighting Malgache shouting furies.[/QUOTE](Thumbs Up).

[QUOTE=Neddy69;2358419]You violate a prime law. Keep a low profile.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the feedback, Neddy! Highly appreciated.

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

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

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

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

We stay tuned.

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

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

Neddy!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Expert how much for the extra 30 days?

I was in the area just a couple of nights ago and I never saw one taxi. There are very few here. You could arrange one every night but it would be expensive if you wanted the guy on call all night. I walked down that stretch around 9 PM and while it is dark it does not seem dangerous. Lots of people and pousse pousse about even later. 500 metre walk back to Serena a piece of [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url]. Also if you stay there you are right down the street from Pokeris' favourite disco. I found that on weeknights it doesn't get going till a bit later. At 9 PM on a Wednesday it was absolutely empty but shortly after people started to show up. I have a terrible cold that kept me in yesterday and still feel like shit but I intend to go check it out on a Sunday tomorrow.

Distance is short and street quite well enlighted, except a small part along some bars. One girl told me that there was robbers in these bars so I avoid to walk on their side too close, but nothing happened.

Or I was lucky, or its quite safe there, and I think its the second option.

Far different from tana.

Either stay at Sud Plazza or Central. Beautiful old colonial hotel with big rooms and big balcony. A bit run down and test the matresses. Just go out with enough money for a couple of beers and a cheap phone. And be aware of your surroundings and don't get completely pissed you be good. The bad guys are more after inside jobs. Like bar owners known to have cash on them when they close down. You'll love it. Late night and on the hot afternoons its a ghost town.

Neddy.

Who had a blast there and is deciding soon to return to Isle Rouge or finally go to Ethiopia.

Tough choice.

Serena Hotel in on Boulevard Philibert Tsiranana. It's not an alley but a road. It's not lighted all along but not dangerous to walk at night. You won't find taxis easily at night. You will have to use pousse pousse. I did not use the pousse pousse but walk all along. There are always people walking along this road even at night. No need to worry.

I don't know. This is the guy who thought Nosy Be had an inadequate supply of pussy and the scene was too small. I am not sure he will be blown away by Toliara, which is a lot quieter and more spread out than Nosy Be.

SE.

As I have said I took a photo at the immigration counter at NosyBe. Unfortunately the desk was to high so the photo crop the price.

But you can see they referring to police extension. Also look for the year 2019.

Well that is a fine looking photo, but since the price is cropped, could you just tell us?

I love your mongering style.

The only drawback I forsee is security, as having a few girls in your villa will generate jealousy and attract boyfriends, pimps and wanderers so I would recommend you hire extra security, use a safe.

And make it really clear that only your guests are welcomed and that they should be monitored. Usually when you bring a girl in an hotel they collect her ID just in case of (and to make sure they are not [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord903][CodeWord903][/url]).

It may be a good idea to do so with your guests.

In Nosy Be, you will find plenty of luxurious villas but the girls are quite hardcore pros so it would be quite risky not to be mainstream. Tulear may be a safer place to open your private plaboy mansion.

Wherever you go, I am eager to get a full debrief of this quite innovative experience.

I recommend you bring a lot of cash to make sure you're getting robbed and possibly killed by the " additional" security.

As for security in Tulear. Look at the kind of walls the rich indian traders the Karane have erected. These houses are fortresses with 2 outer perimeter walls at least 8 meters high. Last year more than 19 rich karane have been abducted. They bring their family members to safety to France or Reunion.

Madagascar is not a place to play high roller. In case you missed it, its one of the poorest countries on the planet. You attract all kinds of goons and be sure you going to be relieved of your cash and of your life in no time. And the police will also be happy to assist you for a fee.

Stay in Las Vegas.

I have difficult time figuring out your "style'. You don't care about the cost of the extension (although many of us do and it is valuable info) and you are obviously spending thousands and thousands of dollars in airfare to jet around to all of these mongering locations. Yet on the other hand you stay in the cheapest of accommodations to the point where you have to go outside to get WiFi, and you want your pussy for free. How do you reconcile the apparently opposite traits in the same person, IE. You? Seems kind of odd.

SE.[/QUOTE]Funny question its a bit of complex unaware. First my last visa extension in Tana cost me 80 k if you remember they gave me 2 month only at ivato but the extension procedure was a nightmare. So for me to get it within NosyBe international airport was a good news regardless of the assumed 80 k price tag.

Yes, I just returned from Colombia and Brazil and those flights were expensive and I been everywhere in those countries taking UBER and premium class flights. Not economy. I normally stay within a budget of 2 K USD per month. So I cut in hotels as I can get the best hotels in the lowest price possible due to experience and negotiation skills. Normally I go to hotels when I negotiate directly with the owner not the stuff and not any booking platform.

Let me give you small example some early report states the hotel Robinson Crussoe in Nosy Be [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/pcqSQp22gU4poJnz7[/URL] cost 60 k per night. However I pay only 40 k at the peak season August. I do have wifi in that hotel although I manipulate the router for getting the best signal strength. Its a super comfortable place especially one of the Bungalows. As I mention earlier in Toliara previous trip I bought electric kettle to get hot water in a near perfect hotel for 30 k per night. Now in nosy be I pay 40 k with same trick.

So its all comes to budget management and optimization. Also I always know the real price for example TukTuk is only 500 AR within Ambatoloaka or 3 k to Hell-Ville. I do speak french so when I want a ride to Hell-Ville I just said 3 k 3 k without specify my destination. When they ask where to? I unsware 3 k. After a few seconds they say OK lets go as they know that for 3 k there only one possible destination. If you ask how much you are fucked. Same as I want to go to Hell-Ville.

Same person? NMExpert stand for New Mada expert which is evolved version of the older Mada expert. New expert has a magnitude more money, increased and higher standard of living but still burning hate to overpricing things.

So my style? It's a bit polarized I just spent a week in Hilton Frankfurt before my trip to Brazil and also took a Condo in Fortaleza and Rio but now in a super cute bungalow for 40 k Ariary in Nosy Be. Should I post a review on Nosy Be?

"When they ask where to? I unsware 3 k. After a few seconds they say OK lets go as they know that for 3 k there only one possible destination. If you ask how much you are fucked. Same as I want to go to Hell-Ville. " You have sure got that right. The cocksuckers would absolutely not take me for 3 K. They just drive away, won't accept the proper price. Maybe I need to learn more patience!

Should you post a review? Why not although I am not sure how much use it will be to those of us who don't mind paying for pussy when you are only looking for free stuff.

[QUOTE=Neddy69;2363249]Its not innovative. Its dumb and shows that you have no clue about Madagascar.

I recommend you bring a lot of cash to make sure you're getting robbed and possibly killed by the " additional" security.

As for security in Tulear. Look at the kind of walls the rich indian traders the Karane have erected. These houses are fortresses with 2 outer perimeter walls at least 8 meters high. Last year more than 19 rich karane have been abducted. They bring their family members to safety to France or Reunion.

Madagascar is not a place to play high roller. In case you missed it, its one of the poorest countries on the planet. You attract all kinds of goons and be sure you going to be relieved of your cash and of your life in no time. And the police will also be happy to assist you for a fee.

Stay in Las Vegas.

Neddy.[/QUOTE]I think we both agree showing off too much in Madagascar will attract unwanted crowd. It's safer to keep a low profile, to stay away from crooks, drug dealers and nightlife experts. I would be more moderate about the risks.

You may have noticed that the only people been abducted are rich Karany. There are historical and cultural reasons for that. No place on earth is 100% safe but Madagascar is still much safer than other popular mongering.

Destinations. Been here for 6 years, never had a problem.

Tulear never sleeps. Most people hang out at night as it's too hot to do anything in daytime. So I would consider it safe.

I would personally always use a pousse-pousse as it's inexpensive and you never know. But Amazioe is not that bad, it.

Will be much more convenient.

[QUOTE=RangeLove;2362286]I bought a ticket Paris - Reunion island - Tulear for next October with Air Austral. Outbound will be quit long with a 6 hour layover in Reunion and another short layover at Fort Dauphin.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That would be my second choice and only for security reasons.[/QUOTE]

I have to spend several weeks in Toamasina on a business trip.

I am quite familiar with Queens and Taxi Be but girls out there are hardcore pros.

I heard Pandora re-opened but is almost empty. Pattaya is said to be the place to be.

Anyone been recently out there with fresh intel?

French mongers who wish to visit Madagascar or any other African country without carrying huge wads of money on them can apply for a carte Max. Except for the exchange rate there are no other costs involved. It seems to be similar to the Barclays card for British residents. Read it on the French mongers site Youppie. Best alternative I found for non French or British residents is Revolut but they will charge you 2% on top of the exchange rate if you withdraw more than 200 Euro within a month.

My 2 cents.

Ya I looked at revolut. These cards are all based on Bitcoin. I am old fashioned and consider this funny money and just a huge ponzi scheme. Its being pushed now as unlike banks there is almost no currency spread between buying and selling rates.

A friend of mine lives 35 years in Kenya and has been robbed only three times at gunpoint.

I don't suggest people exhange pounds to ariary at mada because the rate isn't great at all. Better use cards which don't have any fees or at least revolut card its still be cheaper than money exchangers.

The only bank I have found to be reliable in Mada for MC is BFV-SocGen. BNI says it does but I have never been able to get money out of a BNI ATM with my MC. On another (down) note Bank of Africa is starting to charge a fee for ATM withdrawal. 10200 Ariary. Needless to say I went elsewhere. This was in Hellville. Maybe not country wide yet? Let's hope it doesn't spread. It's not much but it is nonsense when you can only withdraw 400000 at a time!

My journey so far was as follows although I will not go to mongering details due to lack of interest.

Nosy-Be- The hotel I saw staying for 40 k was excellent base to relax and enjoy the beach, surfing the internet ect. Girls clearly not my type as they all pro and business oriented so I was staying with a girl I met 3 years ago as she was one of the hotel stuff then and now we met again. So I have mix feeling regarding Nosy. From one hand its a comfortable place and cheap but after a week or so I got bored even that I got a girl that I liked. However if you like clubbing and feel comfortable with ladies of the night then this place is one of the best in the world for SSS. Sex, Sun, Sea.

Ambanja-one of the worst places to be but I was there for 3 nights in hotel Hibiscus 60 k huge room with Aircon and hot water no WiFi. As usual I met girls around town and went with them to a tour see where they live met the family etc. Since my goal was to reach SAVA Region I found a 4 x 4 that went direct to Vohemar. Unfortunately trip was cancelled.

Ambilobe-Very nice town with super hot girls. I was stayed there 3 days at hotel National at 52 k Aircon room with WiFi. I got two hot girls which I met around town and saw also big clubs but stayed the night with the girls instead of going out. RN5 A connects ambilobe with vohamar and supposed to be under construction as the chines finance the projects. I bought a 4 x4 ticket but when the trip was delayed a few hours I got my 50 k back and decided instead to reach Sambava from diego by Air.

Diego-road from Ambilobe wa terrible and I was in diego for two nights then I took a flight to sambava. My take on Diego is similar to previously as a place to avoid.

Sambava-Meet here my GF from two years ago and I have no plan for mongering here, Sambava is not recommended anymore unless you have specific affaire like me.

To sum-the best surprise for girls was Ambilobe but the infrastructure are lacking although some hot non pro are available.

At first sight it seems withdrawals, opening and usage of the card is completely costless and there are no monthly fees. I didn't check the exchange rate. (Only for French fiscal residents). Another online French bank is Boursorama. Their Visa Ultim is also without cost. There is a catch though. You have to make one transaction monthly with the card. If you do not they will charge you 15€.

Should I post a review on Nosy Be?[/QUOTE]Thank you for your report on Nosy underneath. Having said that I don't understand the logic of your decisions. Why would someone who fly first class decide to stay in a lower end African hotel. It doesn't make sense unless your flights are paid for.

[QUOTE=TailPipe;2368008]...Why would someone who fly first class decide to stay in a lower end African hotel...[/QUOTE]I can answer that. Because flying economy is so fcking horrible, and a cheap hotel built from sticks in the tropics can actually be better and more interesting than some airconditioned, concrete bunker.

I have seen the bungalows at Robinson Crusoe and while they may be more "interesting", I'll take the aircon bunker thank you very much. As for business class travel, yeah it is far more comfortable than economy, but not many can afford to spend 3000 dollars on a ticket instead of 800. The expert stayed a week at the Hilton in Frankfurt. Depending on which one that would have been somewhere between 100 and 150 euro a night, yet he wants to spend only 10 in Nosy Be. I have been known to splurge on occasion, but I would rather spend the 1000 euro he blew on the Hilton on pussy and a nice hotel in NB, for a week! In fact you would be hard pressed to spend 100 euro a night in NB for a very good hotel and more pussy than you can handle. And his obsession with not paying for pussy just seems weird. Why take the time and trouble, not to mention the expense, of going to a country where the pussy is so cheap it's almost free, and then deny yourself the benefits of it?

I guess I will never understand it.

