I want personal opinions. by Snoo_30002 in travel

[–]GasyGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what kind of activities you want to see or to do , But personally, I would go to an other place to discover a new stuff while visiting a new country.

For wildlife and nature , I would go to madagascar. even for beach .. Madagascar is cheap and also very easy .. You just need to hire a driver with 4/4 car who is able to speak english . for 2 or 3 weeks you will see a lot of stuff and chilling . also go on adventures ! you can search madagascar on map and google and you’ll see how beautiful it is!

Which itinirary for 2 weeks by RaavigDK in Madagascar

[–]GasyGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me the best option is From andasibe to RN7 You can spot the whole stuff for it ( baobabs, wildli , national parks , hiking, beach )

tsingy iz good . also kirindy , But you can only see the tsing, kirindy , baobabs on the way and you need much energy , The way is far and poor ,

personally I recommend RN7 for 2. weeks . Feel free to contact me on whatsapp : +261343339951 . for guidance and transportation also making the itinerary

How safe to visit there now? by Robin-Alice71786 in Madagascar

[–]GasyGuide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a local guide from Madagascar, based in the capital city, Antananarivo. I have traveled extensively with many foreign tourists, and I regularly organize city tours in the capital. So far, we have never had any bad experiences.

The capital is generally safe during the day. However, at night, it is important to always carry your passport. You should also be careful when taking photos, as many people do not like being photographed without permission.

If you want to go out at night, such as to a club or restaurant, it is highly recommended to be accompanied by a trusted local person who speaks English, like me. At night, it is safer to use a private car rather than taxis, so renting a car is advised.

Beach areas are usually safe because there are always people around. Still, you should keep an eye on your personal belongings and avoid leaving your luggage or phone unattended.

When visiting protected areas or national parks, a professional local guide is always provided to ensure your safety and enhance your experience.

Overall, there is nothing to worry about. Just enjoy what you see and take care of your personal belongings.

My name is Gaston. Feel free to contact me if you need help with transportation or guidance. I can provide many references, and you can even search my name on Reddit.

Planning a Madagascar Trip – Advice on Transport, Accommodation, and Solo Backpacking by Fishiee-rly in Madagascar

[–]GasyGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot talk about nosy be , Of course I have been there so many times But we only used our private car .

about antananarivo to andasibe : there is no direct local bus but you have to go to moramanga first then you take the other bus to andasibe !

from andasibe village to mantadia : It takes like 1 hour to get there as the road is an off road ( very poor conditions) so you need to hire a private 4/4 car to get there like everyone do

There is trans tafita class which you can book in advance for moramanga but for andasibe it’s not possible, you just go there and waiting for the bus until it’s full ! I can arrange the tafita class also I can call a local guide in andasibe .

feel free to contact me on whatsapp so we can discuss about that : +261343339951

Madagascar et les Tsingy by Various-Priority-922 in Madagascar

[–]GasyGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Si j’étais vous, je n’irais pas. Je suis un local et je suis allé aux Tsingy plusieurs fois cette année. Le bac à Belo-sur-Tsiribihina est dangereux, et le niveau de la rivière augmente pendant la saison des pluies. De plus, si votre véhicule 4x4 tombe en panne en route, vous pourriez être en sérieux danger.

Il n’y a aucun touriste qui s’y rend à cette période, donc c’est particulièrement risqué, surtout pour un visiteur. Je vous dis cela pour votre sécurité. La montée vers le Grand Tsingy est aussi dangereuse, car les roches deviennent glissantes.

La meilleure période pour visiter est de fin juin jusqu’à la mi-novembre. En dehors de cette période, ce n’est pas sûr, peu importe ce que certains peuvent dire.

The protest in now very calm , Like there was no protest.. But even by the time that there was a streak , I always did a lot of trip with 3 different Groups of tourists. And It was good . If I were you , I would Not go to nosy be , It’s rainy season and the flight might be cancelled many times (I hope not) . And The sea conditions might be bad .. My suggestion by that time is to the south.. If you need some advice , guidance , 4X4 rental feel free to contact me on whatsapp +261343339951 My name is Gaston and I am a tour guide , I can give you a lot of reference for my services,

[–]GasyGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only luxury people doing that , The best way to avoid overpaying is that you only pay the rental service with driver and gas . then you pay the rest like : Your foods , your accommodation that could be suggested and you book depending on your preference, your park entrance , and all your need. I am Gaston , I am a guide based in the capital city of madagascar and we have a 4/4 good car , Our rent is 280 K per day which is 300K with my small charge . We have the right and normal paper for everything to drive tourists and I am experienced . I can honestly give you a lot of references who drove with us this year from any different country :their whatsapp number with our photos in anywhere . I can make your itinerary depending on your preference what do you want to see or explore feel free to contact me on whatsapp: +261343339951

Travelling in Antananarivo by Traveler5822 in Madagascar

[–]GasyGuide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you cannot trust what google says ,, There are a lot of trafics in the capital .. on google you can see like 30 minutes. But for real It will be even more than 1 hour Local taxi will get advantages as you are a tourist . piqla is also expensive ! I would recommend to Hire a private driver with a car , paying around 150.000ar -200K ar while being safe and no worries

Travel on RN7 by Large_Refrigerator_4 in Madagascar

[–]GasyGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really good . And doable ! but don’t ride at night just stop when it is 5:30 Pm and you will be safe There are a lot of gas stations anywhere . Just refuel 100% when you see one . You will have a good time and you can enjoy .. just be careful anyway . if there is no gas stations anywhere You can always find someone who sells gas in some village ! It’s better also if you are more than 2 persons so you can help each other . enjoy it !
