On the Streets in Diego Suarez Madagascar

A walk in the busy downtown area of Diego-Suarez. Full of vendors, small restaurants, markets and more.
Diego Suarez is my favorite city in Madagascar so far. Not too big, not too small, lots of cafes, restaurants , boulangeries. With some tourists and nightlife unlike other cities I have been in recently.

[@lorenzo-diegosuarez]

Diego-Suarez is very very nice!...Thanks!!!!...J'ai déjà visité plusieurs villes de Madagascar, mais ma ville préférée reste tout de même Diégo-Suarez!... Merci encore pour vos belles et enrichissantes vidéos!.

[@dertalexhien2077]

Good sight seeing, thanks for sharing.

Nice sights and scenes.

[@evangelinemarcadella1087]

I’ve been watching alllll your videos about Diego Suarez. Can you please show us less crowed places such as la pyrotechnic? Love your work btw

[@pddembowski]

Thank You. I have never heard of la pyrotechnic, will check it out online.

[@passivenomads]

I lived in a hut for a month in a small beach resort 15kms from there i think its called Ramaner

[@pddembowski]

Yes, La Ramena, nice beach I was there for a day.

[@xaversongqvsl3610]

Just was there in Ocotber 2023 for 3 weeks - the first time after 9 years. Still looks the same. Really good place if you look for good food and nightlife. Nevertheless got a bit bored but will definitely go back there in 9 years again

[@pddembowski]

yes it can get dull after a couple weeks. Maybe go to Ramena beach, Ambilobe or Sambava for a bit for a change of scenery.

[@Zeta_Reticulum]

So every 9 years... well then I should also return. I was there until 1985, so I will return every 40 years, in 2025

C'est vrai qu.'à l'époque, c'était plus des taxis 4L. Et c'était sympa.Et lors des visites, il fallait planquer tout ce qui brille. Bonjour les lances à incendies. Cela faisait plus de 10 ans, je crois, qu'il y avait pas eu d'escale à DIEGO ( quelqu'un qui peu justifié (DDL 1988/89), afin Antsiranana. Après Rio, Toulon, c'est bien un des plus bels rades, que j'ai pu visiter.

[@ckskuo7182]

Hola, perdon si la pregunta es medio rara pues no se mucho de este pais En que parte de Madagascar hay mas poblacion que hable Malgache? En que parte se ve mas esa mezcla de Africano con Asiatico? Pregunto porque se que este pais es algo diverso

[@pddembowski]

en el sur (Tulear por example) y en los pueblocitos mucha gente sólo habla malgache. La gente en el sur suele tener la piel mas oscura.

[@jerome663]

Mon dernier passage à DIEGO 1988 sur le Doudart de Lagrée. Cela a bien changer.

[@Gristourdille]

Moi aussi. Je ne reconnais plus l'endroit 🙂

[@joaomarveloso1049]

Are there any good beaches for swimming over there?

[@pddembowski]

near Diego Suarez is a beach Called La Ramena. It is a nice beach, you can take a tuk tuk taxi there from the streets as the road going there is very smooth.

Great Video, Cheers 🍺🍺

[@MrBird666]

Hello Paul - I was interested in the type of camera you use to film walking videos ? Thinking of buying an action camera - great work on these videos btw , I find them very relaxing to watch - please don't stop.

[@pddembowski]

I use a GOPRO 10. You can buy all sorts of accessories. Don't be fooled by cheap Chinese clone cameras on AMAZON, they always have issues.

[@MrBird666]

Is it true that the GOPRO's freeze from time to time and overheat or is that just something that could happen rarely ? @@pddembowski

[@pddembowski]

@@MrBird666 I've used them in very hot climate , occasionally they overheat but so does my iphone

Can I find an English speaking tour guide there

[@LilianP-cb6zx]

So, DS is better than Toliara or Tamatave?

[@pddembowski]

I would return to all 3 cities. Tamatave has a decent beach right there, it's more of a party town. I liked Tulear also. Diego is my favorite but not by much.

[@plouplou1136]

As malagasy , tamatave is the best than those 3 listed above. In term of beach, nossy be and sainte marie are the best for all the beach in madagascar.

[@ugo2452]

je viens d'arriver apres un mois de permanence a Diego,la ville e joly,mai au niveau de service e de route un désastre,j'ai loue une 4L,ma je la utilisè seulement pour aller a la plage de Ramena,une vingtaine de kilomètre,je suis allez la bas pour fair visite a ma copine une de plus belle creature du Madagascar,autre chose le pire il ya du vent très forte même la nuit, horrible ,pendant l'atterrissage vous allez prier notre signeur...

[@btoball2]

Because they had to fight off the French government for their independence.

[@plouplou1136]

Of course who doesn't pride for their country??? You are not proud to be indonesian? As malagasy, we are very patriotisme we really like our country cause it's beautiful country you only see in the pictures but if you see it directly you can see how beautiful it is.

French & Malagasy. Most people in Diego Suarez speak French well, in the South & smaller towns you will find many people speaking only Malagasy.

How is the sewage and water system. Thanks

[@pddembowski]

It's like other countries in Africa. Need to boil water, sometimes there is no water for an hour or 2. Hot water depends on where you stay. In 2013 I was in Dakar, Senegal. A major water pipe burst and there was no water in the city for 2 weeks. Was not pleasant after a few days.

Yes it is. In Diego you will see quite a few French expats, very few speak English, none of the locals speak English. If I didn't speak decent French I don't think I would come here, maybe Nosy Be which has a lot of tourists.

Would somebody be interested to laungh a real "Express bus line" between mayor cities in Madagascar? I'll take part of it, I'll even take it's management; But the bus travels will cost the double from the "taxi brousse price" but I think that many persons are ready to pay it. Some 2nd hand busses from Europe (with a toilet on board!!) or elsewhere, a licence and it is lauched. I pay the first bus, who's up for the second? Malagasy have more money than you think but it's hidden under their sofa. Nobody wants to travel under their conditions, they are awful. I'd give a shit on saving some 10 bucks on a travel Ambilobe-Sambava, if only that bus would leave in time and offer some confort other than a wooden bench without backrest and I think that some 30-50% of the other passengers would have too. Nobody refuses some more confort.
