Indigenous people of Madagascar. Population of Madagascar: size, density, age and racial composition

Going on a trip to distant countries, many tourists are interested in the life there,. There are a lot of interesting facts about that that everyone who plans their vacation in this country should definitely know. Here is a unique flora and fauna, rich history, originating in ancient times.

Nature of Madagascar

The entire island is one state located in the Indian Ocean. It is often referred to as Africa, and geographically this is true. The most interesting facts about Madagascar are the following:

Historical interesting facts about the country of Madagascar

The first people appeared on the island more than 2000 years ago. During this historical period, local residents experienced a huge number of important events. The most interesting of them are the following:

1. The island was first discovered in the 16th century by the explorer Diego Diaz from Portugal. Since that time, Madagascar has been used as an important trading hub.
2. In 1896, the country was captured by the French, turning it into their colony. In 1946, the island began to be considered an overseas territory of the invaders.
3. In 1960, Madagascar gained independence and acquired complete freedom.
4. In 1990, Marxist rule ended here, and the veto on all opposition parties was lifted.
5. The peak of the royal mountain Ambohimanga is considered an important historical one on the island. This is a place of worship for the natives, which is a religious and cultural heritage of the state.

Ethnic interesting facts about Madagascar

The number of inhabitants in the country is almost 23 million people. All of them speak among themselves in official languages: French and Malagasy. The traditions and culture of the natives are quite multifaceted, the most interesting facts are:

It seems to me that before the cartoon "" was released on wide screens, no one had heard of this piece of paradise, under the same name. It was after the show of this cartoon that crowds of tourists rushed to this island, which raised the country's economy.

For us, as for Europeans, everything here is very cheap: the standard of living is low, there are many beggars and poor people. The resort areas of the island are more developed and, one might say, richer.

Even in the capital of this state Antananarivo there is absolutely nothing to see: no sights, no museums, no parks. Ugly and gloomy city, although very noisy. What can not be said about the color that he received thanks to the local population. You can imagine the standard of living of people if they can't even afford street newspapers that cost only $0.10. So people crowd around the kiosks, reading the headlines of the press in order to keep abreast of world events.

But, such a beautiful island, where there are wild reserves, waterfalls of extraordinary beauty, exotic flora and fauna, attracts tourists from all over the world in search of adventure, like the heroes of the aforementioned cartoon. Island almost the same size as Ukraine, washed on all sides by the waters of the Indian Ocean.

He is very unique. Only on this island you can easily meet funny striped lemurs, tame chameleons, marvel at the baobab giants, see strange people who observe some unusual prohibitions and worship the spirits of the dead. Pack your bags and go!

TRANSPORT IN MADAGASCAR

Our first acquaintance with the island begins with the airport, although all the most interesting is far beyond its borders. On the coast can be reached by a tourist bus, with a ticket price of $ 4, and you can also get there by minibus for $0.18. There are no transport stops in the city itself, so any minibus will stop where you specify. Together with the driver of the minibus, there is a person who at each stop notifies travelers about the route and the availability of seats.

ACCOMMODATION ON THE ISLAND

With housing, especially with its cost, there will be no problems at all, because. it's very cheap here. So, for example, get ready to lay out everything $10-12 for a two- or three-star hotel. A bungalow costs $5 per day.. The price, as you can see, is acceptable, and the services in the room are also not bad: a room with a fan and with all amenities. Some hotels have WI-FI.

WHAT TO EAT IN MADAGASCAR

Previously, the French lived on the territory of this island, therefore, much of the food is prepared in the French style. Baking is popular baguette. It, as in Europe, is used in different forms: as pastries, as fried croutons or as crackers.

Well, in exotic Madagascar has no equal. After all, Madagascarians consume in the stomach everything that moves;) And most importantly, they eat everything raw. What cannot be eaten alive, they salt and fry. In the street catering menu, you can see exotic seafood, various fried beetles, plant leaves, such as aloe.

Of course, for us Europeans, such food is not at all desirable and even dangerous. Especially if you eat it daily. Therefore, it is better not to risk it and enjoy the classic food on the island. It's not expensive at all. A serving of rice will set you back $2, a plate of seafood $10 and cheap fruit.. While on the island, remember this rule: long queues at catering establishments - delicious food!

WHAT TO SEE ON THE ISLAND

As we already mentioned, there are no attractions on the island. Here alone the main attraction is nature and its inhabitants. We advise you to visit Andringitra. This is a magnificent park of lemurs, the territory of which is more than 30 thousand hectares. It is when traveling through this park that you can feel like one of the heroes of the famous cartoon.

You will forever remember the beauty of this National Park with its exotic vegetation, colorful huge flowering shrubs, and simply bright flowers, and you can also hear unrealistic mystical stories from the local population. The entrance fee to the park is $12. The only thing that can be advised is not to save on the guide ($10). Otherwise, you will have to spend the night in the company of bizarre lemurs, getting lost in the park.

SOMETHING ABOUT LEMURES

As you know, lemurs are symbol of Madagascar. Among the most unique are indri lemurs, singing lemurs (although it is very difficult to call them singing, because they scream loudly). In addition, they are also considered sacred animals here. The locals say that the spirit of their ancestors lives in them. These lemurs are very large, about 6 kg in weight. And you can meet them in eastern Madagascar, in mountain forests. They are vegetarians. They prefer leaves, flowers and fruits.

HOW TO KNOW THE COUNTRY BEST

Do you know what is the best way to get to know the country? These are walks. It does not matter: on foot, on a moped or bicycle, or in a rented car. You need to walk a lot! Here in Madagascar, the best way to travel is hitch-hiking. Of course, this is not the most popular way here. But, we, "white-skinned people" are always welcome here, because. locals know that if a European comes, he always has money.

INDIGENOUS POPULATION OF MADAGASCAR

The people themselves are very kind and welcoming. After all, the population is very poor and has not yet been spoiled by money. People worship the spirits of their ancestors, believe in them, perform various rituals, especially those related to sacrifices, honor their traditions. There are settlements on the island, according to the laws of which there are many taboos: a ban on strangers in the house, entry into the room where the sister lives is also prohibited, and most importantly, it is forbidden to kill lemurs on the island.

This is an island where there are two worlds - rich and poor. For us, tourists, this is first of all a unique paradise, with amazing bungalows, impenetrable jungle, with a crystal blue shore indian ocean and such exotic cuisine. Yes, the climate here is such that you will get tired of stuffiness and heat. But the color of the country, its population and lemurs will be remembered by you for the rest of your life.
