Sakamanga Hotel, Antananarivo, Madagascar, May 16 - 18 and 24 - 26, 2025

 All of us volunteers stayed at the Sakamanga Hotel in Antananarivo.  It is a very nice hotel, but I think it was made by connecting multiple buildings.  It is like a maze finding your way around and it is also like a museum with artifacts and historical information through out the hotel. This first batch of photos are from my first weekend there, May 16 - 18.











 

The hotel had a breakfast place attached on one side, a restaurant upstairs, and a cafe and bar next to the pool.  It really was an excellent place to stay.  There were a couple of banks with ATMs and several shops within a two minute walk of the hotel.  And the rooms were also decorated.  These photos were from my second stay there May 24 - 26.



















 

This was a superb hotel - if you ever visit Antananarivo, this is the hotel to stay.  I stayed one extra night beyond the group rate nights and it was only about $40 for the night.  I also met people from Germany who run a nonprofit.

While walking around, I was reminded of scenes from Nepal, where many electrical and phone lines went from every telephone pole.

Antananarivo has an impressive city hall.

  1. Most interesting hotel. Not sure if we'd be able to sleep, shower and use the toilet with all those creatures watching.
