Things to do in Madagascar in April
Madagascar has a tropical climate, with two distinct seasons: the rainy season (November to April) and the dry season (May to October). April falls within the rainy season, so you can expect warm temperatures and high humidity, with occasional showers. So we are suggesting you pack accordingly.
*Travel eSims are a great way to stay connected while travelling. They are easy to set up online, no need to visit a store, and can be used in multiple countries. They are a data saver compared to international roaming and are compatible with most phones.
