Madagascar Trip Day 2. After arriving at Madagascar Airport in the afternoon, we drove to Andasibe in the east. The journey took about 4 hours and it was all S-shaped mountain roads. My sister vomited twice, probably because she had just finished a long-distance flight 😂. The first trip after arriving was a night walk at Voimma Reserve to see lemurs, frogs, stumbles, chameleons, etc. Chameleons are so cute. To be continued.... Day 3 The highlight is to see many unique lemurs

Located in the southeastern region of Madagascar near the village of Ranomafana. The Ranomafana National Park is one of the nation’s most popular parks. The eastern section of the park is the most scenic, with numerous streams splashing through densely forested hills. The park is home to the endangered golden bamboo lemur, an animal whose diet includes bamboo shoots that contain doses of cyanide that would be lethal to other animals, yet the charming golden lemur feeds on the bamboo with no ill effects. A local guide is required for visitors entering the park. Guides can be arranged at the park office. A typical excursion would include viewing several species of lemur, gecko, chameleons, and bird species. Typically, tourists exploring the Talatakely forest. Talatakely has well-defined paths and stairs, however, sturdy shoes should be worn as the path can be slippery, especially when wet. If there are special interests, such as birding, specialists can be arranged through Centre ValBio for excursions. Guided tours are not available at nighttime. However, walking alongside the road and looking for eye-shine in the adjacent can typically allow tourists the chance to see mouse lemurs. Kayaking or canoeing can be arranged and a hot springs pool is located in Ranomafana. #zoo#nationalpark

Although Antananarivo/Ivato International Airport is not big, I didn’t expect that there would be so many people taking red-eye flights. I was a little scared when I arrived at the airport! Fortunately, the check-in and check-in processes were surprisingly smooth and fast, which saved me a lot of time and gave me time to sit down, rest, and wait for boarding. I arrived at the airport at around 10 pm, when almost all the shops were closed. Fortunately, I had dinner outside first, otherwise I would have had no place to buy anything even if I had money. There are quite a lot of seats, so it's not too difficult to find a place to rest. Someone at the airport was super nice! Because when I first arrived in Madagascar, my luggage was unfortunately lost, he took the initiative to help confirm the status of my luggage and assisted in processing relevant documents. As a result, I met the same ground staff at the airport on the way back. He actually remembered me and chatted with me for a few words. He was really considerate and efficient. Overall, although the airport facilities are not luxurious, the quality of the staff and the efficiency of the process left a good impression, which was a great end to this trip! #AntananarivoAirport #MadagascarAirport #RedeyeFlight #EndofJourney #AirportCharacterExplosion #GroundAngel #LuggageFoundBack #TravelInterlude #AirportDaily #FalklandIslandTravelNotes #MarchGoodPlaces2025

The last thing you want to happen while traveling is getting injured and needing medical treatment. During the trip to Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park, my travel companion accidentally sprained his waist and was in so much pain that he could hardly walk, so he had to go to the regional hospital in Morondava for treatment. This hospital is larger than expected, but the overall environment is quite old and the equipment is quite simple, so diagnosis and treatment mainly rely on the doctor's experience. Although the pain was slightly relieved after diagnosis and treatment and he could walk slowly, resources were limited at the time and further examinations were not possible. After returning to Hong Kong and seeking further medical treatment, he discovered that his injuries were actually serious and required a long period of rest and treatment. It is also a reminder: when doing outdoor activities in remote areas, you must be careful and safe, and it is also recommended to prepare basic medical and insurance information during the trip. Although this episode was difficult, it also made us realize the limitations and preciousness of local medical resources, and made us cherish every safe trip even more.

Located on the first row of the coast, Hotel Arc en Ciel is a hotel with a warm atmosphere and a resort feel. We did not stay here this time, but we stopped by to dine and enjoyed the clean environment and friendly service. The restaurant features a spacious semi-outdoor seating area. The dishes are a fusion of Italian and Malagasy flavors, and the taste is ok. In addition to the usual rice, the restaurant also has pizza, so the choices are quite rich.

French cuisine highly recommended on the Internet! Mad Zebu Restaurant is a French-Malagasy fusion restaurant hidden in the remote town of Belo-sur-Tsiribihina, but it serves food comparable to that of a Michelin-starred restaurant. The interior of the restaurant is warm and comfortable, and there is also a spacious open-air balcony for dining. The menu offers set menus or à la carte options and prices are very reasonable for tourists, averaging around €10 per person, which is great value for money. address: Mad Zebu Restaurant 7GWW+FCP, On the march, Belo-sur-Tsiribihina 609, Madagascar #MarchGoodPlaces2025 #MadZebu #MadagascarFood #HiddenRestaurant #ZebuMelafron #FoodOasis #FrenchFusionCooking #SurpriseOnTheTable #BeloSurTsiribihina #MichelinTravel #RestaurantsWorthyOfStop