Girls are easy and will say "Bon soir" or "Ca Va" to you on the street and if you smile or reply then they will latch onto your arm or follow you. Food is not good. So far the best food is supposed to be Baobao Kafe which only opens at 7 pm. Good breakfast or lunch can be had at Tsy Manin. Batu Moch is (relatively) good but it's 24 k-28 k for 'LE petit dejeuner'. For cheap eats I recommend Chez Mama across the street from the Casino because she has Rice and Beef with free filtered water for just 9 k and some other meals. Taxi Be is definitely the place for girls but the last 3 occasions I said 'Trente Mil' (30 k), every girl said OK but in the room they always gave me grief and took a long while (griefing me constantly) to kick out while they complained even after giving another 5 k for "Taxi money". They kept babbling about how it's not normal and it's 50 k. 2 of them refused BJ outright. Is it high season or crazy season? Staying at the Robinson and its fine. Fan and mosquitoes but cheap at 60 k. For better the Ambatoloaka Hotel has a sign in front that says 25 euro, 20 euro, and 60 k. Also the Beluga Hotel is 25 Euro on the beach not far from Robinson.

Is anyone else getting this much trouble from the girls?

For food go to La Bidule in Dar. Good breakfast and lunch. And not every girl gives blowjob. They are not pattaya hard core hookers. They are sweet malgache country girls trying to make some money. Treat them well and be happy they don't look at the watch. If you're happy with the service repeat. If not then not.

Neddy has a good point. They know you are a tourist and will try to extract extra from you. Stick to your guns and pay what you say. Perhaps get some phone numbers and have them over during the day. Once they know you are a steady income source you may get them calling you, and for the amount you want to pay. Don't forget NB is the most expensive place in the country and the girls know you have lots of cash, even if you don't flash it around. As for no BJ, never had it happen yet, knock on wood!

You should definitely not pay more than 40 k for the night. It s possible to pay less but as a newbie it seems you are not able to do that yet.

Never had a girl who refused BJ to me. She doesn't want BJ then out. Don't be weak.

As for hotels who quote prices in euros I boycott them. Remind the owners it s illegal. It s just a way to get more money from you.

Last but not least a smile means nothing in Madagascar.

They kept babbling about how it's not normal and it's 50 k. 2 of them refused BJ outright. Is it high season or crazy season? Staying at the Robinson and its fine. Fan and mosquitoes but cheap at 60 k. For better the Ambatoloaka Hotel has a sign in front that says 25 euro, 20 euro, and 60 k. Also the Beluga Hotel is 25 Euro on the beach not far from Robinson.

Is anyone else getting this much trouble from the girls?[/QUOTE]Hi!

Chez Pat restaurant has good food and pizza from their wood-fired oven. Right at the beach when you go past Baobab round the corner, 40 meters at the right hand side towards the end of the beach. Zéburger opposite LE Billard has decent snacks and meals. Next to the Casino "Loock Ness". Also good. Right oppsosite another restauarant (plat du jour / daily special 16000 AR, large Sandwiches / Baguettes 10000 AR). Karibo and Indian restaurant, all located at the parking. Yummy. Opposite Ody Hotel you will find "La Palazetto" restaurant. 15 meters from there towards the parking Boutique artisanale "Chez Louisette". Walk inside and you find Guillaume. He offers three different meals a day 17000 AR. Very good, like in the Provence Bakes bread every day! Open from 7/8 am to 3/4 pm. Closed on mondays. Concerning the girls I prefer daytime short time action. 20 to 30 K depending on the girl. Take a walk on the beach after the siesta around 4 or 4:30 pm. You will see a couple of girls walking around looking for vahasas they can offer their massage service. Be careful at night. Make sure your personal belongings are locked away, when you enter your room with a girl. There were a couple of thefts recently. I pay 40 K longtime plus tip 5 K. Sometimes they don't stick to the amount agreed upon beforehand and ask for more. If she is reluctant to leave or gets aggressive, my advice would be to not touch or push her. Call the guard. He will tell her to leave.

[QUOTE=Neddy69;2369394]You mean the police checkpoint at night at the end of rue de l independence doesn't ask for 10 k cadeau any more? LOL.

BTW. Where is a good area for picking up local merina models. I am sure there is other clubs around town where you see no vazaha.

And I want to rent a fully furnished apartment in Tana for a month. I am looking at haute ville. Any other residential area you recommend? Give us the lowdown. As I am crazy enough to love Tana.

Neddy.[/QUOTE]Absolutely. There are NO police checkpoint in Tana anymore, neither by day or night. It's a big relief for expats.

If you saty some time in Tana, I prsonnaly don't like Ville Haute as it's noisy by night, dirty, expensive and heavily polluted.

Best neighborhood is Ivandry, far away.

Near LE Glacier, try Faravohitra or Ambandy.

I'm in Madagascar next week, downloaded badoo to hit the ground running and I can only message one girl I like the others I need to upgrade to message.

Signed up to afrointroductions and didn't realize that was a paid site too.

Are any worth paying for, or enough options on the ground that not needed.

Unless you are blind or have never mongered before there is plenty on the ground. This is one of the best things about the country in my opinion. A country where you can actually meet chicks and interact with them before you decide. None of this social media / date in xxxxx hit or miss bullshit. Best of all you don't need to buy drinks and if you do it costs the same as yours. Have fun and write a report after.

Need to be patient, but I had some nice contacts through this site.

Arrived tana airport, 37 dollar 30 day visa, passed baggage and security is an ATM that works with mastercard and no fees. Paid 50 k for 30 day sim plan and 500 for the sim from Telma shop at the airport. 60 k taxi to hotel LE relais norm and, haven't paid yet but think its 62,500 for the basic room, room has seen better days but does the job, everything works.

5 k taxi to LE glacier 9.30 pm, a few alright girls but first night I need to go to a few spots to see a wide sample so I know the range of quality if that makes sense. So head manson after 11 pm, 7 k taxi I like it in here nice bar, more girls and better quality, you can't walk around without getting approached constantly, take some numbers before moving onto taxi be, 10 k taxi, spot the girl I liked in glacier earlier, a small girl with one of the more prominent asses I saw that night, so chat to her, agree 50 k in the morning, 10 k taxi back. She was all good did everything I wanted, had no change so gave her 60 k in the morning.

Good first night, I did make notes that taxis were 5 k but these guys wouldn't budge from 10. Still very cheap taxis but just checking?

Also now I'm out here badoo seems to work fine, plenty of matches to go through.

But the best is still hunting on the ground. With some words in Malgache and a smile on your face.

Mojo bar. Just a few local guys with girls.

La suite 101 - Closed one night, and the next night empty with a few locals.

LE red. Not many people, just a few girls and french guys but nothing interests me.

Glacier. Seems people go here earlier 7-9 pm then better girls move on or have been taken. And you see them later at Manson or taxi be.

Manson. Always really busy by 11 pm.

Taxi be. Also busy by 11 pm.

Is there any other bars / clubs worth trying?

Police. Heading to taxi be, on the way I get stopped at police checkpoint (Looking at the map I think it was on Arabe Andrinampoinimerina) I have copy of my passport but they want original. I play dumb for ages but three of them ask me to get out the car and say 20 each or go to station. I bring it down to 10 each.

Couple days later going taxi be again, there is no checkpoint but just before turning onto the same road a police motorbike makes us pull over, I think he was sat waiting for people. I have my passport this time but he wants vaccine certificate so basically they will make up anything for the bribe. I prepared by hiding all my money and only leave 10 in the wallet, he wants 100 k and show him the ten but he says we go bank and get 100 k, I don't carry cards. So he says I will have Euros at my hotel and he will keep my passport while we go to my hotel and get 50 euro and shows me a 50 euro note he said was from someone else. I tell him to just take the 10 I have on me, he takes that and goes.

So I'm not going taxi be again, seems they are trying to catch people going that way.

I have been paying 50 k for the night for girls from bars and brought one girl round during the day from Badoo for 30 k.

LE relais normand basic rooms are now 75 k so I've moved to select hotel, much better location next to galcier and much better rooms with balcony at 82 k. The doors open by card I prefer a key so I can lock it from the inside. Both hotels always want to keep the girls ID.

Getting taxis between bars at night I see the odd street walker about or sometimes in a group, not my thing though.

Don't encourage corruption. If you have certified copy no need to pay. You paid each of them because they ask? Are you serious? So if they are 10 you pay 10 times? Pure BS. Be smarter than these thieves and show them no fear. If you had passport the 2nd time why are you still negotiating? Tell him to f. K off and threaten him to report him to Bianco. There is no need for vaccination proof in Mada. Everybody knows that.

Even now report all of them to Bianco.

Sir Neddy.

Noted to not pay the bribe next time. But I'd rather just avoid it and stay away from taxi be, you see the same girls either earlier or on other days at glacier and Manson so no need to go.

But I'd rather just avoid it and stay away from taxi be, you see the same girls either earlier or on other days at glacier and Manson so no need to go.[/QUOTE]Don't feel bad about paying bribes. In fact I paid a couple of times in Senegal. What I refuse to pay silly money. I tip like 1 to 2 euros. I consider it a tip for the poor bugger of police man who sometimes doesn't get paid for months on end and has a family to feed. On top of his meagre salary he has the real chance of getting killed in the line of duty by armed cattle rustlers or bandits. You did well by standing your ground and refuse to pay silly money though. For me I make it a game to sneak past police checkpoints. They are usually at the same spot mostly choke points. I could write a book about bribes.

Neddy.

Left Tana for now, I didn't pay it but there is a 20 k charge per night for double occupancy at select hotel.

I think Manson is the best spot though I find some can be rude in there when you turn them down or decline to buy them a drink.

BNI bank and sociate general both take mastercard no fees.

Took 72,000 return cotisse bus to tamatave from tana, I booked a few days in advance took 9 hours.

Stayed at flamboyant hotel 60 k for room with A/Cand balcony, room has seen better days but everything works.

La terrace. Good food, maybe 10 or so girls in the back on a weekday evening. Weekend evening 20 or so in there. They start moving elsewhere close to 11 pm.

Taxi be. Walked down here and it was closed. A girl later told me the police have closed it down.

Queens. This is a walk down the road from la terrace in the other direction to taxi be. On a weekday this was quite empty had about 10-15 girls and a few guys by 11 pm, though no other clubs open apparently. Weekend bit busier but still quite empty, some girls seemed to come for one drink after terrace and move on.

New York New York. Saw only a few of the worse girls from Queens in here and then just locals and tourists. 10 k entry.

Pandora. Big place loads of girls, lots from terrace and queens moved on to here. Beers only 4 k too. It's a bit further out than the other places, police checkpoint on the way.

There are a few street walkers on the road between la Terrace and queens.

Paid 50 k for the night here.

Paid 1 k for tuk tuks during the day 2 k per person at night or 5 k taxi at night.

Prefer it here to Tana, less choice and tana is busy even on weekdays but the whole place is more relaxed, girls seem more chill and they have more African features which I prefer.

Back to Isle rouge at last. The long haul Air France deposited me on time. Immigration flawless efficient. Paid 40 Euros for 60 days on arrival. Sort out extension later. Hotel prices are up in Tana. Practically nowhere less than 75 k. Rest remains the same. Although some glacier girls want to maximize profits. Case in point donated 60 k. Betsimisiraka girl asked for a 10 k tip on TOP. Ok. My fault didn't negotiate in advance. Glacier is rocking. All there. Getting on the [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] right now on THB. Screw Sexprison.

Sir Neddy.

Back in Paradise. Disco Disco Party Party. Loads of birds in Glacier at 5.20 pm. Good vibez. Just take your pick. 50+ playground. Learn 100 words french and 10 words of malagsy though.

Neddy,

Prices are for ST or LT?

Good hunting.

Heading to Tamatave on Wednesday. Booked on Cotisse Premium riding in style. I heard of TB in Tamatave being closed already. Which is a bit of a pain in the neck as Pandora is far and have to run the police gauntlet. But I have a waiting list on Afro of eager 19 to 20 year old Betsimisiraka chicas already.

My expat contacts told me a hilarious story. Apparently due to the recent visit of the pope they pulled all the licenses of Discotheques being dens of prostitutions. LOL. So all the places were closed down temporarily until they changed their licenses to bars. Hahahaha. Why Taxi Be in Tamatave hasn't reopened I don't know. I liked it for the convenience but at that time last year pandora was closed. So maybe somebody paid to keep Taxi Be closed as before Pandora was the premier discotheque....

Said than done, but if you carry a photocopy of your passeport, there isn't much they can do to you. 20 k is the maximum you should pay.

If you want to visit Taxi Be, there is a brand new 3-stars hotels 20 meters away on the same lane. 60€/ night but worth every penny.

It has done me a good benefit in organizing my upcoming trip in December.

Seeing is believing, pictures most appreciated.

The black ink.

Can you give the name of the hotel near Taxi Be Antananarivo? Can't see it on Google Maps. Thank you.

[QUOTE=Nemo974;2381375] If you want to visit Taxi Be, there is a brand new 3-stars hotels 20 meters away on the same lane. 60/ night but worth every penny.[/QUOTE]

Tinte, the best thanks you can give is a detailed report after your trip. Enjoy yourself in December.

SE.

Got a flight with tsaradia for 120 euros took 2 hours. 50 k taxi to tana airport. In Diego 30 k taxi to hotel.

My bag got left behind in Tana and lots of bags did, apparently there is a back log so they take bags off and put on left behind bags from the previous flights so for days people have been having bags left behind, I met people in the hotel who had the same problem a few days prior. It did turn up to my hotel the next day though.

