Before traveling to any country, you should spend considerable time researching not only the best prices for airfare and what you plan to do after you arrive, but also health a safety concerns. Madagascar is a relatively safe place both for health and safety concerns as long as basic measures are taken to prevent problems before and during the visit to Madagascar. Below are several sources of information that I have found invaluable in preparing and traveling within Madagascar and suggest them to anyone interested in traveling to Madagascar in the near future. If you have any sites that you think should be included here, please contact me.
