    bestTimeToVisit

    Before
    November to April is the dry northeast-monsoon season — sunny skies, calm seas and the best visibility for diving. May to October is wetter and windier but cheaper.
    After
    No official source we could read gives a best time to visit the Maldives. The CIA World Factbook describes a dry northeast monsoon from November to March and a rainy southwest monsoon from June to August; Canada's travel advice instead says the rainy season runs from November to April in the northeast and from May to October in the southwest.

  9. Maldives

    payments

    After
    Canada's travel advice says major credit cards are accepted at resorts and hotels, US dollars can be exchanged at the airport, banks and hotels, and ATMs that accept some foreign cards are found only in Malé and the more populated non-resort islands.

  18. Madagascar

    FAQ answer

    Before
    April to October, in the dry season — cooler weather, passable roads and the best wildlife viewing. July to September adds humpback whale watching off Île Sainte-Marie. November to March is cyclone season, with heavy rain in the north and east.
    After
    No government publishes seasonal guidance for visitors. The UK FCDO says the cyclone season normally runs from November to April and that many secondary roads are impassable except by 4-wheel-drive in the December–April rainy season.

  19. Madagascar

    FAQ answer

    Before
    Most trips are trouble-free, but take petty and opportunistic crime seriously in Antananarivo and on isolated beaches, avoid demonstrations given the unsettled political situation, and plan around the November–April cyclone season. Check your government's travel advice before booking.
    After
    Take care. Canada's travel advice says petty crime is common throughout the country, that violent crime is reported in all regions, and that armed gangs have assaulted tourists in isolated areas such as beaches and national parks. Demonstrations are frequent and can turn violent, and the UK FCDO says the cyclone season normally runs from November to April.

  20. Madagascar

    Tip

    Before
    Malaria is present year-round in coastal and lowland areas. Take prophylaxis, use repellent and sleep under nets; the central highlands carry lower risk.
    After
    Canada's travel advice says there is a risk of malaria in certain areas and at certain times of year, and that antimalarial medication may be recommended depending on your itinerary — see a health professional before you travel and use insect repellent.

  21. Madagascar

    Tip

    Before
    Road travel is slow — a few hundred kilometers can take a full day on degraded roads — so most visitors use domestic flights to cover long distances.
    After
    The UK FCDO says road conditions vary greatly and are often poor, advises against driving at night, and says many secondary roads are impassable except by 4-wheel-drive in the December–April rainy season. It also warns of armed robberies on main roads, particularly at night.

  22. Madagascar

    Tip

    Before
    Change money at banks or official bureaux and carry enough ariary for several days whenever you leave a major town — card payment and ATMs are scarce in rural areas.
    After
    Canada's travel advice says cash can be withdrawn from only a limited number of ATMs in Antananarivo and that some banks will not convert ariary back into hard currency, so plan your cash before leaving the capital.

  23. Madagascar

    Tip

    Before
    Political conditions have been unsettled since the change of government in late 2025. Avoid demonstrations and large gatherings, follow local news and check your government's travel advice before and during your trip.
    After
    Canada's travel advice says the military took over on 14 October 2025 after large-scale demonstrations and announced a two-year transition. Demonstrations are frequent and can turn violent: avoid them and large gatherings, and follow local news.

  24. Madagascar

    Tip

    Before
    Cyclones regularly strike Madagascar between November and April, especially on the east coast — flights and roads can be cut for days, so monitor forecasts and build slack into any rainy-season itinerary.
    After
    The UK FCDO says the cyclone season normally runs from November to April, with coastal areas particularly at risk; storms can cut access to remote parts of the country and contaminate water supplies. Monitor forecasts and allow slack in your plans.

  25. Madagascar

    Customs note

    Before
    It is prohibited to take protected wildlife, corals, seashells or fossils out of Madagascar.
    After
