Madagascar travel stories

Field-tested guides, slow-travel itineraries, and destination stories from Madagascar.

250km from Toamasina, past the paved road, lies Marolambo NP. 95,000 hectares of dense rainforest. Entry €10–15. No luxury. Just data.

Toamasina II tests your patience with humidity and silence. Look past the port to find the rules of the land.

Pack for the Canal des Pangalanes. Leave the ego in Antananarivo. Mahanoro demands utility, not aesthetics. You are not going to Mahanoro to be seen.

Ampasimanolotra is a transit hub. Your policy needs to cover rail delays and medical evacuation from the east coast.

Skip the crowds. Mahanoro offers raw coastal beauty, canal boat rides, and easy access to the Mangoro River in Madagascar’s Atsinanana region.