Stayed at la terrasse du voyageur for 54 k room. Not walkable to the action from here. Hotel ambassador I passed seems to be closer to the bars / clubs, I paid tuk tuks 1 k day and night. Taxi 3 k at night.

Wasn't here long. I just saw Facebook contacts paid 30 k short term. But ventured out once on a weekday.

La vahinee. Lots of expats, maybe 15 or so girls, as previously reported there was some poor girls. One doable girl for me. They all move onto taxi be which is 50 m away shortly before 11 pm.

Taxi be. Also loads of expats in here. Maybe 20 or more girls.

Is it LE Centell Hotel & Spa?

[QUOTE=Nemo974;2381375] If you want to visit Taxi Be, there is a brand new 3-stars hotels 20 meters away on the same lane. 60/ night but worth every penny. [/QUOTE]

First the bad news. Taxi Be Tamatave seems to have been closed down for good by the authorities. Apparently there were m. Ors frequenting that place so they lost their operating license. Now the good news. While Tana is bustling with tourists which reflects in price increases, especially hotels, Tamatave remains unchanged price wise. Climate very pleasant and loads of hot chics roaming everywhere. I love Betsimisaraka chics. Most of them have good tits and fair skinned. Yesterday I had a date with a drop dead gorgeous nonpro. She had slant eyes with an asian touch to drown in and her cleavage oooh boy. But playing coy we just went for a soda then I dropped her at home.

Plan be. I called up a superslim tiny chica nice be Cups. We met at La Terasse. The place is teaming with chicas of all sizes. Some really hot and doable. I had a good night. Shot 2 loads. I donated 60 k in the morning. Friday I am heading to LE Pandora. On weekends there should be a decent mix of pros down to non pros. I ll report.

I like the food options in Tamatave. Price for the best Burger in the southern hemisphere goes to Sarkis BTW. Also Queens rocks. When you go in that place you feel like in a time warp if you're 50+. Cool and the Gang. She's fresh. Do I need to say more. But it's not busy.

Sir Neddy.

Take Cotisse Premium. Worth every penny. Rode in style. Left Tana 0900 am. Arrived exactly 0600 pm. Take 2 nd Row behind driver loads of leg room.

[QUOTE=Manfield04;2381867]Is it LE Centell Hotel & Spa?[/QUOTE]Yes, Centell hotel. It's a halal hotel with NO ALCOHOL served in the restaurant. But girls are welcome of course.

Personnally the closure of Taxibe isn't a big loss. No need to wait for the night to find a girl here. Never found Tamatave appealing anyway except for the girls if they stay cheap. Roads are full of potholes. Rain most of the time.

60 k for the night is more than what I would pay in Tana. 40 k without negotiating is regular price. Even 30 k is possible.

As for the burger I would give it a miss. The only fresh thing is the fish here if it comes from far because on the seashore the water is really dirty. At least in Majunga you can swim. Here you have to go at least to Mahambo to get something decent.

Even though prices are slowly edging up I too enjoy the food options in Tamatave, at least until you have tried them all 10 times! I also second the burger recommendation. Cheaper than most in the country, well cooked and huge. Only thing I did not like was the oversize bun. Way too much bread. As for fresh, why would you assume that a country practically covered in Zebu not be able to deliver beef that is not going to make you ill? You give up Zebu you give up a third of your diet. I like seafood as much as the next guy but I'll be damned if I give up beef over the small chance it will make me ill.

SE.

Tamatave rocks. My tight tiny spinner from the pirate island just left. Her sexual energy left me not knackered but I get younger and refreshed by the day. Notwithstanding what other posters with 6 posts of no substance whatsoever about Mada to their credit babbling about potholes....

Yes. Its the typical mada town. Open overflowing stinking sewers. Almost no working street lights. Obnoxious touts. Street hawkers. Aggressive beggars. Cheating tuktuk drivers. Crumbling art deco buildings slowly eaten away by the humidity.

Do I love it. You bet. The best and driest and most pleasant months are September to November. Almost no rain except some drizzle now and then. And I prefer not to sweat while shagging.

Now the good parts.

There is loads of excellent eateries for a song. Chinese. Indian. Gasy gargottes. Cebu steak. Fish. Chicken brochettes. You can eat yourself through for weeks on end. A number of boulangeries where you can enjoy your morning coffee. There is a number of gyms with good cardio equipment. There is Olympic size swimming pools. Some brand new luxury apartment buildings are going up. Good 4 G coverage throughout. A wide range of lodgings from run down mosquito infested 30 k all the way up to luxury are available. 60 k a day gives you a decent accommodation.

And. The girls. There is loads of stunners roaming the streets doing their shopping or stroll in pairs in the evening. All over from the East coast. I had a number of real stunners from Ste. Marie. Must be the pirate heritage of the 150 or so original families. And the boites. I love Sarkis and Queens for warm up.

Then its 11 pm off to LE Pandora. Took a tuktuk with my wing man for 5 k. Whizzing past la police checkpoint which were busy checking cars. Who suspects 2 vazaha in a tuktuk. And then LE Pandora. Wow I looove that joint. Beer is 5000 AR. No entrance. The place is huge. There is 2 big halls with a big dance floor and the usual mirror wall where a number of hot gazy chicas gyrate on high heels. The place is bustling with gasy playboys, vazaha expats, high rolling wheeling dealers with fat gold chains and full bottle of Red Label in front of them. First the Dj plays disco mix. At 0100 he turns on the heat gasy disco is on. Its brillant. I hit the dance floor. I always select girls from the dance floor. There is this hot tiny spinner on high heels moving her nice ass in front of the mirror wall. She has thin braids down to the ass. Paradise. She sees me moving up from behind and voila. Target lock on. She snugs herself tight up to me and we hit it off. Getting high on music. Then we move to a quiet corner and make out like 2 teenagers in love. Deep tongue kissing. She's red hot. It's 0200 am. Time to bed her. Took another tuktuk. Don't worry about la police. The checkpoint is gone at that time. Same in Tana. So nothing to worry. I spare you the graphic description of the rest of night. Only as much. Pussy as much as you are able to handle.

La Buse

Getting a hot shower and then off to breakfast.

Below new gasy hit. Wendy...

I will be visiting Tana soon. I haven't seen any report on Lova Hotel. So, was wondering whether anyone has stayed at this hotel which is near to Select Hotel and could provide any feedback on their guest policy.

It seems that no monger from this forum has stayed at the Lova Hotel. May be I will stay at either the Sole Hotel or Sakamanga Hotel. Cheers.

Ok guys. Here it is for you guys who want to brave the murky waters of malagasy buerocracy.

First advice. Don't do it in Tana. Any provincial capital can do it. Like Tamatave.

You need:

2 Passport pictures.

1 copy of your passport with the ID page.

1 copy of your VOA page in your passport.

1 copy of your return ticket within the maximum 90 days allowed.

You take all the above plus your original passport to:

Below that's Maps. Me reference.

Provincial Government office huge building near the banque national.

Government Office.

Ge0:8 bC0 MP-L-1/ aregion_Atsinanana.

On the ground floor turn right 3rd office on the right its the chef de securite de territoire regionale, control de migration, to get your paperwork sorted and fill out another visa application form. He then issues you a payment slip which you pay in at:

Direction General des Impots in Rue de Commerce in the first floor at Caisse B. There a new timbre visa is fixed and stamped in your passport. The fee is 80.000 AR.

Then you return to LE Chef (if he's there) to have the visa signed and counterstamped and voila. You can spend another 30 days in paradise.

Best time should be Tuesday to Thursday from 0900 to 1100 and 1430 to 1700. The challenge is to meet LE chef when he's actually in the office and in good mood.

Bonne chance.

La Buse.

I booked the firts 3 nights there including airport shutel at "reasonable" price.

It's well located to the major attraction of Tana and the rest we will find out.

He told me (hint hint) its very hot today and would like to have a cold beer. Actually he can buy almost three THB grand model.

Thank you for your advice and recommendations. I have booked all three hotels. A Double Room at Sole Hotel is at MGA 120 k per night, breakfast included. The Soft Room at Sakamanga is offered at €43.00 per night whereas a Double Room at the Lova Hotel is at €40.00 per night, breakfast not included at these two hotels. The Sole Hotel and Sakamanga Hotel have confirmed my booking while the Lova hotel has not replied to my queries regarding their guest policy. One week before my stay I will finalize in which hotel I will stay and which booking I will cancel.

Anyone know if Malagasycar is operating right now, and running the Ambanja-Majunga route? Can't seem to contact them. Anyone know of other travel options by land (other than the dreaded 20+hour overnight taxibrousse, or flying to Tana.).

Taxi Brousse is possible.

From ambanja to Majunga is 50 k Ariary.

From nosy be to ambanja and later Majunga 15 k for ferry and ticket for ambanja to majunga you have to buy at the same counter at nosy be.

I am lazy lately. Why head to Pandora? Around the stadium as soon as the night falls there is at least 30 SWs. Most are regulars. But not all. It pays to check in between 0730 pm and 1000 pm. There is sometimes fresh meet aka semipros looking for a quick buck. They are usually strolling in pairs. Today I pulled a regular slim chica with kinky tattoos and blonde braids for ST. Perfect after dinner at L'Affiche one of my favourite restos in Tamatave. Good extended BBBJ followed by DATY. As I was lazy after the dinner I let her mount me in Cowgirl. Oh what a tight snatch. I busted my nut too soon. I let her go with 40 k AR in her pocket. I could have knocked her down to 30 k. But hey. I am generous tonite. The steak a la minute including salade de tomate and a queens beer set me back 23.500 AR.

Hard to beat. Spent a total of 63500 AR. Including fun. Thats 16! Euros for Dinner incl. Pussy. Hard to beat. But that cheap pussy comes at a price. You got to suffer. Eaten alive by mosquitos. Hunted by peanut sellers, street hawkers, beggars, police on the take. 12 hour Taxi Brousse rides in sweltering heat. Tropical disease. Ya guys. You got to earn Mada.

La Buse.

They fall generally in 2 categories. They ones you can bed straight away and the ones you have to wine and dine and bang them at the second date.

This weekend there was a big concert sponsored by the only brewery on the island. Star. Big venue in the beach. 100's of plastic chairs and tables. An there an ice cold THB GM sets you back only 3500 to 4000 AR. Lion Hill and Stephanie is on. I ve never seen a more peaceful crowd. And the chicas. Abundance is the word. At least half of Tamatave is on the move. Hustle and bustle. I enjoyed an excellent dinner again at L'Affiche. Much better then La Terasse. Medaillons a Cebu avec Riz Saffron and Salade de Tomate followed by Mousse au chocolat and a shot of Rhum Dzama Carte Noir with a slight Vanilla scent. My favourite rhum. Everything was washed down by an ice cold can of Gold Blanche. Heavenly food. Total bill came to 38500 AR.

After an excellent meal I was looking for a shag to match. The key is. Don't look. Just sit at one of the countless boites enjoy an ice cold THB and watch the hot chicas floating around.
I was about to go as literally out of the dark a lone chica approached. And there you have to make a split second decision. I waved and smiled. 30 seconds later I was set for the night.
The conversation was like: How are you? Are you from Tamatave ? Would you like a shag?
I am not kidding... Try that in sexprison. You're being charged for sexual assault. Here its perfectly normal. Thanks god.
After a bit ass groping and deep tongue kissing we wandered like lovers home back to my crib.
She was sweet as honey and all over me. We spent the night cuddling and shagging. In the morning I dropped 50k ar in her bag. Bisoux cherie.
Ya Tamatave rocks
La Buse

Last minute flight from Diego was 90 euros. 10 k tuk tuk to Diego airport. Flight takes 30 minutes. On the other side 50 k taxi from airport to Ambatoloaka.

Stayed Robinson Crusoe bungalows 60 k a night, walking distance to nightlife, basic stuff.

Taxi be and billards. Right next too each other, same girls move between. Getting busy by 10 pm. Also loads of girls just stand outside or opposite these two bars looking for customers.

Djemba and Sirene disco. I think djemba is open Mon, Tues, wed, sat but the days it doesn't open Sirene is open which is opposite. Weekdays free entry, 10 k at weekend. People move here between 1-2 am it seems on a weekday as they move on from taxi be and billards but not too many people. On weekend place was rammed by 1 am.

Taty chris. Only open Sundays, just walk down the beach, big place loads of people inside and outside on the beach. Was getting busy after 9 pm.

Was giving 50 k in the morning and they were happy with that. But I always tip 10 k for very good service and I might repeat.

Mbola tsara. After a grueling trip from Tamatave across isle rouge I arrived alive in the capital of the ancient capital of the Sakalava Kings. I book through cotisse. The first day took me 9 hours from Tamatave back to Tana with Cotisse Premium for 36 k AR. Interesting sights including one overturned Star Brewery truck which slipped off into a ditch at a needle curve. Slept in Hotel Miel right next to Cotisse for 50 k AR big new room. Karaoke is a bit noisy but stops at 2200 hrs.

Next day its off with Besady plus for 45k ar actually a cotisse branded trip at 0630 to Morandave the trip supposed to take around 12 hours. In fact it took exactly 13 hours and 30 minutes. My bum muscles are absolutely dead. The landscape changes dramatically after the bus turns off Antsirabe towards the lowlands of the western coast. There is a flat screen in the bus which blares out Gasy hits and gospels. Every three hours short stop to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134][CodeWord134][/url] and stretch. Then its off again in the Mercedes Sprinter into the blistering heat of la brousse at a steady pace of 70 to 80 kmh. I really like Cotisse. They have disciplined drivers. The goal is to arrive alive and not break a speed record unlike other companies. And they can track every bus via satellite.

