It is necessary to know certain things concerning the country, you have to be well-repared and you must keep the good attitude !

- Take care not to eat raw vegetables and raw meats, you definitely must drink bottled water and better and use it even for brashing your tooth with this water. The guide will advise you restaurants which are more bearable for your stomach.

- You have to be a minimum sportsman, thus this journey is not advised to the handicapped persons, to the travelers with children smaller than 6 years old or too old people, nor to people who look for European or luxury conditions.

- Let us know in advance if you have too much dizziness or if you have other particular matters !

- Roads are long in distance, dusty, dammaged and tiring!

- Inform yourselves or ask us about climate of  the period and region you go to ! 
For example the best period to go to the West is from February until November, thus it is the winter of southern hemisphere. Antananarivo and the Highlands are on 1500 meters in an avarage. The weather is usually sunny daytime (not so much rain) but the evenings are fresh. It is valid also for the nights in  the campings. Do not forget to bring pullovers and long pants with you and even a sleeping bag if you have the possibility.
It is better to know a little bit more about your travelling period also because of beeing well-prepared for your programs. For example, Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park is closed for the public between November and February !

- In this country people know the famine, please respect them ! To eat a big piece of beefsteak in front of them, it is possible but not with an arrogant, cynical or phlegmatic behavior. Also you can be dissatisfied in a place but you should consider the difference between your country and this one, you are in an African country where you do not find the European standard.  

- Better to take medication against malaria. It is useful to bring with you disinfecting / sterilizing (bétadine and alcohol for disinfection or others), antibiotic by knowing how it is necessary to use in the case, paracetamol or others against pain and inflammation, bandage, gauze, dry soap, water purificatory in any case and other things which can be useful.

- Do not bathe in fresh water (lakes, rivers), even if we do not hear about the problem of bilharziosis (schistosomiasis, or snail fever) or attacks of crocodile, in spite of seeing tourists and other people in the water, avoid the risk to zero !
