Real Life Madagascar : Massive Analakely Market in Antananarivo
**Analakely Market**, also known as the **Zoma Market**, has a fascinating history in the heart of Antananarivo, Madagascar. While it may have lost some of its former glory, it remains an essential part of the city's cultural fabric.
1. **Origins and Glory Days**:
- In its prime, Analakely Market was legendary. It was the bustling hub of commerce, where traders from all corners of the island converged to sell their wares.
- The market's name, Zoma, refers to the traditional Malagasy market day, which occurs every Saturday. During these Zoma days, the market would come alive with activity, colors, and sounds.
- People flocked to Analakely to buy and sell everything imaginable: clothing, household items, spices, fruits, vegetables, and more.
2. **Diverse Offerings**:
- Even today, Analakely Market remains a packed and teeming place. Visitors can explore a chaotic maze of stalls, each offering a unique blend of goods.
- You'll find clothes, household items, and dodgy DVDs alongside an impressive variety of food products. From fresh produce to exotic spices, the market caters to every culinary need.
- However, due to the crowded conditions, it's advisable not to bring any valuables with you.
3. **Architectural Context**:
- The market is located on **Ave Andrianampoinimerina**, a bustling street in Antananarivo.

The past few days in Antananarivo, Madagascar have been overwhelming, intense and eye-opening. And I apologize for the delays in posting these videos -- it's been nearly impossible to find decent enough wifi.
Madagascar, as a whole, is a beautiful tropical island with stunning greenery, giant baobab trees and unique wildlife (like lemurs!). It's also massive -- about twice the size of my home state of Arizona -- floating 250 miles off the southeastern part of mainland Africa.
But putting the natural beauty aside, Madagascar is one of the World's poorest countries, with the 5th lowest GDP per capita. Walking on the streets of Antananarivo, I couldn't help but observe and analyze what I was seeing --- people just barely managing to survive, working labor-intensive jobs with very little pay.
My new local friends and I took a mini road trip to some outer villages, where I learned about the daily life of people working in the markets. Here's what I discovered.
If there's any takeaway from today (and through travel in general) -- it is to appreciate the life I live. If you are reading this as well, consider yourself lucky because you have internet, which most of the people in Madagascar cannot afford.

Explore Madagascar's capital Antananarivo with Sadify
Antananarivo is Madagascar's lively capital city nestled on and around the Central Highlands. In this episode we take a look at the city through the eyes — and lens — of local photographer and activist Sadify Andrian. With 1.5 million residents, Antananarvio — also known as Tana — is the undisputed cultural and economic heart of the island. It is located 1,280 m (4,199 ft) above sea level and has been the center of Malagsy power for three centuries. Although it's often bypassed by tourists, there's plenty of culture and history to discover in this bustling city.

Madagascar - how to travel to Madagascar and how to prepare your trip
How to travel Madagascar?
In this video I explain what you need to prepare before traveling to Madagascar. This includes general information about visa on arrival, the currency, what are the highlights of Madagascar and how to get around.
Getting around in Madagascar can be really time consuming so we booked a private driver and one internal flight with Air Madagascar. This helps you to get around faster as you can't really rely on the public transport. For our trip we mainly focus on:
Ranomafana, Andasibe Mantadia national park and Île aux Natte (Nosy Noraha). Of course there are more places to visit like: Antananarivo, Isalo, Nosy Be or Antsiranana.
Your medical preparation must include: malaria prophylaxis, typhoid, hepatites and rabies, polio.

Andasibe is a small town where you can visit two major national parks: Analamazaotra and Mantadia.

On the Streets in Diego Suarez Madagascar
A walk in the busy downtown area of Diego-Suarez. Full of vendors, small restaurants, markets and more.
Diego Suarez is my favorite city in Madagascar so far. Not too big, not too small, lots of cafes, restaurants , boulangeries. With some tourists and nightlife unlike other cities I have been in recently.

Picking up our Driver's Wife Outside of Antananarivo, Madagascar
We were through one of the suburbs of Antananarivo (Tana), the capital city of Madagascar, and stopped to pick up our driver's wife, after a day of shopping in the local markets
06b - Local market near Ranomafana (Madagascar 2022)
This is part 6(b) of our trip to Madagascar (may 9 - june 26 2022).
In a small village just outside Ranomafana we visited a very nice local market.
We started our trip in busy Tana (Antananarivo) and visited the Kings palace and walked in the ricefields just outside town.
The roundtrip started (after a flight) in Tuliar in the south, where our driver/guide Nick waited for us. The south is very dry and the 'spiny forest' covers the landscape further south.
Next stop was Isalo, a parc that reminds you of the beautiful parcs of Utah (USA). On the way we stopped in Zombitse to see the beautiful Verraux sifaka.
Next stops were Andringitra, Ranamofana and Andringitra. From there we drove in 3 days to the spectaculair Tsingy de Bamaraha and returned to Tana.
After a flight to Diego Suarez Richard waited for us to be our guide in the north. The highlights there are Ankarana (tsingy), Red Tsingy and Montagne d'Ambre.
After returning to Tana again we visited the famous Andisabe and Mantadia parcs and after a long drive the Palmarium lodge in the Pangalanes (large channels parallel to the rough see).
Our trip ended under the palm trees of Ile St Marie.

The Roadside Market Economy of Madagascar
This video clearly shows the small market economy of the towns in Madagascar. There are very few stores as we know them. Instead local people set up stalls along the road and sell whatever they can, everything from food stuff to clothing, shoes, and home supplies.

Madagascar: Antananarivo, Antsirabe and Ranomafana - how to travel around + Kenya Airways review
How to travel around Madagascar? What do I need to know? How should I prepare? How are the people like? How to get around? How do the cities look like? Many questions running through my head while planning the trip to Madagascar. In my videos about Madagascar I give you an overview about information you need to know before going. For example how to get around - we had a privat driver for €50 a day.We booked with the company GMT+3. You can also use public transport which is really slow. Depending how much time you have public transport is cheaper for sure (some rides cost like 20.000 Ariary)!We almost didn't book any hotel / resort in advance. We just went to the town and looked for accommodation which is really easy if you have your own driver.
I also give you some ideas about the airline Kenya airways, our short stay in Nairobi (Kenya), how much you pay for the hotels in Madagascar, how to book tours (hikes) through the National Park of Ranomafana and much more.
Our route in this video:
-Hamburg to Amsterdam
-Amsterdam to Nairobi (one night in Nairobi)
-Nairobi to Antananarivo
-Antananarivo to Antsirabe (one night in Antsirabe)
-Antsirabe to Ambositra
-Ambositra to Ranomafana (two nights in Ranomafana)
-Ranomafana to Antananarivo (one night in Antananarivo / hotel close to the airport)