After arrival I head straight to Cheval de Mer. But at 65 k this is way out of my budget range.

So next morning I head off to check alternatives.

First impression of Morandave. Its f. G hot today 37 is expected. A bord de mer its bearable. Saw already the beach patrol this morning. Big ass big tit chicas. At 1100 its already stifling so I move ops to hotel Zoom for 30 k.

IMHO forget the beach hotels. Morondava has a T layout. As you look towards the sea to the left its to the overpriced tourist joints. To the right its the gazy end of town. I am right smack in the middle. There is more to come in detail. I found a great luxury style brand new hotel for 60 k in town. I'll do a rundown on accommodation and boites later. For now I go into hiding until the sun disappears.

La Buse.

And lot of good reminds for me too, in Morondava I stayed at Morondava Beach, 70 k, not so bad and restaurant quite good.

But I didn't understood how to find girls on the beach, I saw very few there.

The only I saw were walking on the street in fornt of the hotel, at any time, evening or day time. Asking for massage. Nice reminds.

Waiting for the following reports!

Try Insomnia club and Nosy Be Club both are in Nosy Kelly. But its seems that Baobar was the most active club.

After meeting some expat friends of mine which are a treasure trove of info and swapping loads of unbelievable stories I went for dinner a bord de mer. In Bleu soleil. Excellent food. After a late afternoon nap its time to rock and roll. At 1030 pm the town is deserted. Don't expect a lot in terms of night life.
For warmup go to Karafun a totally Gasy joint on the airport road far from town with the usual Karaoke setup. You need a tuktuk or pousse. At night 2000 to 5000 AR. Mixed bag if you can stand a lot of people trying to sing false gasy songs. But La Buse is not here for the show. Non. There is about 20 WG chicas dispersed on the tables. But the quality is so so. Nothing which catches my eye. Except a perfect gorgeous 9. 5 chica tall model stunner. The drawback. She's with a gasy hombre. Lucky man. This is a warmup joint. People filter out at 0030 am then its off to Nosy Kely.
The epicentre of night life revolves around Insomnia. 3000 k to get inside. And of course my stunner moved there too. The dance floor is heating up with Naija hits. There is chicas for take out but again. Nothing to write home about. Until a tiny chica caught my eye. Crazy dancer. Then the selector pumps it maan. Ya jamaican and gasy dancehall is on. I start to wind with my chica. And sure enough she grinds my dick down. O maan. And then she gropes my dick and checks me out on the dance floor. But being a tourist area you got to watch for people who want to set you up. There is gasy Rasta trou de cules and local men who try to interject. There was this dreadlock connard watching me winding and babbling away in french. Blabla where I stay and its against the law you know what. Go and va te faire foutre!
But you don't know what they're up to, so for me I call it a night. Here IMHO stay at daygame. Don't forget its a small town. 35.000. But the bright there is loads of sweet lasses doing their afternoon walk. And I take my sweet time.

La Buse.

Its also a dangerous place don't even reply to the beach boys offering you a trip boat. Also Night is dangerous.

I fucked two badoo girls but nothing to rave about and got sick from food poisoning. Best strategy to keep to toliara if you like the south. I also would suggest to go to the market for a morning "coffee" you will see many traditional girls AKA brusse girls. [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/jb6zGoK1mXFZrozM9[/URL].

Neddy.[/QUOTE]I know weather can be tricky this time of the year, but ticket is booked already. Most important girls still be here.

I will be arriving for the first time in Madagascar towards the second half of this month. I'm planning to stay a couple of days in Tana to get a feel of the city and then move on. My main issue right now is planning what direction I want to go. It's a big country and unless you have an unlimited budget to take domestic flights as you please, logistically it is a nightmare. Very often the only logical way to continue travelling is doing just the opposite, to go back as there are no alternatives to carry on.

I have 6 weeks in total and I want to combine hobbying with tourist activities. Originally my plan was to go to Nosy Be but I don't fancy going all the way to Nosy and then return to Tana to continue further on. So I think I'll be heading to Tamatave. I love travelling by train. From Moramanga there is a line going to Ambatondrazaka and another one going to Tamatave. I read that since a couple of months the train is out of use for an undetermined period of time. Does anyone have any updated information about that? From Tamatave I want to continue following the coast southward all the way up to Manakara and there take the train to Fianantsaroa. I will be taking a girl with me as I believe the mongering scene between Tamatave and Manakara will be limited.

The tricky part between Tamatave and Manakara is the stretch between Mahanoro and Nosy Varika. If you look on the map you will see there is a road the 'route nationale 11'. The problem is that I haven't been able to find one person who actually has driven it, no car, no 4 x 4, no taxi brousse not even a lorry. It seems that everyone takes cargo 'boats' over the Pangalanes canal and it takes 2-4 days. No bed, no sex maybe not even a seat or a toilet for all I know.

Get used to backtrack to Tana wether by flight or taxi brousse. Don't plan anything fancy on your first trip. My advice is always. Go to Tamatave first. Its the easiest option. And you get used to taxi brousse. Forget the trains. The only passenger train which might! be still operating is Fianar-Manakara. After Tamatave backtrack to Tana. For 6 weeks you could either fly to Nosy Be or Tulear. The only really good highways are RN 7 highway in the highlands and RN 2. Also RN 34/35 to Morondava ok. As well as RN4 to Mahajanga and on to Diego RN6 useable? All other " highways" are Bushtracks. Flying is no problem book early and be flexible. By far the best guide is the BRADT forget Lonely Planet. Utter crap.

.[/QUOTE]Listen to the advise given by Neddy.

I just want to add: only if your girl is an absolute stunner, take her along. Otherwise just travel alone. There are chances everywhere.

To travel from Tamatave on the Panglanes canal south to Manambato and from there by taxi brousse to Mananjara-Manakara is doable if you got the time. But starting from December, the rain on the east coast will get more heavy and by that the mud will stop any 4 x4 to pass the rivers.

One option for you, if you want to explore the island: take a flight from Tamatave north to Sambava and from there to Diego.

I like that place more and more. Totally laid back. Sunday night I went out. Near Insomnia there is a cool local boite. I love it. All the vezo fisherman hang out there. Goes by the name of daminazy. Just sit on the metal chair and watch the show. Hot massage girls filter in. Dropped by pousse. I waved. But they're shy. Sipping on my Castel GM I watched them disappear into dead ground. Some strange traffic patterns. In the end I bedded no chica but got on the pisser in the coolest reggae bar in the southern hemisphere. Jean LE Rasta. After some rhum arrange I called it a night. Jean who is a great host enjoyed some weed behind the bar. Great vibez. But no woman no cry. Except an expired bird which tried to attach herself to me. NFW.

Contemplating to go to the next level.

Morondave is for the discerning 70+ retired monger who wants to cuddle with 30 year plus massage girls or souvenir vendors. If you are looking for an easy lay and wide range of quality chicas that is 7+ no older than 23 don't come here. Here it's down to sheer luck. As there is only a handful mongers on the ground there is no choice. There is some hot girls around at night time.

But buyer beware. M. ors are roaming Insomnia at 2 am. There seems to be no age control at the entrance. Most hot chics are with gasy BFs.

I am sure if you live here as a retired senior monger it is heaven. But you need loads of time. There is no quick game.

But 99% are Lemur tourists passing through to the Alle de Baobabs or the Tsingy.

Here its the passage door for the adventure monger who likes to shag village girls.

Where else can you jump on a freight boutre under sail and make your way southbound to Morombe or Tulear and shag your way down south.

Cone here with a couple of months you'll find loads of sweet lasses.

Who hasn't found a decent lay for 5 days. Probable worse than Diego.

What you want to do in Mada with that kind of money. Its way too much. LOL. Here it's the minimum pensioners paradise. I know of people who get by on 200 dollars a month. 400 dollars you have a decent lifestyle. 600 dollars you can splurge. With a 1000 dollars you are Demi God. I'd say with a 1000 dollars you do ok anywhere in Mada. With 2000 dollars?? What would somebody do with so much money in Mada. Money is not the problem. You have to let Mada grow on you. The big challenge is WHERE to retire. You should have a squeaky clean bill of health as there is places where there is no doctor. Especially the traffic infrastructure is BAD. The next problem is housing. You can have an own reed hut erected for 70 dollars. A 1000 dollars builds you a big wooden bungalow. 10.000 dollars you get a huge piece of land and a big brick house on it. Except Nosy Be. There you have crazy real estate prices. Then start to learn french. Go and visit it frequently. And fall in love.

La Buse

But Mada keeps you young. Here is a french guy. I found out he's 85!! years. Looking at him I'd have figured he's 65... go figure.

As I am a budget monger I ll give you the lowdown from MY perspective.

First tourist island Nosy Kely. You have wide range of options. IMHO totally useless to spend more than 60 k AR a night unless you insist on a swimming pool.
Morondave Beach hotel. Gives you the best bungalow right off the beach. They also have 35 k AR bungalows but really basic. Even for me. The other ok option on island is Cheval de mer. Good location. Wooden bungalows for 60 k. If you take a month you can trade him down to 50 k.

Options in Town. There is 2 budget places. One is Le Batelage. Old type colonial hotel. Run down. Security dingy. And Hotel Zoom owned by a Karane. Decent enough ventilated rooms. Good security. Good flyscreens. Both go for 30 k ar a night. For a month you can knock them down to 20 k AR.

There is another brand new hotel in town which is absolute luxury option. Take room 201 in Hotel Menabe. Its a 150 k room for the price of 60 k.

Food options. Forget all the restos in the tourist area. Too expensive. Stick to the gargottes. dirt cheap.
I love the breakfast and good Wifi at Bougainvilliers. Good for main meal.
Same as Bleu Soleil.
Another good option is Le gourmandise. food takes long time to prepare.
There's another place in town. good pizza for 14k at fab resto near baobab bank.

If you consider it as a retirement place. Go there and stay for 6 months and find out the vibe. Boredom can pop up easy. And as a resident, the one girl which is with you is overly jealous! No way to fuck around. Malgache are fierce in defending their corral.

I am not surprised. It is a big establishment and cost a fair few ariary to just sit there empty. As with many third world countries it is most likely just a matter of some palm greasing and a customary wait for face saving and back in business. Seen it happen dozens of times in places like Cambodia and Vietnam. Glad to hear it. Great place to go after a meal at La Terrasse or Lafiche.

[QUOTE=Neddy69;2389427]Mate. What you want to do in Mada with that kind of money. Its way too much. LOL. Here it's the minimum pensioners paradise. I know of people who get by on 200 dollars a month. 400 dollars you have a decent lifestyle. 600 dollars you can splurge. With a 1000 dollars you are Demi God. I'd say with a 1000 dollars you do ok anywhere in Mada. With 2000 dollars?? What would somebody do with so much money in Mada. Money is not the problem. You have to let Mada grow on you. The big challenge is WHERE to retire. You should have a squeaky clean bill of health as there is places where there is no doctor. Especially the traffic infrastructure is BAD. The next problem is housing. You can have an own reed hut erected for 70 dollars. A 1000 dollars builds you a big wooden bungalow. 10.000 dollars you get a huge piece of land and a big brick house on it. Except Nosy Be. There you have crazy real estate prices. Then start to learn french. Go and visit it frequently. And fall in love.

But Mada keeps you young. Here is a french guy. I found out he's 85!! years. Looking at him I'd have figured he's 65... go figure.[/QUOTE]Thanks for your reply. I like your choice of words such as splurge and Demi God that comes with living on a $1000 a month budget. So funny! It just takes time for me to comprehend the fact that there are countries out there that are extremely inexpensive. You know of people who get by on 200 dollars a month? That would be $600 a month in the Philippines as a bare minimum. I often visit the Philippines and I was thinking that the Philippines was affordable and also places in South America such as Columbia and Peru but when I read about prices in Madagascar I just shake my head in disbelief. It seems that Madagascar is 1/3 or 1/4th of what the Philippines would cost including paying for sex. The most popular places for retires are Costa Rica, Panama, Equator and in Asia the Philippines, Thailand and now Vietnam. But Madagascar? It just not on the map for most of us here in the USA. To be fair Africa is not on the map for most Yankees. It's an exciting discovery to learn about these places but the problem is I don't speak French only English and Hungarian. You insist that I would have to learn either French or the local language, right? English is just not enough there?

I am trying to decide whether to make my first trip to Mada next year. I have mongered extensively but mostly in Asia, Latin America and Europe. Looking to try something new. I would have only around 1 week available so was thinking perhaps to spend around 5 or 6 days in Nosy Be and a night on each end for connecting flights in Tana. I know the time is short, but it's all I have to work with.

I have seen on a lot of reports people mentioning that Badoo is a good way to get an idea of what's available. I can't though see on that site how to get it to show me only available girls in Nosy Be. Is this possible? Or need to wait until you get on the ground and then let the app have your location? Mostly all the girls show as in the big cities.

Also with one week only. Is it worth going to Nosy Be? Or am I better to spend all this time in Tana? I see many mixed reports. Because my trip is so short I have no budget issues so pricing of girls / accommodations etc in either place is not a factor. Just looking for the cutest girls and the best trip. I should add I speak no French beyond being able to read the odd menu etc, so that will be a factor I know.

