What are the precautions for traveling in Madagascar?

1. Summer clothes are the main clothes that Madagascar needs all the year round, but when traveling in dry season, jackets, windbreakers and sweaters are also necessary because of the large temperature difference between morning and evening, especially in Antananarivo, the capital, where the coldest time is in July and August every year, and the lowest temperature at night is only 11 or 2 degrees.

2. The sanitary conditions in Madagascar are backward, and some common diseases on the African continent, such as amebic dysentery and malaria, endanger people's health at any time. Tourists should bring some necessary medicines before traveling to Madagascar.

3. The public order in Madagascar is still good, and there are few cases of public robbery or assault, but there are many thefts. Tourists should also pay attention to their own safety.

4. Malagasy people respect their elders, so tourists should pay attention to the local customs of newcomers and treat the elderly everywhere, whether by car, road or visit. People who travel to Madagascar can take some one-dollar bills as tips and give them to those who provide direct service to you.

5. Tuesdays and Thursdays are taboo days in Madagascar. No meat is allowed in the week before the New Year, and only some birds are allowed for dinner on New Year's Eve. Malagasy people are afraid of black, which represents death and disaster.
