ANTANANARIVO: Madagascar Capital City Walk

Madagascar is an island nation, off the coast of southern Africa, in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. The capital city is known as Antananarivo. With a population of nearly 1.5 million residents, it suffers from many of the same endemic problems as other developing countries — namely traffic, air pollution, sanitation and crime.

Madagascar is often visited by foreign tourists, who are drawn by the natural beauty and wildlife of the magnificent Baobab trees. And the unique species of lemurs that reside here.

But few visitors will spend any time in Antananarivo, using it as an entry and exit point only. A simple wander around the streets here reveals the Malagasy people to be friendly, polite and unassuming. Their daily struggle to survive is readily apparent. As the English expression states, to understand a person you must 'walk a mile in their shoes.' So watch this video, and take a meandering walk through the crowded streets of Antananarivo. Familiarize yourself with this French influenced culture. And witness a very different way of life. #madagascar #antananarivo

I was born and raised in Antananarivo and found my love there. I am very sorry to have left there. Now I live in a country that is much worse than Madagascar. I want to go back to the city of my childhood. Thank you!

serasa _familiar_ di kota2 besar di Papua 😅
banyak orang-orang berkulit hitam, tapi tak sedikit pula muka-muka melayu nya berkulit coklat yg lewat atau yang berdagang 😅

Kata Antananarivo bunyinya mirip seperti "Tanah nan seribu" dalam bahasa Melayu. Ungkapan ini digunakan untuk menyebut "Tanah/Negeri yang jauh" 😊

Salam untuk sepupu kami, dari Indonesia ❤

Looking at the Malagasy people it is so clear that their roots lie in the islands of Southeast Asia, whilst also having considerable admixture from the East African populations that would later arrive on the island. Such a beautiful and interesting place and people!

I lived for a few years in Tana as an expat kid, I left in 1992 don't recognize it at all and I can't believe they still have the Renault 4s and Peugeot 205 and Renault 18. Back then the biggest supermarket was Prisunic which closed 20 years ago.

Surprising that for more than 1000 years they didn't fully mixed, still you see distinctly Asian and African profiles.