Walking across this suspension bridge hanging over the stone forest guarantees an instant adrenaline rush! Below the bridge lies the sharp limestone peaks of Tsingy, offering a breathtaking and thrilling view. Every step you take is filled with challenges and surprises. This suspension bridge is one of the highlights of the trails in Tsingy National Park. Walking mid-air and overlooking the stone forest feels like stepping into a magical world. If you're planning to visit this world-class natural wonder, love adventure, and aren't afraid of heights, this bridge is an experience you simply can't miss! Location: Suspension Bridge

After completing the Tsingy adventure, we headed to Camp Manambolo for lunch. The meal was simple, but the steaming hot soup and fresh post-meal fruits provided a perfect conclusion to this journey. Coincidentally, there were no other travelers that day, making the entire space feel like it was reserved just for us. The atmosphere was tranquil and pleasant, offering a great spot to relax and reminisce about the spectacular stone forest scenery we had just experienced. Camp Manambolo VQ2W+4GC, Bekopaka, Madagascar

A visit to the Manambolo River is an unforgettable experience, a slow and leisurely boat ride that will allow you to fully immerse yourself in nature. Walking along the quiet river, the towering cliffs on both sides and the magnificent scenery make you feel like you are in a fairy tale world. On the way, we will stop at two caves where we can see bats, which gives us a full sense of adventure. The river is not only the gateway to the Tsingy de Bemaraha Nature Reserve, but also a great way to gain insight into the local nature and culture. Because there are not many tourists, the whole journey seems more peaceful and private, which is very suitable for travelers who want to escape from the hustle and bustle and experience the original scenery. #3月好去地方2025 #ManamboloRiver #TsingyDeBemaraha #MadagascarTravel #CaveExploration #SlowTravel #NaturalWonder #SecretJourney #OriginalStyle #AdventureJourney #BeautifulScenery

This hotel is very warm and friendly. The meals are all freshly made home-cooked dishes, fresh and delicious, making people feel very satisfied! This is a B&B and also a restaurant! We also met an alligator that they rescued and took care of since it was a puppy. The owner shared its story with us and invited us to touch it, but we were still a little nervous (laughs).

At the ferry port (Port Bac) of Belo sur Tsiribihina, we experienced an unprecedented river crossing adventure! Unlike ordinary modern ports, this place relies entirely on a ferry system operated by human power. If you want your car to cross the river, you must first buy a ticket and queue up. The process is like a battlefield where the first-come-first-served wins. Everything requires the coordination and judgment of the experienced driver. What’s amazing is that the entire river crossing process relies on only one wooden platform to carry several vehicles, and the way to get the vehicles on board is for the staff to manpowerfully carry wooden planks and build a ramp for the vehicles to drive on! Before boarding the ship, all passengers must get off the bus first to avoid potential risks. The whole process was both primitive and efficient, the work team was well-trained and their movements were sharp. It was an unforgettable authentic African experience! #3月好去地方2025 #Madagascar旅行 #BeloSurTsiribihina #AfricaAdventure #FerryExperience #OriginalTransportation #LocalCulture #TravelFun #TravelDiary #Off-roadAdventure #AfricanStyle #MagicalMadagascar #TrafficWonder #RoadTripAfrica

Although the building is somewhat old, the Wi-Fi is unstable, and hot water is not always available, the overall experience is still good. Maéva Hotel is considered a mid-range, conveniently located, and friendly lodge in Morondava. Hotel maeva morondava Morondava 401 Madagascar

At first glance, it might not catch your eye, but the seafood dishes here are truly impressive! The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and the prices are incredibly affordable. A kilogram of lobster costs only about 500 TWD, making it an unbeatable value! Not only is the food delicious, but the service is also exceptionally attentive. There's live music performed on-site, and the musicians even sing Chinese songs, creating an amazing atmosphere. Guests dance joyfully to the music while savoring the food and experiencing the local warmth. When visiting Madagascar, you must try the baobab fruit juice here. It's unique, refreshing, and pairs perfectly with seafood. Le Corail P739+JPP, Rue De L' Independance, Morondava, Madagascar

On the first night in Madagascar, we stayed in the accommodation arranged by the driver. I originally just wanted to have a good rest, but I didn’t expect it to be a little surprise! It was already dark when we arrived at night. We didn't take a close look at the surroundings. We just felt that the room was clean and comfortable, the hot water and WiFi were stable, and we had a good night's sleep. It wasn’t until I woke up the next morning and opened the curtains that I truly felt the charm of this place! The courtyard is surrounded by various flowers and plants, with hundreds of flowers blooming and colorful, like a private secret garden. It is so beautiful that people can't help but take pictures until they forget the time. The environment is quiet and the air is fresh. I had this experience on the first day of my trip. I really recommend staying here for a night and enjoying the beauty of this garden.

