Cash, cards and currency exchange

・ To exchange money, get euros in Japan and exchange them at the airport or bank in Madagascar to Ariary, Madagascar.
・ Since Madagascar was originally a French colony, the exchange rate using the euro, which is the French currency, is the best rate.
・ You can use a credit card, but you may need cash at small shops and taxis, so we recommend using a card and cash together.

Tips

There is a habit of tipping.
・ Hotel porters and doormen: about 500 ariaries
・ Restaurant: About 10% of the bill if the service charge is not included in the slip

Public order

Compared to all of Africa, security is stable.
・ It does not mean that crime does not occur at all, so it is necessary to be careful. Especially in places where there are many tourists, pickpockets often occur. The number of group robberies in which multiple people commit crimes is increasing, so be careful not to let your guard down.

clothing

・ Depending on the time of year and region, you can spend all year round in long-sleeved shirts in the inland areas. The coastal area is sunny and warm, so it is useful to have a T-shirt and a light shirt or stole to protect against the sun. In the south, if you are participating in a morning and evening walking safari, it is mandatory to bring warm clothing such as fleece and windbreakers.

What you should bring with you

・Gastrointestinal medicines, cold medicines, mobile batteries, insect repellent goods, sun protection goods, etc.

Visa availability and arrangements

・To enter Madagascar, you need to obtain a visa. It is also possible to obtain a short-term visa for a short stay of 30 days or less at the airport.

Required vaccinations

・There is no obligation to travel. However, vaccination against hepatitis A and B, rabies, and HIV is recommended.
・ Since medical institutions are not well equipped, it is recommended that you get vaccinated before traveling just in case.
