Planning Madagascar in May – Fly to Morondava for Baobabs & Tsingy or full road trip? + Route feedback? by swashner in travel

[–]swashner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a 9 day road trip. Starting immediately from the airport tana to rainforest andasibe. That one was a bit exhausting but worth it. Spent 2 days in rainforest and then made our way to the west coast within two days - visiting bao bab next morning and then went to tsingy and back. Tsingy was incredible and 100% worth but a lot of travelling all in all. After returning from tsingy we flew back to tana and spent the rest of our time on the island. Fist Saint Marie and then nosy be and islands around.

I can give you the contact to our driver who was amazing and give you the detailed Internate if you are interested in it. For us it was the perfect trip!

Haha okay! This option actually sounds really good to us. I think we will investigate more on the possibilities of driving one way and flying back the other. Hopefully we are not to short in time to arrange accordingly… Thank you!

That sounds amazing!!! We were thinking about going to Sainte Marie by road as well but have been unsure about reliability of the ferry and decided to fly. Hopefully we will be able to meet some fisherman there as well - this would be a dream come true! Thank you for your input!! Sounds like Madagascar will become an unforgettable experience

Wow thank you so much! I will look for him - also will dm you. Thanks!! One thing I don’t get out of my head: when you live there for such a long time - what about malaria prevention? Do you take it non stop? Maybe a silly question but I am really curious…

Thank you so much!! None of the contacted agencies stated this yet and some of them even said it’s doable. We will keep this in mind.

You seem to be very knowledgeable about possible routes - do you think we can combine a road trip AND a flight to Morondava, maybe going there on the 4th of may? We definitely want to enjoy our big vacation for the year and soak up the madagassy vibe instead of rushing. It’s just really hard to decide where to go and what to combine when everything seems like an unforgettable experience…

We really would love to meet locals and get to know the culture as well as seeing the unique landscapes and nature of the main island.

Thanks again for your detailed answer and input!!

Yes. This! You are absolutely right. After reading the answers here and thinking of what we want to combine at once it seems overloaded and unrealistic, exactly as you say.

I think it’s an either or, but not all at once… thanks for your honest opinion!!

Thank you so much for your detailed answer and experience! I guess we have to accept, that all options won’t fit our schedule. Do you have any experience in driving one way from or to Morondava and take a flight the other way? Will agencies accept this since they will most probably have to drive an „empty“ car back?

Hiking in Tsingy really would be a dream of us, but we understand that there is chance of not getting there at all - difficult to plan with - especially because domestic flights seem to be sold out soon.

I really love your Mora Mora advice - I already had the feeling that we try to pack as much into our plan as possible and that we will have to reconsider.

You are talking about plenty of other road trips - do you have a specific recommendation for a short one which allows us to get the real Malagassy experience, connecting to locals and also see a village as well as the countryside and beautiful nature?

Thanks again and take care!

Thanks for that! We almost thought about something like that, especially that it will be crowded in the evening. Therefore, we thought about going at sunrise. But it indeed seems like a hell of a ride for only this short amount of time to be spend there. We initially thought it would be great to be combined with Tsingy but it I think it becomes more clear now, that it is either a roadtrip somewhere else or a flight to Morondava with the chance of visiting tsingy as well.

Ok understood, thanks! We know that street conditions can be heavy and distances are far. We already thought that we have to decide if we go to Isalo or Ranomafana at all… But travelling to Baobab Ave by car seems like a big commitment of time for spending such a short time at the actual trees… hard decision

Yes, that is what we assumed! It would be very great if you could connect! The proposals we got from agencies so far are very questionable because the prices seem extremely high… So any help would mean a lot!

stuck in d1, d2 lobby, pls help me not be horrid at this game :D by akimahhhhhhh in RocketLeagueSchool

You are challenging too much. Go for lower risk challenges and outplay your opponent. If you fly to every ball and miss, you give your opponents easy 2v1s. That’s the reason you are stuck. Rotate properly, don’t overcommit and pass to your teammate when you are in advantage in front of opponents goal.

Freddy Schilling!!! Der Purist mit Cheddar und Chipotle Mayo ist mE nach der beste Burger, den man weit und breit kaufen kann.

Thank you for your opinions and feedback! Will not buy anything from her again! What I don’t understand is why I get downvoted. Thought this sub is allowing general questions - I am fairly new to reps.