1. Visa Application We understand that you can apply for a visa on arrival. The specific fees are as follows: USD 10 for a 15-day visa, USD 37 for a 30-day visa, USD 45 for a 60-day visa, and USD 55 for a 90-day visa. We recommend that travelers choose the appropriate visa duration based on their itinerary to avoid unnecessary trouble and expenses. A tip: Do not follow others' example of applying for a short-term visa and then renewing it, as the process is cumbersome and not cost-effective. 2. Entry and Language The entry process is smooth, and customs officers generally do not ask additional questions. People here mostly speak French. Although there are fewer English speakers, you don't need to worry too much about communication. You can download a French translation app in advance for emergencies. 3. Currency Exchange and SIM Cards Regarding currency exchange, we do not recommend exchanging money at the airport due to poor exchange rates. You can choose to go outside and find a taxi driver to exchange money. For example, on the way to Pegasus Hotel, drivers usually quote MGA 70,000, but the actual price can be bargained down to MGA 30,000–50,000. We finally settled at MGA 40,000. For SIM cards, you can choose to buy a 25 GB data package at an Orange store for about MGA 110,000 (approximately CNY 170). In addition, Airtel Express is also a good choice for price comparison. 4. Accommodation Recommendations 1. Budget: Hotel Moonlight, moderately priced, located near the city center, with a local market nearby, is a cost-effective choice. 2. Mid-range: A L'Hote is located on a hillside, with a nightly rate of about MGA 72,000 (sometimes discounted to MGA 65,000), with a balcony offering a panoramic view of the city. However, please note that the water pressure may occasionally be unstable. 3. Convenient: Jin Hai and Pegasus hotels are run by Chinese owners and offer Chinese food options, suitable for travelers who want a convenient stay. 5. Food Recommendations 1. The dishes at the Chinese restaurants Jin Hai and Pegasus are very delicious and unforgettable, and some tourists even say they want to return to China after eating there. 2. In addition, we also recommend Shaanxi Noodle House Dun Huang, where the dishes are also very good and worth a try. This is a brief travel guide we have prepared for you, and we hope it will be helpful for your trip. In addition, more detailed guides on attractions and nearby activities are being compiled, and we look forward to your continued attention and exploration. Good luck! Note: The above information is for reference only, and specific fees and policies may change over time. Please verify the latest information and plan your itinerary before traveling.

#Overseas travel With its beautiful nature and diverse environment, Madagascar is one of those travel destinations that makes you feel like you're in another world. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the amazing scenery of the rainforest and pristine beaches. 🌳🌊 One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the Tsingyi Forest, an area filled with unique rock formations that give the place its unique character. Walking among these rocks was an experience full of exploration and excitement. 🪨🚶♂️ I also enjoyed the famous "Baobab Forest" tour where the giant Baobab trees dominate the skyline and you can feel the natural history of the island. The sunset here was one of the most amazing moments as the sun beautifully darkened behind the trees. 🌅🌳 For wildlife, I had the chance to see the famous Madagascar animal, the lemur. It was a special moment to see them moving up close in their natural habitat. 🐒❤ The beaches in Madagascar were also amazing. White sandy beaches and clear waters were a great place to relax and swim. 🏖️💧 Madagascar is not only a natural resort, but also a place full of adventures and amazing views that make you feel deeply connected to nature. Visiting her was a unique experience and left an unforgettable impact on me!

The Indian Ocean is both strange and familiar to us. The strangeness is its remote distance, and the familiarity is its well-known beautiful scenery and colorful flora and fauna. Among the many island countries in the Indian Ocean, Madagascar has the largest area and is also the largest island in Africa. It has the most unique plants and animals in the world, and its tourism elements are rich and colorful. The other island countries, Seychelles, Mauritius, and Reunion, are known for their high-end and luxurious island vacations. They are also brilliant gems and pearls in the Indian Ocean. These four island countries are also known as the "Vanilla Four Countries" because of their rich vanilla production. 🛬The Ark of Noah in the Indian Ocean-Madagascar People call it the "forgotten lonely island by time". This somewhat sad name also fully reflects the uniqueness of this island. The diversity of organisms is dazzling, and the plants and animals on the island also breed and thrive in this "isolated" environment, forming a unique and mysterious wild animal world today. ⛺Go deep into the Andasibe Nature Reserve Andasibe National Forest Reserve is one of the five nature reserves established in Madagascar. The vegetation in the reserve is mainly tropical rainforest and rich in species. Among them, there are as many as 11 species of lemurs living in this reserve, exploring the "short-tailed lemur" and brown lemur. In addition, there are some rare and unique birds and amphibians and reptiles, such as chameleons. Here, you can have zero-distance contact with the original forest. ⛺Morondava by the sea, the sky is full of baobab trees The photography paradise Morondava is also known as the "hometown of baobab trees". When the sun sets, the golden sunlight is sprinkled on this red land, and the baobab trees stand in the sunset, as if telling ancient stories to people. On this road, the baobab trees are arranged intensively, and you can see 4 different species of baobab trees at the same time. It is the best place to appreciate the baobab trees. Occasionally, a bullock cart passes by, bringing up a dust, and it shows this primitive beauty vividly.
