Ethical Tourism
At Dadamanga, we believe in exploring Madagascar with respect — in a way that is both environmentally and socially responsible.
We’re proud to have been selected as a Top Member of The Code for 2025 — a reflection of our ongoing and genuine commitment to sustainable tourism, with child protection at the heart of everything we do.
As a member of the Lemur Conservation Network, Dadamanga is committed to upholding sustainable practices and responsible travel in Madagascar. Check out their article on the importance of ecotourism in Madagascar for some great tips to be a responsible ecotourist in Madagascar.
Social Responsibility
We make contributions to multiple projects across Madagascar every year, including planting public gardens, supporting local environmental groups, and a partnership with Nofy i Androy that we are particularly proud of. This NGO is doing vital work in southern Madagascar, championing girls’ education and combating early marriage. For every sale we make, Dadamanga donates $10 from our commission earned directly to support their programs, paid twice yearly.
Every year, most companies measure their performance by the profit they made. At Dadamanga, of course, we aim to make a profit, we are after all a professional tour operator company. But each year, we strive not only to generate profit, we also strive to measure how we have contributed to the environment and to the people. These are the “three P’s” of Triple Bottom Line Management; Profit, Planet, People.