If you download a location changer app onto your phone (I have one called Fake GPS) you can set your location as anywhere on the globe. Once it is running, if you open badoo and and tantan you can chat to girls in the fake location. For some reason it doesn't work with tinder (I guess they have better location detector, to persuade you to buy the paid version of tinder to change your location). Also the website [URL]tagged.com[/URL] lets you change location to anywhere you want.

Good luck and happy mongering.

Anyway, I booked a 2 week return flight Tana-Nosy towards the end of my holiday for 215 € with a 3 day cushion in Tana just in case the flight gets cancelled. That means I have about 3 weeks left.

There is a cheap flight for 80 € from Tulear to Tana a couple of days before my flight leaves to Nosy.

I read a strange remark on tripadvisor. Someone claimed the best exchange in Madagascar is at the airport at a company called socimad. That does surprise me. I've never heard of an airport exchange giving a good rate let alone being the best in the country.

I've figured it out. None of the girls looks at you. Hmmm. How to approach them. After nightfall there is girls strolling around a bord de mer. I was sitting with a senior monger and his GF at a boite. There I saw a tall chica moving in the dark. I want her. The malgache GF of my friend ran after her to scramble her for me.

After 30 seconds she sat at our table. She is drop dead gorgeous. Dark features of a cotiere Sakalave girl but slightly slant eyes of an Asian. A perfect tall 9. 8 model from Belo sur Tsibirinha with braids down to the ass. Buy her high heels and a cocktail dress and she can hold her own on any model contest.

She speaks absolutely 0 french only malgache. But I had a translator. The conversation was rather short. How old 19. Fait l amour. Oui. Ok. Lets go. My crib was just across the road. We shagged. But I sweat like a pig. The fan is running at full speed. Its stifling hot. I shag her doggy. And mish. These are the 2 positions she knows. And no BJ. Fady.

Well a village girl. But no regrets. A starfish. Yes. But an absolute stunner. I wanted a second round in the morning. Non. Oh man. But just to look at the body makes all the sweat, diarrhea and taxi brousse rides worth it. I donated 35 k AR for lack of performance and enthusiasm though.

And yes. To all. I stay another week.

Quit a long journey to Tulear, more than 30 hours from Europe. I had a 6 hour layover in Reunion, so I asked a taxi driver to show me around the island as a past time. The Air Madagascar flight had also a layover in Fort Dauphin for about 1 hour.

Finally in Tulear airport, another small Mada one-plane-a-day-airport, a lot of red tape before allowed into the country. Don't forget a pencil.

At the exit almost teared apart by the taxi drivers who literally start fighting over me to bring me to town. Definitely a buyers market.

First impression: very busy town with massive amounts of people on the streets. Tried first to check in at LE Recif Hotel, but fully booked. Than Serena hotel but also full. So I asked the driver to bring me to Amazone Hotel. They still had vacancies. Big and clean rooms but very noisy at night I was about to find out later on.

I started first to check out the beach road in front of the hotel. It was a deception. Very few SW and all ugly dogs. Around Pizza joint very quiet but all new and nice. LE Boeuf also deserted and TamTam club also very few people, even later on and during the whole weekend. Next doors there was a bar called Les Dromedaires. I think recently opened or renovated and very nice to sit at the bar. Only place on the road with some customers. There I met the first nice girls. Two girls from TulAR and one from a Bush town. We had some drinks and they showed me around town. The place to be for nightlife is LE Roby5 disco just around the corner from Amazone Hotel. Very busy in front of the entrance. People queuing to go inside. The entrance is very narrow with a steep staircase. The disco looks small at the outside but it is very deep and has two levels. Packed with people inside and especially very beautiful girls. I am quit picky but a saw many many 8 and 9's. Far better looking girls than I saw any place in Mada! Even better dan Manson in Tana. Very few white guys and most of the gils looking for a vazah as the highest price. I felt all the looks at me while I was passing by. At the dance floor all the girls tried to make eye contact and start dirty dancing with me. No problem at all to select 3 lookers for a threesome later on the night.

All 3 of them were good performers and one of them was into blow jobs but fady for the 2 other girls. They were funny to and into everything to please me. No fuss about condoms and very liking some DATY.

They stayed till noon for 30 k each and some drinks at the disco. No bad deal.

As a food option I strongly advice LE Jardin. Wonderful Italian restaurant with delicious food options and a very friendly owner.

Donkey,

You must have missed the posts about Tsaradia. You can fly from Diego to Nosy Be. Unfortunately they only go twice a week or so it appears. It sounds like money is no object so have a look. Hell you could book a 4 x 4 private for a hundred euro and go overland. Not very nice due to the roads but it would take no longer and probably be less hassle. And don't count out Diego if you are nearby. Most guys that post on here do not like it, but I am an exception. Unless you are very fussy and in a hurry there is no way you will not find pussy in Diego. Unless you are like the expert in his endless quest for free pussy. It is definitely more of a pro town but you will definitely get laid.

$1000 x 12+$2000=$15,000 It's just crazy inexpensive in Africa compare to what you get in the Philippines / Thailand. In my humble opinion $1000 a month in the Philippines is not enough for quality mongering.

As you mentioned before the average price for girls in Sub-Saharan Africa should be in the range of $10-$20 In the Philippines it starts from $40. Thailand is even more.

[QUOTE=AttilaTheHun;2389656]on a $1000 a month budget. It just takes time for me to comprehend the fact that there are countries out there that are extremely inexpensive.

I'm planning to stay a couple of days in Tana to get a feel of the city and then move on. My main issue right now is planning what direction I want to go. It's a big country and unless you have an unlimited budget to take domestic flights as you please, logistically it is a nightmare. Very often the only logical way to continue travelling is doing just the opposite, to go back as there are no alternatives to carry on.

I have 6 weeks in total and I want to combine hobbying with tourist activities. Originally my plan was to go to Nosy Be but I don't fancy going all the way to Nosy and then return to Tana to continue further on. So I think I'll be heading to Tamatave. I love travelling by train. From Moramanga there is a line going to Ambatondrazaka and another one going to Tamatave. I read that since a couple of months the train is out of use for an undetermined period of time. Does anyone have any updated information about that? From Tamatave I want to continue following the coast southward all the way up to Manakara and there take the train to Fianantsaroa. I will be taking a girl with me as I believe the mongering scene between Tamatave and Manakara will be limited.

The tricky part between Tamatave and Manakara is the stretch between Mahanoro and Nosy Varika. If you look on the map you will see there is a road the 'route nationale 11'. The problem is that I haven't been able to find one person who actually has driven it, no car, no 4 x 4, no taxi brousse not even a lorry. It seems that everyone takes cargo 'boats' over the Pangalanes canal and it takes 2-4 days. No bed, no sex maybe not even a seat or a toilet for all I know.[/QUOTE]The only train worth taking is the scenic Fianarantsoa. Manakara. Don't ever go to ambatondrazaka, it is a real shithole.

From Tamatave to Mahanoro, you can travel by taxi-brousse or rent a car. Mahanoro, there is a nice beach and bungalows by the beach: Coco Bungalows.

From there, there is indeed a harbor and boats can take you to Mananjary in 2 to 3 days. Relaxing but rough: Bring your own water on the boat (6-pack of Eau vive), be careful of food and mosquito bites.

Then, from Manajary (a city with no interest) to Manakary (no interest either), you will have a one-day traxi-brousse. Then one-day train to Fianarantsoa (some amazing girls but hard to find).

It's a good idea to bring a girl with you. She will arrange transportation, accommodation, and translation. In Pandora or Taxi Be (if re-opened), look from a girl from Mahanoro or Vatomandry.

Vatomandry has a reputation of malagasy-chinese metis girls. Mahanoro of malagasy-arabic metis girls.

Also the rainy season is coming soon. I would recommend you wait till April to do this trip.

I spend approximately 1200 US per month in Mada. This gives me a decent hotel with wifi and aircon, 2 good meals a day, all my booze which is typically several beer and a glass or 2 of wine and a ST daily. I don't stay in dingy fleabags and I venture forth whenever I like. The reality is somewhere between Golfinho's naysayer attitude and someone like the expert who wants to do exactly the fleabag route. It doesn't have to be feast or famine. As for 200 a month? That is more like surviving, not living.

Here in Morondave you can rent furnished 2 BR Apartments for 150 usd a month. In a month I hv 4 19 year old GFs taking care of me. All the booze I can drink and fresh crabs lobster or whatever I care to fancy. I can eat Cebu steak everyday if I cook myself. All fresh produce is available. Even fresh strawberries ferried in from Antsirabe. I Know expats here they live on 400 usd a month very comfortable.
I stay in cheap lodgings but never seen a flea or rat or caught scabies. There is good cheap lodgings all over Africa for 7 to 15 usd a day. I shop around till I find a place. Obviously I give overpriced tourist haunts a wide birth. The most I ever paid was 3000 ksh a night in Nairobi the least 100 usd thats 3.30 usd a day a month in Mangily. Clean bungalow without running water and off grid.
When I talk about 200 usd a month. The guy I know lives in Mangily. He is not traveling but retired in his 70's. He spent most of his best years in jail for political reasons in the former eastern bloc and receives a minimum pension of 200 usd. Perfectly doable. He rents a small hut for 40 $. The rest is for food and beer. His girlfriend cooks the usual gasy fare Rice. The fisherman sell him the catch of the day. And he owns a Motobike. Considering the minimum wage was raised to 200 k AR by the president he is a rich man getting 800 k a month. While he lives basic consider he's living in paradise looking at the sunset over the Mozambique channel every day. And he's not to worried about things like healthcare. Actually visit to government doctor is free. I did it myself. Only pay a few bucks for medication.

"If all you have is 2000 a month, you find a way to live on it. " Where? The US? It seems your idea of survival and most posters on this forum are completely different. At my budget, which according to you is little more than enough to survive on, I want for very little and have almost no restrictions other than not being able to afford to fly all over the country at whim. For 2 K I would be living the life of Riley. What, exactly, do you need that will cost more than 2 grand a month? In Mada of all places?

SE.[/QUOTE]He did not refer to Mada. This overall cost including your base country plus international flights to Mada and Mada itself as an average.

So you based in Cambodia and left but not permanently to Mada. You have another country you use as a base. Then you travel.

So overall 2 kusd per month as a year average sounds reasonable, For example a certain Asian country plus Mada travel and flights.

We'll never see you in countries like thailand because you can't afford them.

You are correct Neddy. He didn't mention Mada specifically. It was implied. And closer to the truth if you fly a lot and include airfares in your monthly costs. As you mentioned I have abandoned Cambodia and in the last 2 years have probably made 50 flights in and around half a dozen countries. I don't even want to tally up what all that cost!

As for the Golfer, " To have gotten into your financial situation, be thankful for the places where there are people poorer than you who you can exploit. " WOW. That takes some balls on a pay for pussy forum. Let me get this straight. It is not exploitation to fuck girls in poor countries like Thailand because you are paying a lot more? What kind of fucking logic is that?

You seem to take delight in deriding mongers who clearly don't have your resources (money) and also implying that the are destitute trash who wouldn't be welcome even in the lowest standard Thai bar propping up a stool all day. You also have no idea what Neddy does, how he makes his money or how much he has got. He could be a millionaire for all you know.

I don't know why you single out people of little means or just plain cheap charlies (like me!) who want to get laid just as much as wealthy people. Make you feel good from your lofty turret? I will admit some seem to take it to extremes and the poor as dirt life style doesn't suit everyone (again, like me) but who are you to rain on some poor frogs parade if he lives out his life in just such a way?

[QUOTE=SouthEaster;2392169]I will admit some seem to take it to extremes and the poor as dirt life style doesn't suit everyone (again, like me) way?[/QUOTE]Just keeping it real Seaster. Reality is there is nothing to do in these places in Mada: between mealtimes and bedding times there is nothing but nothing to do time. As for girls, women are everywhere: there's not a place they can't be found except in prisons and monastic institutions. The only possible attraction is cost factor for no-money guys: and the poor people they can (wow!) take advantage off. But, since it is a pure symbiosis, no need for your fake moral outrage. I'll be looking forward to my next two-week visit in December; it's a convenient stopover between south America and asia in certain seasons.

My flight budget is actually quite low. I aim to stay in country for 3 months. 3 international flights a year and maybe 2 or 3 regional or domestic flights. I fly from Europe. If you search carefully and I am time millionaire with sufficient funds and I use only return tickets I pay between 500 and 600 euros return. Why am I in Madagascar now. I paid 574.26 euros return with AF from Europe. If the flight would have been over my budget I would be in Kampala or Nairobi or Addis now. I only roam certain african countries. Not South America. Not SE Asia. why should I pay 50 to 100$ for pussy? NFW. I leave that to the loaded Japanese, Chinese and Westerners. I don't like the commercialized Sex Industry. In Africa its non-commercial. No barfine. No guard to be bribed to sneak in overpriced hookers like in Morocco. The girl gets 100%. And on top of that you get some of the finest GF Sex on the planet. The better and longer you stay in country the cheaper it gets. Stay away from the capitals in general smaller towns are cheaper.

