Has anyone one on here got experience traveling Madagascar?
Looking for info regarding traveling and kiting around the place.
Went to Madagascar for 5 weeks in 2016 July/August. Surfing and kitesurfing (on a surfboard not twinny)
Spent a week in the North at Diego Suarez (antsiranana). Kited Sakalava and Emerald Island. EI was sick but it's a day trip to get out there
and there's a few windsurfers too. Sakalava I found was busy. I stayed 15 min away so was annoying to get to. YOu can stay there but it's expensive.
Then went all the way South (absolute mission without flying, the roads are ****ed) to Anakao on the South West Coast and stayed there for 4 weeks. Excellent kiting and surfing. There's a kite camp/school there in the South end of the beach. but I just kited from where I was staying at chez emile (6 bucks a night for own bungalow). Can be sketchy if something goes wrong, I spent a long long time trying to explain to locals with boats that I would pay them to watch me, and if they see the kite go down to come and get me (1-2km offshore). Alas, I speak dick all french and I don't think they understood what I was getting at.
There's a lot to chat about here but overall it's a mad place, super cheap, good waves and safe (I think) outside of Antananarivo.
Will PM my number, feel free to give us a call and you can ask anything you like.
