While the weather is more humid in the central and eastern regions like Antananarivo and Toamasina, so the first important thing in your mind must be to keep an umbrella at hands all the time to deal with unexpected rains. If you travel to natural reserves, breathable and sweat-absorbing long-sleeved tops and light pants are more advised for you. Mosquito repellent is also a must.
