- Africa ↗When a route touches a yellow-fever country — even a transit of 12 hours or more — keep the original yellow card (ICVP) in your hand luggage; health desks and airlines can refuse boarding or entry without it.
- Africa ↗Nine African countries on this site have no trip line because governments advise against travel; several others have no-go regions. Read your government's advice for every country on the route before paying deposits.
- African islands ↗Sleep on the island you fly home from the night before your long-haul departure; inter-island flights and ferries in this region are cancelled or rescheduled often enough to break a same-day connection.
- African islands ↗In the Indian Ocean islands book flexible rates for December to March: a cyclone warning can shut airports, ferries and roads for two or three days.
- Madagascar ↗Check visa and e-visa rules for your passport on Madagascar's official e-visa portal before booking.
- Madagascar ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead; ask about malaria prevention and whether a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for your route.
- Madagascar ↗Hire a car with a driver for road trips; self-drive is rarely practical and driving after dark is unsafe.
- Madagascar ↗Do not buy or export wildlife, tortoise shell, precious stones without a certificate, or protected plants; enforcement at the airport is strict.
- Antananarivo and the highlands ↗Hire a car with a driver for trips out of town; self-drive is rarely practical, and driving after dark is unsafe.
- Antananarivo ↗The Haute-Ville is steep, with long flights of steps and cobbles: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Antananarivo ↗After dark, take a hotel-booked or radio taxi door to door; do not walk between clusters.

Dish glossary
| On the menu | What it is | Order it how |
|---|---|---|
| Mofo gasy | A slightly sweet rice-flour cake cooked in a round pan, the classic breakfast street food. | Bought by the piece; best hot off the pan in the morning. |
| Koba | A dense peanut-and-rice cake steamed in a banana leaf. | Sold by the slice or the roll; keeps well for a snack later. |
| Mofo baolina | Small fried dough balls. | Bought by the handful, a quick sweet snack. |
Price check
- locals pay
- A mofo gasy or a slice of koba is about Ar 500–2,000 (2026 estimate).
- tourist price
- Prices at these stalls rarely move much for visitors; still confirm before handing over a large note.
- rule
- Have small notes ready — stallholders often cannot change a large bill.
Dietary: what to say
| Need | Say or show | Reality here |
|---|---|---|
| Peanut allergy | Manavaka legioma aho, tsy mihinana voanjo. | Koba is peanut-based; avoid it and ask before trying anything unfamiliar. |
Hygiene notes
- Buy from stalls cooking in front of you rather than pre-made piles sitting in the open.
- Bottled water only.

Questions and answers
Is this the same as the hotely?
No — these are standing snack stalls inside the market itself, for a quick bite between browsing. Sit down at a hotely for a full meal.
