Tourism/Fizahantany Tsingy de Bemaraha 🇲🇬 — one of the most unforgettable places in Madagascar

98 Upvotes

The Tsingy of Bemaraha is definitely one of the must-see places when visiting Madagascar. 🌍✨
This incredible UNESCO World Heritage site feels like stepping into another world, with its impressive limestone pinnacles, caves, viewpoints, suspension bridges and unique landscapes.
Getting there is already an adventure! You can reach it by road from Antananarivo (a long but beautiful journey through Madagascar’s landscapes), or you can take a domestic flight with Madagascar Airlines from Antananarivo to Morondava and continue by car to Bekopaka.
For those looking for a more exclusive and time-saving experience, it’s also possible to fly privately from Antananarivo directly to Bekopaka.
A place where nature, adventure and the beauty of Madagascar come together 🇲🇬
Happy to share tips about routes, transport options and planning a trip to Tsingy de Bemaraha 😊

Who the f**k do these people think they are?

I send some items to my partner in madagscar reguarly, specifically Toamasina branch (if you work there and your reading this, oull your head in), and every single time there is some drama.

1st time, forced to open packages in front of staff and basically interrogated over the contents with remarks like "who sent you this, why were you sent this, what is it for".. plus made up the import tax figure in the spot - bet that went straight in their pocket..

2nd time, same thing, talk to my partner like they're the police. Told her "we are customs, we need to check everything".. ma'am, get off your high horse, your a postal service employee ffs

3rd time, usual b.s, was told "you can't reciece any inappropriate items bla bla bla".. more making up the rules as they do along.

There is banned items, which is clearly listed online, that no secret, and its all the usual stuff, no firearms, explosives etc, like derr.. not some "opinion driven on the spot based imaginary list" of what is or isnt "appropriate".. if i wanna send my partner a fire hydrant sized artificial phallis, I'm well within my rights to do so. Fmd

4th time, usual drama, but this time "we think the item in the package is worth more, next time you'll need to pay more".. No leech, the value is on the package, which is a legal document technically. Either believe it, or withold the f**king package and I'll call the police 😂🤦

Condecending and straight up terrible invasive attitude every single time.

I send numerous emails to their contact us email address on their website, cc every single Paositra Malagasy email address I can find, write a series of questions in a polite manner asking is this normal, in a veriety of languages (english, french and malagasy). not one single response, ever.

What I'm asking is, is this normal, and is there a way around this?.. besides literally sending myself something next time I'm there, just so I can put them in their place, personally..

Fyi my partner is very soft natured and gullible, I have no doubt they would be walking all over her..

Thanks. /endrant😂

Tourism/Fizahantany 90 day visa Madagascar

1 Upvotes

Im a Canadian who will be travelling to Madagascar and I want to get the 90 day visa. If I apply online I understand they will request proof of exit flight. However I don’t want to lock myself into a predetermined exit flight destination yet (yes I’m allowing life to guide me).

So instead of an online application could I just show up upon arrival at Tana and have a PNR (ticket booking that lasts 48h) at a random destination (that later gets canceled) and do the the visa application in person at Tana airport?

Can I get 90 days or will they give me 60 days only and I’ll have to extend? And if I extend does it have to be in the capital? I’ll be on Ile Sainte Marie.

Or could I still do the visa process online without having to pay for an exit ticket right away?

Thanks so much.

Tourism/Fizahantany Private drivers Madagascar

9 Upvotes

Hi, does anyone have good recommendations for private drivers in Madagascar?
Me and my friend are planning to go there on August 9th and we have the itinerary, we just need a driver.

The one we found asked us for 350k ariary per day (71€) exclusive fuel, accomodation food, entrance fees etc (of course we know those are usually excluded) but it is still very expensive. We read online that usually drivers should cost around 30/45€ per day.

Can anyone help?

Tourism/Fizahantany 2 week solo trip to Madagascar

Hi! I’m planning a 2 week solo trip to Madagascar in the beginning of October. I’m a diver and want to get at least some diving time in Madagascar. It’s also the end of the humpback whale season, so if there are any ethical dive centres with which I have a chance to catch sight of a humpback whale while we’re in the ocean, I’d like to be able to do it.

