Accommodation
Accommodation will be in basic – mid-range hotels. Please note that Madagascar is a country which is in its infancy when it comes to tourism. Accommodation is limited therefore all the above mentioned accommodations are subject to availability and we reserve the right to change these using similar accommodation of the same or higher standards. The hotels used are simple, clean and of a basic – mid-range standard, with bathrooms en-suite.
Spending Money
Clients are advised to bring enough money to cover their lunches and dinners, the purchase of curios and additional entertainment. Madagascar’s currency is the Ariary. Euros are the most practical and convenient currency to exchange into the local currency at the Airport. International credit cards and travellers cheques are very seldom accepted, although VISA cards are accepted at the Vanila hotel.
Visas
A visa is required to enter the territory of Madagascar: Tourists staying in Madagascar for less than 90 days will be able to receive a free visa upon arrival. Please check if your passport is still valid (at least 6 months before expiry date). You can easily obtain a visa at the airport of Antananarivo. Please note that, to get a visa at the airport, you do not need to bring photographs.
Gratuities
If you feel you have been looked after well by your crew or guides, and you wish to show
your appreciation for their services, a monetary tip is very welcomed by those in
Madagascar. Here follows some suggested guidelines:
• Around EUR 4 per person, per day (10,000 Ariary) for a guide or a guide/driver.
• Around EUR 2 (5,000 Ariary) for a park guide, depending on your satisfaction.
• Around 5% of the bill at a restaurant
• 200 Ariary per bag for a porter.
As Euro coins cannot be changed into local money in Madagascar, it is advisable to tip in
Ariary.
We would ask that you please reserve your generosity for tipping for services only, and not
providing free handouts to children or adults, as this encourages begging.
Information on Areas Visited
MADAGASCAR
Its teeming fertile forests and geographical isolation have served to preserve and
propagate 'nature's design laboratory' in a mix found nowhere else on earth.
Madagascar's forests are a shimmering, seething mass of a trillion stems and dripping
leaves.
Nosy Be
15 km away from the northwestern coast of Madagascar lies the 321 km² large island
Nosy Be. Here you can still discover a little paradise, which has been spared of masstourism.
Climb on Mount Lokone (450m) or Mount Passot (350m) and you will be able to
see Nosy Be in all its beauty: its jagged coasts, the numerous bays and lovely coves, the
deserted beaches and the crystal clear water.
Furthermore you should experience the amazing underwater world of Nosy Be which
offers excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities or do a day trip to the nearby islands,
for example Nosy Komba where you can watch the 5,000 black lemurs that roam this
island and eat delicious fruits from wild growing lemon, orange, bananas, papayas and
mango trees.