Boredom is not a Problem for me. I am perfectly content to do every day the same routine. Shagging 19 year olds. Looking out on the indian ocean. Reading my Kindle. Mingle with locals great fun. Work out. Do yoga. I always prefer local joints wherever I go.
And what is the average pensioner doing at home. Exactly. Everyday the same s...t. Minus shagging of course. So. Master the fine Art of doing nothing. Start by reading Lawrence Durrell, Bitter Lemons. And read about the tree of idleness.

The beach in Morondava is first class. Squeaky clean on the tourist side. They have a female mayor here who really cleaned up town. I have lightning fast 4 G. Exploitation? I get a service and I pay. Direct aid to the girl and the family. The international mining companies they exploit Madagascar. Not me.

If anyone has a problem it would be you with your phony claims of exploitation by people who do not have your means but you are doing the exact same thing on a higher budget.

And yes I spend another week in this boring town. And yes the beach is squeaky clean. And yes I pay 40k for pussy. And yes I love Madagascar. As for all others. Stay in Thailand.

I stayed for the week-end in Tulear and on Monday I toke a taxi to Mangily. Lots of taxis available and I negotiated a brand new car for 40 k. Old cars were cheaper but less comfortable. But first the driver had to fill up the gas tank and all the petrol stations were dry.

We did all the gas stations in town and finally found one still in service. The road to Mangily was remarkable smooth. Brand new I guess and without any pothole. Very much unlike other roads in Mada. I tried first to check in in La Bella Donna. Unfortunately fully booked.

I understand why. La Bella Donna is a jewel. The most beautiful property in Mangily hand down. So I tried next doors in la princesse du lagon but it was also full. So I ended up in the Bamboo Club near the end of the beach.

There still was one hut available right on the beach. Very nice. Just perfect.

I went for the beach and found many nice girl who offered massage. And I felt very soon this was also a buyers market. Many tourist in all the hotels but all the men brought their own sand to the beach. 99 % couples. Just perfect.

All the girls proposed to come to my room for some massage and extras.

During day time very easy to find many girls on the beach. And during the evening and night the place to be is The Blu bar in the center of Mangily.

The walk on the beach and the road to Mangily is very dark but I never felt unsafe. The main road in Mangily is als packed with people during the evening and it is very easy to find girls there also.

The best eatery in Mangily is definitely Chez Freddy on the road from the beach to the center.

All the food is really delicious and I ended up eating there every day and never felt ill.

On my return to Tulear I toke a tuktuk but the police stopped it a few kilometers before we reached our destination. The law was changed and tuk tuks from Mangily were not allowed anymore in Tulear.

So I had to take a taxi brousse to the city center and then a taxi to the airport.

With all that fuss I almost missed my plane back.

Very good report. Mangily is a very nice place to hang around for a few days. Lots of massage girls offering their services. It is also advisable to book hotel or bungalow if you want to stay by the beach as these are easily fully booked. But at night it's really dark to move around unless you carry a torch. Would appreciate a report on Tulear also. Keep it up. Cheers!

Hi guys, I've been going through the thread and it seems the girls here are nice, easy, and cheap. The thing is, I don't speak a word of French and I don't own a cell phone for translation help. My question for the senior guys is that is it worth going down there with such a language barrier? I'm white, in my 30's and muscular. Will these girls see a white face and say to hell with the language barrier as long as I've got the money?

More important you have money at mada not how you look like. So buy cheap phone install translator and go a head for madagascar and enjoy!

Not really difficult for an English speaking monger. But it is advisable to learn few words and expressions such as good morning, good afternoon / evening, thank you, make love, how much, short time, overnight etc. It will hardly take you a day or two to learn these. All the best. Whether you are white or not, it doesn't matter.

At rangelove, very nice report about mangily.

Nice to hear again about Bella Donna, a Jewell, for sure, and sorry if no room, cooking is also exceptional.

And Thanks also for the pics about massage girls, did you say how much you gave for their nice service?

Arrvived in the early morning hours at Ivato. Called hotels New Select, Sole, LE Glacier all fully booked. LE Relais Normand have a new price structure 75 k standard room, 90 k VIP. Only VIP left, needed to get my head down so I took it. The toilet is dirty and unflushed with the waste of the last occupant.

In the morning I change hotels. Sole, a really nice hotel, quote me 120 k for the double. It's 87 k on booking. They will not budge so I booked it through the website.

There is a street full of streetwalkers (actually seated) near to hotel Relais Normand. If you stand with your back to the hotel facing the market you walk towards the right, then you take the first street to the right. Around noon I saw about 20 SW's mostly seated. Most of them are not top material but they are there in case you need a quick take away.

The amount of hassle you get in Tana is in my opinion not too bad, I can handle it. Did have to keep a keep a couple of teen beggars at arms length. They where encircling me like a pack of hyenas. Ready for the kill. I really had to physically push them away from me. I suspect some beggars are actually pickpockets.

Warnings about pickpockets are for real. Beggars you can see coming but the real pros will stalk you and strike in pairs.

[QUOTE=TailPipe;2394486]Arrvived in the early morning hours at Ivato. Called hotels New Select, Sole, LE Glacier all fully booked. LE Relais Normand have a new price structure 75 k standard room, 90 k VIP. Only VIP left, needed to get my head down so I took it. The toilet is dirty and unflushed with the waste of the last occupant.

In the morning I change hotels. Sole, a really nice hotel, quote me 120 k for the double. It's 87 k on booking. They will not budge so I booked it through the website.

There is a street full of streetwalkers (actually seated) near to hotel Relais Normand. If you stand with your back to the hotel facing the market you walk towards the right, then you take the first street to the right. Around noon I saw about 20 SW's mostly seated. Most of them are not top material but they are there in case you need a quick take away.

The amount of hassle you get in Tana is in my opinion not too bad, I can handle it. Did have to keep a keep a couple of teen beggars at arms length. They where encircling me like a pack of hyenas. Ready for the kill. I really had to physically push them away from me. I suspect some beggars are actually pickpockets.[/QUOTE]It seems to get worse by the day with the hotels in Tana. F. g Golddiggers. They're all in f. G Booking now and watch each others like hyenas. If one raises the price all other's follow suit. This f. G Internet. Get the hell out of Tana. The beggars. Very easy to deal with. Don't carry a backpack. Fanny bag. Camera. Act like a local vazaha. Walk on. Don't carry anything. Wear shades. Just nod curtly and move on. Don't talk to them. Once the vultures know you they leave you alone. They smell fresh meat.... LOL. And I know that road near Relais. Expired hookers there. Not top material LOL. Are you british... The understatement of the year....Not even for a quick takeaway.... Dont walk there after nightfall. f...g dangerous...

Who somehow doesn't manage to get out of Morondava. Well... I am practically belaguered in my room.. Ya that's how bad its here... give it a wide berth. hahahaha....

Have you ever had the feeling you had a date with destiny? That's how I feel about that place. I had the ticket for cotisse in my pocket for this morning but fate intervened. I went out to Insomnia around 10 after I had a beer in my favourite pirate boite. LE Daminazy. Insomnia was rather empty. Except in the rear a bunch of girls were hanging out. One caught my eye right away. An exotic beauty only Mada can produce. After smiling she came straight over. Skin like milk coffee. Turned out she's a metisse. Father Sakalave. Mother fair skinned east coast beauty. Slighty slanted eyes to drown in. Short skimpy pink miniskirt. White top. No bra. Her nipples were standing out like cannonballs. She gave me a lapdance while I was sitting gazing at the croix du sud above. I took her home. She undressed. Perfect breasts with 1 inch long nipples longing to be sucked. O man. She had the sexual energy of a medium sized atomic bomb. I sucked her pussy for like ages. She was writhing and moaning. Absolute porn star like. I stuck two fingers up her tight pussy while sucking on her clit. That send her over the edge squirting in my hand. After I shagged the living daylights in doggy I collapsed after dumping my load. The whole thing was repeated twice. And I'll keep her as she's actually living in Tana on holiday. In the morning she was surprised as I dropped 60 k AR in her handbag.

La Buse.

Who thinks to settle here and live out my day as a pirate captain.

[QUOTE=Neddy69;2393013]We are having an ethical discussion. Which basically leads to nowhere as there is some entrenched opinion here.

And actually I am spending here the least money on pussy. Hey. Food is more expensive.

I do the same like you if the girl was great performer I can give 10 or 20 k more for all night its not breaks my bank. If somebody pays girl 10 k ariary its just take fully advantages of their poor life, or they probably think they are God's gift for women. of course have many old dogs around for 10 k but i probably not touch them even they pay me .

I seriously doubt Morondava has much in the way of jet skis and para sailing, at least I hope not. Both good signs of a location being fucked already. Nothing says beach paradise like the roar of jet skis! I think you are more of a Nosy Be type. Much more activity compared to an isolated sleepy town like Morondava.

The question had to be asked because I know if I went to the "beach" in say Sierra Leone It's going to be "unspoiled" But It ain't going to even be clean but that's why I wouldn't ask about Sierra Leone. I find Jamaica to be boring at times.

I got to ask I don't know if you heard that story about a frenchman that went to Africa and alledgely inpregnated 600 women in 3 months. I would assume that wouldn't be true, No judgement from me but do you think that's even remotely possible? If that's true why the fuck does anyone go anywhere else to monger?

Even though I grew up in a diverse neighborhood, went to school with Africans and took college classes in African studies before I discovered this board I never considered going to Africa. I don't know if you know it but when people do trip reports especially savvy seniors such as yourself It looks like any and every girl in Africa is available.

I asked questions then I booked a two week trip to Kenya, I decided to go the Non Pro route, It worked and it didn't. I'd have comms and logistics problems with non Pros they were clingy as fuck too. It was a breath of fresh air for me because I can't fuck the same girl with a condom after awhile. I'd want to fuck but my dick doesn't get hard I can't fuck the same girl without a condom without fantisizing about another girl. So to get overnights being catered to was great (except for the clinginess) I went back again and to avoid sticky girls I focused on hardcores again it worked fine because even hardcores cater to you in Africa.

The problem is I CAN"T REALLY TALK TO THEM even in my two to three week trips I would get bored. And that was in Nairobi frankly a newbie to Africa needs a translator / guide and that's going to be the clinginess girl. If I went to a small town in Mada knowing no french I'll be dependent on some girl. If I was in some sleepy village town I don't see how I could avoid drama between girls especially If I couldn't say "I'm going to do parasailing" etc.

I promise you there's dudes reading this can you give me a "day in the life" breakdown on vacay in Mada or is it literally fucking all the time? Is it like sosua in the DR where all the women you meet are pros and thus understanding when you try to fuck her sister?

Flew in from crowded Tana to Tulear. Totally different. Now I understand what NMexpert means with the 'Wild West'. It's difficult to describe the atmosphere here but generally laidback and it seems like anything goes. I walked yesterday night the sea side boulevard and the triangle around the Amazone hotel. You see hardly any vahaza walking but I didn't feel unsafe. Many people around and street walkers everywhere in that area. Took one for 20 K ST + taxi money. Tuk tuk are 1000 k day and night. Also visited the famous discoteque Robyv. A lot off ass twerking going on lol.

Wouldn't mind meeting someone with more experience here to get some sound advice. For intance the 'carnets' of the ladies. They aren't worth the paper they are written on.

Hotels: LE recife fully booked, went to LE recife annex 2 km's down the road. It's a dump, rooms 30 000 k non-ventilated, 35000 ventilated. 40000 k air conditioning. Can be booked as ST hotel 20000 for 2 hrs.

Switched today to Saifee Hotel 75000 for the double, flat screen, satellite channels, nice balcony, clean, shower could be a tad better but still acceptable, shampoo in the dispenser and a dressing gown. Very similar quality to the Serena Hotel. They are also very close to each other. The Serena was 10000 k more but had a fridge the Saifee did not but had a balcony.

Nothing seems to beat cold hard experience in the west she's either a working girl or a girlfriend. It's not like that in Africa. I might spend a few months in Mada.

Hi guys,

I never was in Africa before and hadn't planned to go, but somehow I found this thread and from time to time read it for about a year. That was entertaining to read, thanks. And now I am in Mada, you kinda lured me in here with your reports.

But reality so far is not so bright as I hoped.

Well, as the winter was coming to my country I as usual fled away from it. This time to Madagascar. On the Internet it is said that I can get 2 month visa on arrival + 1 month extention with my shitty passport of central Asian country. But mf in Ivato airport had his own opinion on that and only gave me 1 month stamp. So later I got additional 2 month extention in Tamatave immigration office. (followed the instruction from here, by Neddy I think, thanks. I paid 100 k in office and 30 minutes later took it back).

First I went for standart tourist route with baobabs and lemurs. 12 day later was dropped off in Tamatave, at Miray hotel, where I am currently in (100 k / day).

2 weeks of abstinence and as soon it got dark I went out, Monday. Ate dinner at empty la terrasse, then moved to "beach road". Well, you have to bring flashlight with you to see anything. Its dark there, and I just saw uncertain shadows with rare "bonjours". OK, never liked to pick girls from streets anyway. Sat in nearby bar for a drink. Two big beers later I am in a good condition and its only 8 pm. Went to queens, few ugly girls there. At least there was light and I could see them. Manager speaks a little Russian, which surprised me. I have 0 French, BTW. Spent 2 hours there drinking beer and waiting taxi be to open. Taxi be was also empty with 4-5 girl, and after 11 it got busier. I was pretty drunk already, picked a girl and we moved to my room. After 1st lazy fuck she quickly decided to leave, gave her 30 k, later in the morning found out that she stole money from my wallet, 40 k or so. Not a good start.

