Madagascar is an intriguing destination for some Norwegian travelers, thanks to its rich biodiversity and unique cultural heritage. Although it ranks modestly in global tourism, recent trends indicate growing interest. With 1.7 million Norwegians traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Madagascar appealing.
Madagascar is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, ranked 43rd out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index. However, it does not match Norway's safety level, which ranks 28th. While specific crime data for Madagascar is limited, Norway has a very low murder rate of 0.5 per 100,000 people, whereas Madagascar's statistics are not available. In terms of organized crime, Norway scores better across various categories, with indices indicating lower levels of mafia presence, crime networks, and state crime compared to Madagascar. For example, Norway's state crime index is 2.0, while Madagascar's is significantly higher at 7.5. Tourists from Norway should exercise standard precautions when traveling to Madagascar, as the safety environment differs from their home country.
