Madagascar is such a unique country that is blessed with a special mixture of people. Not only will you be able to see the unique blend of people on the faces of the Malagasy, you also will be able to see a variety of flora & fauna that is unique to Madagascar. When I decided to go to Madagascar it was only because of the Stone Forest, anything else like the amazing Avenue of Baobabs and Lemurs were just a bonus. Since there are so many things to see I decided to stay 3 weeks.
It wasn’t enough time to see everything but was just enough time due to the fact that I couldn’t find decent internet! I always try day trading anywhere I go but in Madagascar I had a lot of problems trying to day trade.
You definitely need more than three weeks to explore the country since its bigger than the state of California! The route that I made was both the common tourist route and also places that most tourists don’t go. When I go back to Madagascar I would like to dive near the Nosy Be & Santa Marie islands as well as explore the northern and eastern coasts. Think I will stay a full month next time.

I cannot wait to visit Madagascar. Everyone keeps raving about it!
mica… AMAZING.
What is a reasonable daily budget in Madagascar?
Cosmo it can be extremely cheap if you are using local transport but also depends what kind of activities you want to do. I would say minimum $20 a day and possibly an average of roughly $30 a day
I think a 3 week trip can have a heavy content, it must have been great!
Anything at least 10 days is a REAL trip in my opinion. In rare cases 7 days will do, but I like staying longer myself…
Hi Marcello, i have only 7 days for madagaskar. do you think it will be comfortably enough (not to rush) to do #1, #2,#3 for this duration. at the end of the trip i have to comeback to tana to fly out.
could you please recommended the 4×4 WD rental or reasonable price travel agent? how much it will cost (driver inclusive) per day?
Thx
