Which country is Madagascar?

Madagascar is an island country in southern Africa, with a total population of about 23 million and an area of about 587,000 square kilometers. It is the fourth largest island in the world (the other three islands are Greenland, new guinea and kalimantan island).

What should I pay attention to when traveling to Madagascar?

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

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

The law and order in Madagascar is still good. There are few cases of public robbery or beating, but there are many cases of theft. Tourists should also pay attention to their own safety. Madagascar is a country in Africa, located in the southwest of the Indian Ocean, facing the African continent across the mozambique channel. People here live a carefree life that is envied by the world.
