- 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.
