Pack for All Weather

Madagascar has varying climates; be prepared with both light summer clothes and warmer layers. Expect high temperatures in coastal areas but cooler nights in the central highlands. Rain is possible in rainforests.
Bring Proper Footwear

A variety of footwear is recommended, including sandals for the beaches, comfortable boots for trekking, and sneakers for city walks.
Plan Your Transportation

Consider hiring a driver for transportation as roads can be rough and unreliable. Domestic flights may save time but check schedules as they may not always be dependable.
Stay Hydrated and Safe

Carry at least 2 liters of water while hiking, especially in the heat. Sunscreen and mosquito repellent are essential due to potential exposure to insects.
Cash is King

Bring local currency (MGA) as it's needed for tipping and small purchases. Many places do not accept credit cards.
Explore Nature and Wildlife

Do not miss national parks like Isalo and Ranomafana for hikes, natural pools, and wildlife spotting, including lemurs.
Enjoy the Local Cuisine

Try local dishes, including rice-based meals and unique Malagasy specialties. Eating at local markets can also be a delightful experience.