Tried Badoo, wrote to about 20 girls aged 18-23 (I am 28) that I want meet them for money, got 3 replies, only one actully made it to my room. Dissapoining %. But the girl was great, repeated her 3 days later.

Also tried facebook for the first time in my life. Didn't get it how to search for girls properly, set age range and location? (some have only profile foto and no information at all). Gave up after 10 minutes.

Met a great 19 yo girl in taxibe few days later. Fantastic body, good attitude, speaks little English. Next morning she for some reason took me to see her house, if you can call it a house. Small hut with a fan, sofa, bed and TV among dozens of other huts (50 k / month to rent as she said). Half the "village" came to see me and drink beer, which she bought (I think she spent all money I gave her on beer. I myself drank 5 bottles, and there were at least 6 other people coming and going). Then we went to say Hello, to her sister and drink some more beer. That was a real shithole and my girl's room is a presidential suite in comparison. But interesting experience overall.

Few next days I spend with her. We went to fulpoint (not worth the trip), clubs, swimming pool, beach. Gave her around 50 k each day. Funny moment. On the 2nd day I started to fuck her bareback, but pulled out and didn't cum inside. Next day she shows me contraseptive pills she bought so I could not worry about kids. Thank you baby.

Weird shit that happened. In taxi be see 1 girl that I like and we started drink together with her friend. Then after some time I translate her on the phone that its time to go and I'll give you 50 k for the night, she says ok and when we're leaving her friend comes with us. Well, she is okay, theesome maybe. 3 of us together came to my room and then they start to discuss something about my regular girl and me in malagasy (I only understood names, fulpoint etc). The mood has changed. 20 minutes passed. "I need to separate them" I thought. But second girl doesn't want to leave, although I gave her money for taxi. First girl started act strange. Said she needs to go at 7 (and now is almost 4 am), which meant 1 fuck, then I must do it quckly and not to hard. Well, I got pissed, try to get them out. But now both of them didn't want to leave. I call the receptionist, he comes and after talking to girls says "you have to give them money if you want them to leave. " WTF?-I already gave them money for taxi. -Not enough. He says "I cannot force them to leave for some reason and don't want to call the police, just give them 30 k and everyone is happy". Wtf, I rent the room, not them. Great support, bro. Eventually I gave them money. What you would do in same situation?

Weird shit #2. Morning I want to have a hair cut. Catch puss-puss and explain him what I need, he says okok. I tell 1 k to get me there, he nods head. We go to one shop. Closed, then to the second shitty hut 3 x2 meters 4 guys in there. Well, at least they have scissors. My puss driver says he will wait me. I show him 2 finger and say 2 k, he nods. After hair is done we are going back and driver says "How much you pay", "the fuck you mean, 2 k we talked about it already", "No, 5 k". I get off the bike give him 2 k and try to leave, he follows and mumble something about fighting me if I don't give him 5 k (the guy is half my size, BTW), starts to scream. Again would you do? I gave money to that poor little fuck.

Have one more week here in Tamatave. Getting bored. Went to Pandora for the first time yesterday 11 pm-1 am, very few lone girls, several couples and big malagasy groups of 6-7 people on 1 table. Maybe on weekend it is better. Regular girl annoys "marry me and go back europe together" Aha, in your dreams baby.

What a blanket I wrote. Here until Jan. 11, want to go to Tana and Nosy be next. Hope it will be better. Is the raining season really heavy in Nosy be?

[QUOTE=Neddy69;2395216] If you want to overspend voluntarily. That's your problem.[/QUOTE]His problem is that your budget is 1 k per month and not if it's enough to live under it. You already super generous for girls.

So why he his so obsessed with your budget if you are a generous person? Maybe because the part of your technical contribution is covered with a lot of bulshit, I mean Tons of it. Not only that but you also think you know better then others and advise them to RTFF which add another layer of bulshit.

That's what trigger his constant attacks on your lower income. So basically he want to say with 1 kUSD per month you're not a very successful person so please cut this shit.

Few next days I spend with her. We went to fulpoint (not worth the trip), clubs, swimming pool, beach. Gave her around 50 k each day. Funny moment. On the 2nd day I started to fuck her bareback, but pulled out and didn't cum inside. Next day she shows me contraseptive pills she bought so I could not worry about kids. Thank you baby.

Weird shit that happened. In taxi be see 1 girl that I like and we started drink together with her friend. Then after some time I translate her on the phone that its time to go and I'll give you 50 k for the night, she says ok and when we're leaving her friend comes with us. Well, she is okay, theesome maybe. 3 of us together came to my room and then they start to discuss something about my regular girl and me in malagasy (I only understood names, fulpoint etc). The mood has changed. 20 minutes passed. "I need to separate them" I thought. But second girl doesn't want to leave, although I gave her money for taxi. First girl started act strange. Said she needs to go at 7 (and now is almost 4 am), which meant 1 fuck, then I must do it quckly and not to hard. Well, I got pissed, try to get them out. But now both of them didn't want to leave. I call the receptionist, he comes and after talking to girls says "you have to give them money if you want them to leave. " WTF?-I already gave them money for taxi. -Not enough. He says "I cannot force them to leave for some reason and don't want to call the police, just give them 30 k and everyone is happy". Wtf, I rent the room, not them. Great support, bro. Eventually I gave them money. What you would do in same situation?

Weird shit #2. Morning I want to have a hair cut. Catch puss-puss and explain him what I need, he says okok. I tell 1 k to get me there, he nods head. We go to one shop. Closed, then to the second shitty hut 3 x2 meters 4 guys in there. Well, at least they have scissors. My puss driver says he will wait me. I show him 2 finger and say 2 k, he nods. After hair is done we are going back and driver says "How much you pay", "the fuck you mean, 2 k we talked about it already", "No, 5 k". I get off the bike give him 2 k and try to leave, he follows and mumble something about fighting me if I don't give him 5 k (the guy is half my size, BTW), starts to scream. Again would you do? I gave money to that poor little fuck.

Have one more week here in Tamatave. Getting bored. Went to Pandora for the first time yesterday 11 pm-1 am, very few lone girls, several couples and big malagasy groups of 6-7 people on 1 table. Maybe on weekend it is better. Regular girl annoys "marry me and go back europe together" Aha, in your dreams baby.

What a blanket I wrote. Here until Jan. 11, want to go to Tana and Nosy be next. Hope it will be better. Is the raining season really heavy in Nosy be?[/QUOTE]I'm sorry your trip sucked and that's why I ask the questions that I ask. Most experienced mongers will tell you to kick the girl out in the morning.

That's why I don't want to go somewhere so poor and so dependent on tourist dollars that you have to pay to avoid jail. Uber or some kind of ride app stops the taxi hustle. I would've paid the girls off too. Africa is not Asia not saying that 3 somes isn't possible but she'd have to be a severe hardcore to accept it immediately.

If the place has touristy shit that would be diversion but I was in your shoes at one point pissed off that I had to pay for quality or accept quantity. I suggest that on your next trip that you go to a more developed place.

Trip.

[QUOTE=NmExpert;2395226]His problem is that your budget is 1 k per month and not if it's enough to live under it. You already super generous for girls.

So why he his so obsessed with your budget if you are a generous person? Maybe because the part of your technical contribution is covered with a lot of bulshit, I mean Tons of it. Not only that but you also think you know better then others and advise them to RTFF which add another layer of bulshit.

That's what trigger his constant attacks on your lower income. So basically he want to say with 1 kUSD per month you're not a very successful person so please cut this shit.[/QUOTE]Did I mention my income? None of anybody's business. I talked about MY budget. I know that millions 50+ men languish in shitty expensive Western countries living out their last year's lives in shitty council housing, while they could live in Paradise on their meagre state pensions. But 99% will not actually move to these countries because it means getting out of the comfort zone. Learning languages. Getting to know the culture. Live without power and running water. Deal with corrupt cops and bad ass chicas on the take.

And my writing style is how it is. I don't force anybody to read my posts. If you consider my style BS nobody forces you to read it. Why I write RTFF. Because people think here info is handed on a silver platter. Maybe I write an African mongers guide one day. And its gonna be f...g expensive. LOL. And all my statements are FACT. Show me where I invented anything. I posted EXACTLY how to extend the Visa for Madagascar. You just posted a picture of a sign post in Nosy Be which half the information missing. Youve been ripped off in Kenya. I've been ripped off in Kenya. You're just in search of your own vanity. And I'll continue to give advice which is obviously from MY perspective. I write what I pay. Where did I mention that I know better than others? Everybody has its unique experience. Some think like the previous poster. All it takes to book a flight to Mada and play a little sex tourist. Well these people are in for a rude awakening.

[QUOTE=DimKO;2395208]Hi guys,

I never was in Africa before and hadn't planned to go, but somehow I found this thread and from time to time read it for about a year. That was entertaining to read, thanks. And now I am in Mada, you kinda lured me in here with your reports.

But reality so far is not so bright as I hoped.

Well, as the winter was coming to my country I as usual fled away from it. This time to Madagascar. On the Internet it is said that I can get 2 month visa on arrival + 1 month extention with my shitty passport of central Asian country. But mf in Ivato airport had his own opinion on that and only gave me 1 month stamp. So later I got additional 2 month extention in Tamatave immigration office. (followed the instruction from here, by Neddy I think, thanks. I paid 100 k in office and 30 minutes later took it back).

First I went for standart tourist route with baobabs and lemurs. 12 day later was dropped off in Tamatave, at Miray hotel, where I am currently in (100 k / day).

2 weeks of abstinence and as soon it got dark I went out, Monday. Ate dinner at empty la terrasse, then moved to "beach road". Well, you have to bring flashlight with you to see anything. Its dark there, and I just saw uncertain shadows with rare "bonjours". OK, never liked to pick girls from streets anyway. Sat in nearby bar for a drink. Two big beers later I am in a good condition and its only 8 pm. Went to queens, few ugly girls there. At least there was light and I could see them. Manager speaks a little Russian, which surprised me. I have 0 French, BTW. Spent 2 hours there drinking beer and waiting taxi be to open. Taxi be was also empty with 4-5 girl, and after 11 it got busier. I was pretty drunk already, picked a girl and we moved to my room. After 1st lazy fuck she quickly decided to leave, gave her 30 k, later in the morning found out that she stole money from my wallet, 40 k or so. Not a good start.

Tried Badoo, wrote to about 20 girls aged 18-23 (I am 28) that I want meet them for money, got 3 replies, only one actully made it to my room. Dissapoining %. But the girl was great, repeated her 3 days later.

Also tried facebook for the first time in my life. Didn't get it how to search for girls properly, set age range and location? (some have only profile foto and no information at all). Gave up after 10 minutes.

Met a great 19 yo girl in taxibe few days later. Fantastic body, good attitude, speaks little English. Next morning she for some reason took me to see her house, if you can call it a house. Small hut with a fan, sofa, bed and TV among dozens of other huts (50 k / month to rent as she said). Half the "village" came to see me and drink beer, which she bought (I think she spent all money I gave her on beer. I myself drank 5 bottles, and there were at least 6 other people coming and going). Then we went to say Hello, to her sister and drink some more beer. That was a real shithole and my girl's room is a presidential suite in comparison. But interesting experience overall.

But as I pointed out previously. Mada is for advanced Africa mongers. You're just facing the steeper learning curve. Better stick to Kenya next time. About the pousse. Some try to overcharge. I don't care. Never argue with anybody for 50 cents give or take. Bad karma. Taxidrivers all over the world are the same. Same with the girls. I can tell you stories from Mtwapa.... Just pay as you did. That's part of your training fees. There's always some assholes. In Africa just see the witch doctor. He'll put a curse on him all right. I did that with a thieving girl once...

January should be ok. There can be some days of heavy rain and if you're very unlucky you'll experience a passing cyclone.

I spent a full month in the Non mongering town of Sambava during September 2019.

Arrived with tsaradia flight from diego on time. From the airport I walked 1 minute to the main road and took a Bazaz for 1 k to Villa Layannah. [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/4Axitb74iPSpLyAG8[/URL].

To be precise I went down on the main road as if Bazaz get down to secondary Road you add 1 k more. You all know Villa sheridan so its the same place as the old Vhaza sold it to local family, Now the place was entirely renovated and painted etc. They have hot water and free WIFI although the router is on the ground floor so single strength is not that good on upper floor that face the sea.

Front room price is 50 k but I paid 45 k. Since sambava is not yet connected by asphalt road to ambilobe everything is expensive so I bought once few Eau vive and fill it from the owner kitchen Tap. This is a separate pipe line then you have in your room and used for drinking.

Sambava does not have any serious supermarket and nearly no value restaurants outside the hotels. So you can go to Pizzeria Boule the'or [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/NPFhbpfn4pFNUWfw6[/URL] or hotel Carrefour [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/nSoEfrofzXi7QNfC8[/URL] or a few Bakery / restaurants around here [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/z3J8cu7UcEf9GKzu7[/URL].

There is a new Gym for 150 k per month next to Pizzeria Boule the'or in the way to the beach with several girls shaping their butt.

