About Dadamanga

Unique travel experience planned by the Madagascar travel experts

Madagascar, expertly planned

Humpback whale

Dadamanga is a specialist Madagascar travel company designing carefully planned private journeys throughout Madagascar.

We create bespoke travel for clients who want more than just a holiday. Our clients value expert advice, realistic planning, and the confidence that comes from working with an experienced local team.

Madagascar is one of the world’s most extraordinary destinations—but it is not simple.

Distances are long, logistics can be challenging, and good planning matters. Designing a successful trip here requires deep local knowledge, realistic routing, and strong operational support.

That is where Dadamanga comes in.

The Team

Our team specialises in tailor-made private travel, carefully designing journeys around each client’s interests, timeframe, travel style, and budget. From focused short trips to complex multi-region itineraries, every journey is built with care, realism, and attention to detail.

Dadamanga was founded by Brett Massoud, an Australian entrepreneur who has lived and worked in Madagascar for more than 25 years.

Today, Dadamanga is far more than one individual. We are a dedicated team of travel designers, reservations specialists, operational staff, drivers, guides, and local partners working together to deliver exceptional travel experiences across Madagascar.

Clients choose Dadamanga because they value expertise, honesty, and dependable support.

If your priority is simply the cheapest way to travel, we may not be the right fit.

If your priority is a well-designed, professionally managed Madagascar journey, we would be pleased to help.

Social Responsibility

img 1 about

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.
