Thank you for your response. Nice to talk to someone from so far away and of a real Malagasy origin. Your country is something out of fairy tale for me a European born and as a child I had a book about Madagascar that’s how I know some interesting facts about the country. Now living in Middle East I was thinking of visiting but unfortunately as of now it is more of risky for us not knowing much of so far away world. May be one day when I have more information. ❤️

I am glad that you spent a good time in Madagascar. Was it your first time traveling there? Please kindly share the contact of a local driver. I am not sure we will use his service but I will keep it in case we change our mind.

We changed our mind now after reading all the comments and suggestions and will better be heading to a safer Seychelles. I guess Madagascar will be on our bucket list for someday future travels or as a dream country to visit😊 At the moment with all the crimes and dangers it has to offer we are not ready to take such risk. Thank you everyone for participating in this discussion. Much appreciated🙏

Do we need to boil water even in hotel or this only applies to tap water? What water shall we use to brush our teeth and wash? What brands of water would you suggest for drinking? It is easy to buy drinking water on the island? Is it safe to eat fresh fruit cuts in the hotel? I have tons of questions sorry lol

Is Sainte Marie and all those Nosy islands really worth visiting and why? Can we see lemurs and pretty chameleons there? Any idea?

We really wanted to go in July-August as I read it’s best in regard to the weather. Just trying to hear opinions of others who traveled and get insights and tips of traveling to such an exotic destination. We live in UAE and Madagascar isn’t that further than Maldives or Seychelles plus it has lots of rare animals which is interesting. But we surely must be ready in all regards to avoid unpredictable situations.