Sunday evening is when the beach get full of people and you can easy pick what you want although not many adult girls. Sometimes you can see girls passing in the beach in front of the hotel and they all come to your room. I got one girl as she drive in a Bazaz in the opposite direction as I walked. She went down and introduce herself the rest is history. The best way to keep in touch is to get his facebook ID as phone numbers come and go and FB has a unique identifier as physical phone tend to get lost often there.

Beside a week with that girl I spent 3 weeks with my Local GF which was the reason I got there at the first place. One thing I don't understand is why I didn't get bored for full month there. Maybe because I saw sitting directly on a stunning beach or because My girl was always in my bed.

There 3 discos but the leader is Baladin [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/iTwfHvBRTmqBfKJA9[/URL] you can follow the upcoming event on the street sign.

They always try LT say very very long time as they try to stay with you during your whole journey.

In most places of the world you have many runners, but in Mada the most difficult thing is to get them leave the room next day.

All the girls always stayed with me till I left the room myself for breakfast or lunch.

But, but, its not for everyone because it's not easy like Pattaya. Fortunately you know how do it and you have information, enough information to make a guide, that you can sell! Oy vey.

I'm interested in going to Madagascar early to mid 2020. I am fascinated by the world of free & easy GFE, and cheap beach housing, and interesting things to photograph.

What I'd like to address is the contradiction of this place. It seems easy: The girls will say Bonjour if they fancy you, you look at them and if they fancy you back you say likewise. And then you lead them to your room and slip them somewhere between 30-50 k MGA. Which is, in United States Dollars, approximately nothing. That sounds almost as straightforward and easy as, say, Angeles in the Philippines except with less of a blatant pay-for-sex atmosphere. Yes, you have to pay but it's softer in feel.

Now, I am a soft western guy who likes his creature comforts. But if I am understanding correctly, there is one place where they exist: Nosy Be. If I go to Nosy Be, I might not get as perfect a GFE as some of the other places, but I would have reasonably civilized infrastructure, nice albeit expensive hotels, more or less functioning WiFi, etc. (I am in Mexico right now and I survived two days of non-functioning WiFi, although I would have rather not.).

So I go to Nosy Be, I find a cheap hotel right on the beach, and I enjoy my daily swim. I have our friend Google for translation services. As long as I have WiFi and the swim I am content. If I have girls that's the cherry on top. And it seems like girls should be plentiful and willing.

I do not have a lot of money. My budget would be gone in seconds in the French Riviera. But I have maybe 2-3 times what others are reporting spending. If I lose 30-40 k MGA a few times to scams it's not going to hurt me.

So: What do you guys think of my "soft western approach to Madagascar"? On paper it doesn't sound that much different from Angeles, but many posts in this forum say it's considerably more difficult than Angeles. I have read a lot about the difficulty of transportation and the often high cost of getting around, but it seems to me that if I fly in to Nosy Be and spend my trip in that area it would not be so bad.

So here I am, knock some holes in my plan and let me know the strong and weak points. If I go I will leave a detailed, verbose account with really, really nice quality photographs.

Not contradictions, it's just how the place is. Nosy Be is generally the place that most people think has the best infrastructure and is newbie friendly. I would tend to agree although I don't fancy the place much myself. By 2-3 times what most people are spending are you talking $1000 a month like Neddy? If you are you will live like a king. Your attitude about small losses is the right one, especially on your first trip. If you piss away 50 bucks in small rip offs or a girl that doesn't turn out well it is small potatoes for some lessons well learned.

This all said even nosy be has issues like the rest of Mada, just not as many and not as bad! I am currently in Mexico as well and if you think Mexican infrastructure is not up to snuff, well you ain't seen nothing yet. Think the PI 30 years ago.

You will probably encounter a couple of naysayers here. My advice is ignore them and give it a try. What is the worst that can happen? Ripped off more than expected, more of a shithole than you expected, girls unfriendly or duds (should not be an issue LOL). OK, you tried and it's not for you.

Just make sure you pay the girls 10 times the going rate. You wouldn't want to "exploit" them!

The only thing I noticed bad about infrastructure is that sidewalks are an obstacle course and cobblestone streets hurt my feet. Lovely place but girls conspicuous by their absence. I enjoy having top-end dining for around $25 a plate instead of $100 in Miami. I don't notice much commentary on food in Madagascar but it sounds like there is at least some French food in Nosy Be, which would be interesting even if not entirely authentic.[QUOTE]You will probably encounter a couple of naysayers here.

[QUOTE]Just make sure you pay the girls 10 times the going rate. You wouldn't want to "exploit" them![/QUOTE]But then I would be ruining the ecosystem for everyone else! So no I would pay the going rate. It does not sound to me that the girls feel like they are being exploited. And to me they are the proper judges. I am of the age where discomfort is not for me. I might even blow the $8 k for business class. Yikes! Is it worth it? But if that means I could hit the ground running it might be worth it.

What do you dislike about Nosy Be? Is there a place you would recommend more for the traveler who starts there and wants at least some amenities? Most important for me is decent Internet and good restaurants. It's great in Mexico. When it works. LOL.

I need some western food and definitely western style hygiene standards. I haven't been to Mada yet so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt but Africa is not what it seems I have gotten 5 dollar short time in Nairobi. If you're in Africa and willing to go for ST you can pay 5 dollars or less once you've been there for a while (meaning six months or so) the problem isn't the price that you pay it's the long term costs.

You say you're a soft western guy I'm a soft western guy go to a country where almost no one speaks English a meet a chick who sucks and fucks the soul out of you who speaks English. You're going to feel sorry for her.

Better to get your sea legs with Nairobi slay queens until you develop the hardness for Africa. The only reason I'm going to Mada is to deletion the hardness. Besides as a westerner you'the want a girl with some western education. I'm going to Dar es Salaam where I'm going to try to meet a college graduate that I met in a Dar MP. Because she has a job now (not at the MP) she's not asking for money (the western union hustle) I'm going to ask her respectfully if I could fuck her sister who's also a college graduate.

Mada is not the place for a first trip to Africa in my opinion.

Trip.

Had a look at Hotel LE Recife today. They only have 11 rooms and until now they where fully booked. At 45 000 it's a good deal but in comparison to Hotel Saïfee (75 000) the rooms are smaller and scruffy. Considering Tulear (Toliara) doesn't have a decent beach the swimming pool is a big bonus but I'm going to stay in Saïfee. If necessary I'll compromise in areas like Nosy Be where accomodation is more expensive.

I do not have a lot of money. My budget would be gone in seconds in the French Riviera. But I have maybe 2-3 times what others are reporting spending. If I lose 30-40 k MGA a few times to scams it's not going to hurt me.

So: What do you guys think of my "soft western approach to Madagascar"? On paper it doesn't sound that much different from Angeles, but many posts in this forum say it's considerably more difficult than Angeles. I have read a lot about the difficulty of transportation and the often high cost of getting around, but it seems to me that if I fly in to Nosy Be and spend my trip in that area it would not be so bad.

So here I am, knock some holes in my plan and let me know the strong and weak points. If I go I will leave a detailed, verbose account with really, really nice quality photographs.[/QUOTE]This was an interesting post. I'm in a similar situation (as it seems is Triple Darkness): I'm a regular single western guy, not rich not poor. I enjoy visiting and exploring new places and girls, but I wouldn't really say I'm a hardcore adventurer like Neddy who likes going way off the beaten path and living like locals in remote areas. I want a certain level of comfort on holiday.

I've visited Africa several times: Accra and Mombasa. Mombasa is better in terms of infrastructure and prices, and I would agree is a good choice if you're a total Africa newbie. However, I've found that most girls there don't really do it for me. They lack the thick thigh-bangin-booty MTV body shape of west Africans, and the delicate prettiness of Ethiopians. Of course some people find the Kenyan look more attractive, but that's just my taste.

Having browsed the forum for a while, what initially attracted me to Madagascar beyond the beautiful beaches and climate was the seemingly relaxed atmosphere of semipros (like you, I find the overly transactional approach to sex in Asia, well Pattaya / Angeles, somewhat of a turnoff) as well as the idea of taking home a teenage girl every night (legal of course), humping like bunnies, falling asleep together, having another round in the morning, then sending her on her way for 10 US Dollars, which is what I normally spend on lunch.

So I set my phone's GPS location to Nosy Be and fired up Badoo, and was impressed with what I found. As others have said, the ethnic mix on Madagascar has created some truly exotic beauties, and the overall standard seemed far higher than Mombasa. The reply rate was extremely high too, always a good sign, and I've set myself up with a handful of lovelies, though whether or not I'll get round to seeing them, who knows. Good to have in reserve.

I decided to bite the bullet and booked myself a flight to Nosy Be next summer, when I'll spend 6 weeks there. I plan to stay at Ambatoloaka as that's where the action is. Advice on the forum is not to book in advance, but I'm going to reserve my first week at Robinson Crusoe (15 Euro per night with WiFi; already been in touch via email, and we know it's girl-friendly), and spend the week figuring out the lay of the land. It may be that Robinson will be fine; it may be too much of a dump and I'll end up at one of the more upmarket places I saw on [URL]booking.com[/URL] for about 40 euro a night (once I've ascertained whether they're girl-friendly, etc). Ultimately you can only RTFF so much, and you have to dive in. I have schoolboy French and Google translate, and it's often better not to be able to understand the inane blather of hot girls inbetween fucks anyway.

As SouthEaster said, what's the worst that can happen? I have a crap month. Oh well.

If you're planning to head over summer 2020 and you can get a senior membership here at ISG, drop me a PM and we can compare notes.

[QUOTE=Golfinho;2395811] The only negative thing is the lack of blackout curtain.[/QUOTE]Few years ago when I traveled to Antalaha I bought blackout curtain I think 2 x2 meter super lightweight with 100 percent block light. I always travel with it.

Its not a fabric seems as a synthetic polymer on one side the grey and not sure about the black side. Anyway super thin no weight. I bought it from a street vendor. Then I use a Double-Sided Adhesive Tape that can carry 5 kg even then its just 400 gram.

But some people have the impression here I sleep in African round huts in small villages all the time. Well you can do that of course. Than your budget will be next to nothing of course. In fact I am planning to do that. But it needs some planning. There you eat what the locals eat. The meal is usually cooked outside over a charcoal cooker. You'll have no running water or electricity. But you might have internet. Sounds crazy? That's the way it is. There your cost of living will be probably 200 usd or less. More like 100 usd. And that includes of course the village girls which knock on your door after nightfall to get some white sperm. A place I selected is the Bijagos. But also here in Western Madagascar or in the North east there is communities only to be accessed by sea.

I want to clarify some other misconceptions. You can shag for 10 usd or less in ALL subsaharan African countries. Nothing special really. If you only come to Mada for a cheap shag you'll never enjoy it. Big booties. Don't come to Mada. Yes occasionally there is. Go to Nigeria or Uganda. And ALL sex in subsaharan africa is transactional as well. These girls sleep with you for money. Even they so called nonpros. Even if some people always claim they never pay for sex. Makes me laugh. They pay for food drinks transport jewelry a phone. Give me a break. As my belgian friend put it. Only sun in Africa is FREE. The difference is that you MIGHT get away paying less with an office worker, waitress or any other girl with a regular job. But these are advanced strategies for seniors like NM Expert...

If the afternoon sun is burning down in your room its getting uncomfortable hot in the overpriced concrete bunkers called luxury hotels. That's why I still love the good old colonial style LE Central. 100 years ago they knew how to keep rooms naturally ventilated without A/C.

If you're planning to head over summer 2020 and you can get a senior membership here at ISG, drop me a PM and we can compare notes.[/QUOTE]Expound on the differences in Infestructure and prices. To me Mombasa is kinda small a lot of people told me that the infestructure is better in Kenya and I've heard stories about prices. West Africans tend to be more muscluar but Luo's and even some Kambas will give West Africans a run for their money in the ass department. I know I'm the only monger to ask but what about the "things to do" situation? If the heat is the same as mombasa I'm going to need reliable Electricity (at least a back up generator) and decent 4 G internet speeds for me to be comfortable. Keep in mind that If I go to Ghana it will be for at least 3 months so that's a long time to be uncomfortable.

I kind of got my sea legs in negotiation but like you mentioned I prefer LT and condom optional how was the prices and the ability to get "nonpro" or at least not hardcore. How sticky are nonpros.

Based on the reports on Mada it seems like unless I get with actual fulltime street walkers I could get super GFE. Speaking of Nairobi I can say that chicks are pretty good at long game meaning they'll give you "freebies" and expect to be the main GF (with all the expenses of that).

What were the Accra Non Pros like? It almost seems like non pro doesn't exist in Mombasa.

And most importantly although she wants your money she doesn't desparately need your money.

It's the cheap hardcores that are supporting an extended family on you, try to make a home and drive other girls away. The nonpro with a job or other dudes or lives at home is the ones I want.

In the west usually you get a discount for extended use in Africa it's cheaper to short term it, But newbie Trip did Trip up on Dating apps and "freebies" which turned out more expensive than ST. But my problem is literally wanting to fuck all night and wanting to keep going even if I run out of condoms.

Before anyone says anything I don't understand why I never had an STD either. I try to use condoms but and I don't insist on not using them I just never object if they don't object. And unless she's of supermodel quality and I'm extremely horny I can't accept covered blow jobs, That's literally where I cross the line.

Saying what I said Neddy what do you think?