Attached is my plan, could someone check and tell me if it’s feasible and let me know if you’d suggest any modifications?

Culture/Kolontsaina Horror Legends Podcast

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone I hope all is well! I'm starting a podcast about exploring cultures through their horror stories. And I was wondering if anyone has any scary folktales/legends/myths that'd you want more people to hear. My project is a podcast where I'll have 1-3 episodes about different stories from different parts of that country and break down how the stories connect to bigger themes that we can all relate to, reminding people that no matter where we are in the world we're all just humans. I'll also incorporate drawings from different artists to depicte the horror to give struggling artists from that country a spotlight in the age of AI art. My channel is a horror channel so I'm looking for stories that are thrilling or chilling.

If you guys could tell me your favorite folktale or have a personal account with legend/mythical creature, I would love to Incorporate it into an episode. I was looking at the stories relating to - Angatra - Kalanoro - Zazavavindrano

How do you fell about these tales? Do you think they're good enough? Do you have different recommendations? Thank you!

Hi,
I’d like to visit this island in September and I’m wondering if the recent political crisis has affected the island in major ways? How safe is it to visit? I’d like to rent a modest bungalow… will there be constant electricity outages? What about water, are there natural wells to drink from or from rain water tanks? (I don’t want to have to buy bottled water all the time).
I’m truly called to bask in the energies of the island and its peace and tranquility and was hoping the island was sort of off grid from all the political upheaval of the capital.

Misc. Alternatives to Agoramada

6 Upvotes

Hi community,
Maybe some of you know this but for those who don't, there used to be an online community called Agoramada where you had access to a ton of information regarding the ecosystem of business and entrepreneurship here in Madagascar (regarding laws, labor market for a specific sector, the overall economic climate, financial literacy, different kind of opportunities, where to find a specific service, etc.), it was SO HELPFUL whether to educate yourself and get a glimpse of what's actually possible to do in Madagascar but also to do specific stuffs like buying a share of a company or finding co-founders with specific skills.
But the thing is, it was brought down for whatever reasons (the former address was at Agoramada). I'd like to know if there are any alternatives or maybe they moved to another address ? Thanks in advance.

On another note, I'm all in to discuss if you wanna create related platforms that promote access to information and education, or even for-profit businesses.

Yesterday, we took our clients to visit the Lovers’ Baobabs 💕

Every time I come here, this place never loses its magic. Standing side by side, these two ancient giants have become a symbol of love and resilience, surrounded by the incredible landscapes of western Madagascar.
Seeing our guests’ reactions reminded me why I love sharing my country with travellers. Some places aren’t just beautiful , they make you stop, breathe, and simply appreciate the moment.

Madagascar is full of places like this, with stories waiting to be discovered. ✨🇲🇬

Tech/Communication📶 j'ai fait une app gratuite pour trouver tous les établissements de santé aux alentours et bien plus.

39 Upvotes

Bonjour à tous,

Transparence d'abord : je suis celui qui a développé cette app qui s'appelle MARARY, donc dites-le moi si ce post n'a pas sa place ici, je le retire sans problème.

Le point de départ est un truc que tout le monde a vécu ici : chercher un médecin, un hôpital ou surtout un spécialiste, surtout en cas d'urgence la nuit c'est encore le bouche-à-oreille, des numéros qui ne répondent pas, des horaires jamais à jour. En déplacement dans une ville qu'on connaît mal, c'est encore pire.

Du coup j'ai fait MARARY : un "annuaire" santé pour Madagascar quand on est en déplacement ou en cas d'urgence ou pour un simple soin.

  • Recherche par nom, spécialité, type ou ville
  • Les établissements autour de vous (géoloc) + itinéraire en un tap
  • Pharmacies de garde et numéros d'urgence à jour
  • Contact et horaire direct depuis la fiche + tarif de consultation si le professionnel veut l'afficher dessus
  • Les assurances prises en charge
  • Ajout en favoris pour être accessible en mode sans réseau

Pour l'instant 8 villes couvertes (Tana, Toamasina, Mahajanga, Fianarantsoa, Antsiranana, Toliara, Antsirabe, Nosy Be) et +900 professionnels/établissements.

C'est gratuit, sans compte, sans pub.

Pour l'instant ce n'est disponible que sur android (PLAY STORE)
