Madagascar at its best

  Thoughtful and professional - Dadamanga designed a fantastic custom itinerary based on our wishes and preferences. The itinerary they sent us is very professional and included descriptions of the hotels and national parks. They... read more also provided a wealth of material on what to expect and how to prepare, such as details about tipping, local customs, weather, personal safety, and more.

Madagascar can be a challenging country even for seasoned travelers, so it's comforting to have expert local guides and experienced drivers for each leg of the journey. On our third hour of a super long drive on a very bumpy and rural road, we asked our guide what would happen if the car broke down. He told us the lengths the company would go to to get a replacement car to us, and it was reassuring to hear.

We had an amazing trip, and everything went super smoothly, largely thanks to great planning and professionalism from Dadamanga.

  Great tour organizer - Dadamanga was excellent to work with both during planning and execution of our 3 week trip across Madagaskar. Their suggestions gor things to see/do, their sttention to detail and... read more their follow up during the trop was quite impressive. Two thumbs up!!

  Excellent Adventure - We had such a great time and I attribute a lot of this to Dadamanga. From the very beginning of the trip, all aspects were taken care of including... read more logistics. The food was amazing, the lodging was top notch, and the transfers handled by Dadamanga went incredibly smoothly. The two guides we had were very knowledgeable about all things Madagascar and our driver was fantastic! I traveled solo for three days and everything went better than planned. Even before the trip, all questions/concerns were immediately answered/addressed (handling of food allergies, travel insurance, and information provided on the itinerary). If ever planning a trip to Madagascar again, I will definitely use Dadamanga.

  Seamless trip - We recently finished a two week tour with Dadamanga and we couldn't be happier with our decision. From beginning to end our trip was seamless. Everything was so well organized,... read more we both said how nice it was to just be able to enjoy the trip without having to worry about any of the planning. The entire team is wonderful, but I'd like to mention a few names who really made our trip:
Christophe created our itinerary and was very prompt in responding to any questions I had before the trip.
Tsiory was our driver/guide for most of the two weeks. He is incredibly knowledgeable about his country and his love for Madagascar is evident. We really enjoyed his company, the trip wouldn't have been the same without him. He made sure we were well taken care of every step of the way.
Fano was our driver/guide for our first day in Tana and the end of our trip in Andasibe. Like Tsiory, it is clear he is very passionate about Madagascar and full of knowledge. He took great care of us at the beginning and end of our trip.
Brett, the owner, is always available and present when he needs to be. Very communicative and wants to be sure everything runs smoothly, which it does!

** Ten days into our trip I became ill and the Dadamanga team was so swift in shuffling around our itinerary and getting me a plane back to the capital within hours. I was so grateful***

We highly recommend Dadamanga to anyone planning a trip to Madagascar. They are truly excellent.

  Trip of a lifetime made easy! - Had a seamless and amazing experience from start to finish thanks to the folks at Dadamanga. Even before the trip, they helped me customize my tour and make changes to... read more the itinerary later on when some plans changed. The hotels that I stayed at were all clean, safe, and had very friendly staff and the local guides were fantastic. My drivers were all professional. I had an especially good experience with my driver, Ravo, who accompanied me for the majority of the trip. He was like having an extra guide who explained Malagasy culture, various geographic topics as we passed varying landscapes, and provided excellent food recommendations. I did the East, West, and part of the South - cannot wait to go back and explore the rest.

  Flawless trip with Dadamanga - Our entire trip to Madagascar was wonderful and went just as planned with the help of multiple people involved in your organization. The only problem started the minute we arrived... read more with our luggage still sitting in Paris. This no longer became my problem as immediately Roberto took the responsibility of dealing with the airlines and making sure our bag was delivered to our hotel within 12 hours of its arrival into Tana. The efficiency of the staff is remarkable.
We had multiple guides and drivers all of which were professional, knowledgeable, and very helpful in our times of need. I can not thank DiDi enough for our safe passage along the way and his concern for me while I was having a bad health day. Roxie is one of the smartest people I know as his skills not only covered the mammals and plants of his country but reptiles and insects as well. He also noticed my struggle to get a good photo of the Sifaka Lemur so I handed my phone to him and off he went. When he returned my phone it was full of beautiful pictures and videos of these marvelous creatures making it possible for me to just enjoy the site of them. Truly made my day. Eristor was also a great guide telling us stories and folk lore of his country. He also was very helpful and compassionate when another member of our family needed help on a not feeling good day. Our last guide John we only had for one day and he took us on a short tour of the Queens Palace in Tana. He also was a wealth of information about the history of Madagascar. An enormous thank you to you all!
To anyone considering traveling to Madagascar I can highly recommend using Dadamanga to plan your trip. Our daughter found this company told them everything she wanted to see and they put together the itinerary for us. We were told that if something went wrong this company could immediately find a way to make it right. Well, we never had anything go wrong. The company is in constant contact with you through a group WhatsApp chat. Any time of day or night if you have a question you can send a message and within a minute someone gets back to you. The attention to detail is impeccable.
Thank you to all involved in making this a trip to remember!
