The Best! - Dadamanga did a fantastic job organizing our long awaited tour of Madagascar. We weren't able to do what we had a originally planned pre-pandemic and they were great about... read more coming up with a plan at the last minute. We especially appreciate their patience dealing with multiple flight changes!
The trip Dadamanga planned for us was amazing. We really appreciated the different options for lemur viewing. The "natural" (national parks) setting was fun and challenging while the reserves allowed for closer observation of their natural behaviours. The reserves were well run with dedicated Malagasy staff. Thankfully, the animals were not encouraged to interact with the guests (e.g. feeding, petting, jumping on heads.)
Of course, Madagascar is much more than lemurs. We were blown away by the natural beauty and the variety from the rain forest of Mantadia, to teal blue Tritriva crater lake to colourful, rocky Isalo National Park to deep . Our drivers did a great job teaching us about Malagasy history and culture which made the long drives fly by. (And the bumpy roads weren't that bad!) The Malagasy are lovely, soft-spoken people, resourceful and rightfully proud of their beautiful land.
We can't recommend Dadamanga highly enough for making our trip to Madagascar so memorable.

Wonderful two weeks in Madagasacr - We had a two weeks trip in Madagascar visiting amongst others Ranamafana, Isalo, Anakao and Analamazaotra. Wonderful to discover so many interesting species of mammal, reptile, bird and plants... read more in the natural reserves, with local guides who really know their stuff.

Incredible 2.5 week tour - Dadamanga managed to organise an incredible tour for me and a friend with basically no notice, when we showed up in Madagascar with no plans. They were flexible, responsive, and... read more clear about what would and would not be possible at the time. Thanks to Dadamanga we visited some parts of the country that we would not have otherwise visited. The hotels were all great quality, and the local drivers and guides were excellent. I would highly recommend Dadamanga to anyone looking or support to travel in Madagascar.

The Dadamanga team was awesome from planning through to the whole trip. Brett, Urbain, and Huguette were really helpful and responsive running through many potential itineraries. Haja, Heri, Gideona, and... read more Natasha were amazing to travel with throughout Madagascar. We could have easily spent a lot more time with them gladly and hope to be back again.

Amazing trip - Dadamanga were able to plan and book a lengthy trip through Madagascar on very short notice. Not only that, the level of service and attention to detail were well beyond... read more my expectations!

Excellent multi day tour. Wonderful time. - I have recently returned from just over a 3 week tour with Dadamanga and enjoyed every minute. From first contact Brett and his team were very responsive . Before suggesting... read more a draft itinerary they clarified my priorities, what my highlights would be and where my budget lay. The proposed itinerary was very detailed with lots of tempting photos and easy links to proposed hotels so I could check them out rather than flogging through the internet or TA to find reviews and information. The itinerary also came with lots of incredibly helpful notes. I was in a position to compare Dadamanga with other Madagascar tour companies as I made first contact via Travellers' Quest though I had already benefitted from Brett's many helpful answers on the forum. Presentation and price were easily the best. Indeed the price was noticeably better by a long margin.
The itinerary covered everything I had asked for. In terms of hotel standards they were much much better than I thought they would be given my budget. Dadamanga were very patient in tweaking my itinerary until I was happy with it and responded to all enquiries promptly in a way that felt personal to me and not just standardised comments. All members of the team with whom I came into contact exhibited the same high standards . During the tour everything worked well with lots of variety and activity but equally some time to relax. Indeed it exceeded expectations.
I would not hesitate to recommend Dadamanga and thank them for making my time in Madagascar so wonderful.

Our driver Gideona was fantastic. A once-in-a-lifetime trip from a great group. We toured the East and had a great time. Will have to go back!

Best ever tour operator - Hard to believe that someone can be so helpful, flexible and so professional.
I found Brett on trip advisor as I discovered that he had posted more than 8000... read more replies helping people plan their trips.
Madagascar can be immensely confusing so after our initial research, we reached out to him for arranging a 4WD.
While interacting with him, we realised that it’s best to book the complete tour with him.
You should see his itinerary and the preparation guide that leaves nothing for ambiguity.
The resorts/hotels selected were the best ones in the town- in the middle of jungle, beach facing or the centre of a vibrant night life - somehow they also ensured that we get the best rooms in the hotels.
We have travelled a lot- but this journey was particularly made amazing thanks to Dadamanga and our driver cum guide and offline translator 😀 Valerio.
Special mention for Valerio - who was with us throughout the trip - he made sure that we are comfortable and safe at every step, including getting vegetarian meals.

Brett and Rado have organised this one-day trip in just a few hours. They were reactive, efficient and friendly. The trip was well organised and really interesting. The royal palace... read more is well worth the visit, and the Museum of Photography as well. The local guides and Rado were knowledgeable. And to top it all, we had an excellent Malagasy lunch at Haka Fy. Highly recommended.
