"It is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions when visiting Madagascar. Avoid making negative comments about the country or its people, as this can be seen as offensive. Additionally, it is important to dress modestly and to avoid public displays of affection. It is also important to be aware of the local taboos and to avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics or religion. Finally, it is important to be mindful of the environment and to avoid littering or damaging the natural environment," explained one expat living in Madagascar.
