- The weather is only bad from the middle of January to the end of February.
Being an Island, there can be cyclones between February and March .
Without any cyclones, you can come to Visit Madagascar from March when the nature is still fresh and to avoid the crowded June to September.
- The East Coast of Madagascar has the Rainforests of the Island where there is microclimate: sudden drizzles, short but heavy rain…
So you need to bring light but waterproof raincoat.
Madagascar is a warm country: You need hats and flip flaps when travel and boots for trekking
