Title – Butcher
Date – August 2003
Location - Toamasina - Madagascar

Sometimes common sense tells you when something is not right. There is the experience of embracing all that the country you are visiting has to offer, but even in Madagascar there are better offerings then this. Certainly hygiene standard differ from country to country and place to place, but you have to make an informed choice as to when the standards have dropped so much that they have fallen below a safe limit. Our suggestion; don’t ask for rare steak in this town.

Madagascan food is generally very interesting and certainly much of it is truly part of the experience of the country, but there are minimum standards you should demand. Getting ill this far away from home is a very unpleasant experience. Beyond The Blue will guide you in the basics of preparing and executing a successful travel experience through our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop, we can give you advice and guidance that will help you reduce the risks involved in your trip, but you have to employ common sense to make the guidance work effectively.
