Safety & Scams

Exercise high caution; petty crime like pickpocketing is common in major cities; avoid traveling at night between towns; be cautious of political demonstrations; healthcare facilities are basic; stick to bottled water and avoid ice; respect 'fady' (local taboos), which vary by region.

Getting Around

Taxi-brousses (bush taxis) are the primary way to travel between towns but are often overcrowded; internal flights via Tsaradia are faster but expensive; 4x4 vehicles are necessary for off-road remote parks; rickshaws (pousse-pousse) are common in cities.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local 'fady' (taboos)—always ask a guide about local rules; greetings are important and usually involve a handshake; it is polite to bring a small gift when visiting a home; elders are highly respected.

Internet & Connectivity

Connectivity is best in Antananarivo and major tourist hubs like Nosy Be; 4G is available via Telma and Orange; internet becomes very scarce to non-existent in remote national parks; Wi-Fi in hotels is standard but often slow.
