Madagascar eSIM for city and island stays

Compare Madagascar eSIM plans for Antananarivo, Nosy Be or Fort Dauphin by trip length, data use and every territory visited.

A Madagascar trip may stay in the capital, focus on Nosy Be in the northwest, or use a separately booked base at Fort Dauphin in the southeast. Save the Antananarivo entrance and arrival contact, keep Nosy Be accommodation with arranged outing details, and record the Fort Dauphin pickup and lodging separately. These are distinct trip shapes, and every transfer day counts toward validity.

How eSIM works in Madagascar

Install the eSIM on reliable Wi-Fi before departure and save the instructions with the first booking. Leave the line off until Madagascar, then select Horizon for mobile data and enable roaming on that line. Check Madagascar validity: it begins with the first successful supported-network connection there. The Madagascar plan from Horizon is data-only and has no local number. A compatible dual-SIM phone may keep the home SIM, but its provider can charge for that line.

  1. Buy a plan

    Pick a destination, data allowance and validity period.

  2. Install your eSIM

    Scan the QR or auto-install in the app — no physical SIM.

  3. Land & connect

    Data activates on first connection at your destination.

Size it to your trip

Pick the profile closest to your trip. The estimate assumes normal use — maps, messaging, photos, a short call home.

As a rule of thumb, a 3–4 day city break runs on about 1–3 GB, a one-week trip on 3–5 GB, a two-week multi-country tour on 8–12 GB, and working on the road takes about 1 GB a day, so 15 GB or more for two weeks.

In total, a 1 GB data allowance covers roughly 330 shared photos, 17 hours of social media and browsing, 2.9 hours of video calls, 13 hours of music streaming, or about 200 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.

Important cities in Madagascar

Antananarivo · City guide

Antananarivo

Antananarivo is Madagascar's capital and can be the sole base for a city stay. Save the accommodation entrance, arrival contact and next appointment together. For a later move to Nosy Be or Fort Dauphin, create a new set of local details.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose for Antananarivo or Nosy Be?

For Antananarivo, count address messages, appointments and maps. For Nosy Be, add every island night, photo uploads and shared devices, then compare current plans without assuming a large allowance.

What should I save before changing bases?

Save the next accommodation entrance, arrival contact, transfer details and essential bookings offline. Use a new set for Nosy Be or Fort Dauphin instead of mixing it with Antananarivo.

What if my booking is in Fort Dauphin?

Save the Fort Dauphin pickup, lodging entrance and local contact as a separate arrival. Include its nights and transfers in validity, keeping that booking apart from the capital or Nosy Be.

Can I share data with a companion?

Yes. Personal hotspot with the Madagascar plan is free, and Horizon does not throttle it. A compatible phone is required; the phone and a companion's device share the plan allowance.

Does the plan include Mauritius or Réunion?

No. This Madagascar plan does not include Mauritius or Réunion. Choose a separate suitable plan for either territory and check other countries in the current destination list.

Does Madagascar eligibility promise every island connection?

No. A Madagascar listing does not promise reception on every island, beach, boat or excursion. Save each accommodation, meeting point and return booking offline before leaving.
