Dadamanga: The 5-star Madagascar tour company chosen by you

  Reliable and Responsive - Brett is a wealth of knowledge of Madagascar, totally putting me at ease with his advice and experience. He and his team are efficient and respond quickly to dispel any... read more fears that you might have about transferring your money to an account in Africa. The tours are customisable depending on available time and clearly set out in an itinerary. They welcome customers to tweak their trips and build that into the itinerary for a bespoke service. Whilst speaking to other travellers and drivers there, Dadmanga's prices are on the more expensive end but you do get the service to match along with reliable vehicles and an English-speaking driver who is constantly by your side. Important factors when visiting Madagascar (a real diamond in the rough).

  Fantastic company and amazing travel experience - 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.

  Awesome company - don't hesitate to book your Madagascar trip with them  - When planning our 18-day trip to Madagascar, we soon realised that it was not something we could readily do ourselves as first-time travellers to the country from the UK. We... read more came across Brett through the many examples of advice he had offered on several travel discussion forums about Madagascar (TripAdvisor, Reddit etc.), demonstrating that he was clearly both experienced and knowledgeable. We contacted Dadamanga and outlined what we were looking to do (a trip to the east and north with a focus on wildlife) using their comprehensive online registration form. The itinerary they came back with was amazing – it ticked every box for us and they were flexible to changes to make sure it fitted what we wanted perfectly. The communication with the team was exceptional and we felt fully supported both in the organisation and throughout the duration of our trip. Our journey through Madagascar was truly incredible – we had the very best guides and drivers (do not attempt to self-drive!), the itinerary exceeded our expectations and the team were there to meet and support us every step of the way. We could not recommend them highly enough and definitely could not have done it without the brilliant, friendly and talented local guides (without whom we would have missed so much), the skilled drivers and the amazing support team who made sure we got the very best out of our stay. Thanks so much Dadamanga for making it the trip of a lifetime!

  A really fantastic tour of wonderful Madagascar! - We've just returned from a superb trip in Madagascar organised by Dadamanga. From the first contact I knew we were in safe hands. The planning of the itinerary, the... read more ease of making a payment, the airport transfers, the marvellous local drivers and the sights we saw were all perfect.

During our week long tour, we visited national parks, got to see some of the unique wildlife, experienced some of the delicious local food, walk around the quirky capital city of Antananarivo and got to experience the avenue of the baobabs at both sunset and sunrise. Brilliant!

If you are looking for a tour agency in Madagascar I highly recommend Dadamanga.

  Great way to discover Madagascar with the kids - We book a family tour with kids (8 and 9). We went did Antananarivo, Baobab alley, Kirindy, Kivalo and Antasibe. Everything was perfect. The guides were very kind and professionnal,... read more all the accomodations booked were amazing. The whole family had a great time. The organization was flawless, we highly recommend !

  Excellent trip planning and great guides  - The planning of our trip to Madagascar was excellent. We liked the proposed hotels a lot. Changes in flight schedules were proactively managed.
The guides and drivers were excellent.... read more We received a warm welcome from Roberto.
It was a pleasure to have the company of Nirina in the South. He shared his knowledge about the country, the customs and the fauna and flora. Always kind and respectful.
In the East and the capital city we learned a lot more from Herijaona.
Besides some stomach issues we had a wonderful trip.

  A 5/5 trip in fascinating beautiful Madagascar - Touring around some of Madagascar with Dadamanga was so good a few years ago I just had to do it again!

From Tana we went west to Miandrivazo, Morandavo,... read more and Kirindy. That drive is long and arduous and absolutely stunning! We both agreed that it was the highlight of the trip. The landscape is gorgeous, the different villages and peoples are so interesting, and the drive is a 'do not miss'. The Baobab alley is spectacular, and the dry forest of Kirindy is so different to the rainforest parks later in the trip. And, we did see the Fossa! Much to my husband's delight.

After we repeated the long drive and stayed at Tana for one night we went East to Peyrieras Reptile park to view the variety of chameleons and other animals. We went to Mantadia N.P. and Analmazatroa N.P. and Mitsinjo reserve for day walks and night walks. We saw a variety of lemurs and even a Satanic Gecko. The rainforest in all places is absolutely beautiful.

We then went further East to The Palmarium via a really bad rough pot-holed road, then a lovely speed boat ride through beautiful scenery. The lemurs at The Palmarium are semi-domesticated and quite friendly at times. It is terrific to see them up so close, and so many different species, which is both 'good' and 'bad'. Seeing a tiny day old lemur was so cute. And seeing the Aye Aye so close was amazing - and again, 'good' and 'bad' that they are in semi-captivity on an island.

Brett and all the people involved in planning and executing our trip get our big THANKS!

Rado is the most careful driver, a person who is very informative about everything we saw and about the country, and great company too! He was so good on my first trip with my adult daughter I specifically asked Brett if he could be our driver again.

I cannot recommend Dadamanga Tours highly enough! And Madagascar as well.

  Madagascar full circuit made possible by Dadamanga. Thank you! - We had two weeks to see Madagascar. After a lot of independent research, we put together a trip that was pretty intense: Morondava, Kirindy, Tsingy, Belo sur Mer, Morombe, Ankasy,... read more Tulear, Ranohira, Andringitra, Ranomafana, Antsirabe, Andasibe and back to Tana. Dadamanga made the trip possible. Pre-trip organisation and info was excellent, our driver guide Theo was fantastic and went above and beyond getting us round the country, and the background admin and support during the trip helped it go well (preempting food allergy issues, sorting hotel problems etc.). Having travelled independently around 70+ countries, we couldn't have got round the route ourselves; but Dadamanga did and with a smile and good value. Thank you!!
