Tantely organizes a great day trip to Nosy Iranja and back. She speaks good English and answered all of our questions. She was able to have us picked up and returned to our resort on Nosy Sakatia. Her staff is polite and reliable. The boat was safe too. Lunch was a huge feast of seafood. Water and towels are included as well.

I would thoroughly recommend Dadamanga for any trips in Madagascar. I was initially impressed by how much Brett helps people on the forum boards regardless of whether they book with him or not. After getting a few quotes we decided to go with Dadamanga due to their knowledge & Bretts helpfulness on TA and we booked a 3 week itinerary. I was highly impressed but their speed, responses, willingness to adjust the itinerary and overall communication. The tour was fantastic and it was reassuring to know we had the team available if we needed them. Roberto met us at the airport and helped us getting a SIM card for the phone, and then the following day we met Aina and Angelo who accompanied us for the trip. Both Aina (tour guide) and Angelo (driver) were fantastic, they knew when to let us sleep and relax in the car and when to talk to us and give us facts. They were always smiling and willing to help. The hotels and arrangements all went smoothly which i think is pretty amazing for Madagascar where anything can happen! The driving times were all longer than we expected and something to be aware of, but the scenery along the way is great. Towards the end of the trip I think the travelling and food caught up with me and I felt very unwell and wasn't sure what to do, Brett was able to offer some options and it was very reassuring to know that the Dadamanga team were there.

You are picked up at your hotel in Antananarivo (Tana) in the morning and begin the beautiful drive east through National Route 2 on this shared tour. This region of Madagascar is characterized by its wet climate, thanks to the dense, beautiful and biodiverse rainforest within. Crossing staggering landscapes dotted with traditional houses and myriad small villages, the road today gives a feel for the traditional lifestyle of the Malagasy people. The tour will pass by abundant rice paddies, chimney-less long clay red houses, and thousands of roadside markets displaying a variety of handicrafts. You will also see the endemic and tasty Mada-only fruit, as well as organic free-range meat markets. You will arrive in Andasibe in the late morning. Later, a visit to Vakona private park.

Inclusions: Fuel surcharge, National Park fees, All activities, Driver/guide, Local guide, Hotel/airport pickup and drop-off from any hotel in the capital, Transportation between sites and ranges of the forest in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. There is no wifi connection., Lunch

Exclusions: Gratuities

My guide Edilson, was good. He knows the history of the places we visited, but the structure of the tour and service is way too low for this price. You can get a Ballon ride in Bagan for US$300! So, the mean of transportation is tuk-tuk, which is a surprise because it is not mentioned in the description. Of course, using slow transportation means you cannot quickly reach different places. I did not get bottled water, although it is the tour description. I tried exactly three exotic fruits in the market. Better do not ask about hygene! I got a lunch (though tasty!) in a very mediockre lunch place. I visited Fortress, one Art exhibition, park, an inyard of museum and I saw from a distance two churches ,and visited a handicraft market and French Culture center. In comparison: a guided walking tour (3 hours) in Bruklyn to visit around 60+ murals costed US$20. A walking tour in Kyiv (3,5 hours) to see architecture pearls costed US$20 per person.

Dadamanga Travel Service

Today we offer you a day trip to two palaces. The Ambohimanga Rova is a half day-trip out of Antananarivo. It was the home of the first Malagasy king to unite the nation, King Andrianampoinimerina. It’s a fascinating story of murders and conquering and intrigue, the local guides are skilled at telling the story in many languages, and the scenery is very special. The palace was used as a holiday home by subsequent members of the royal family until the last queen was exiled by the French colonial power and some interesting artefacts remain. Return back to Tana for lunch overlooking the city, and after lunch visit to Palace number 2, the Rova Manjakamiadana… This palace was home to the royal family until exile. It was burned in a politically motivated arson attack in 1995 and is under renovation, nevertheless it is a fascinating story, in an amazing position, with incredible views around the city and rice fields as far as the eye can see.

Inclusions: Lunch at the Grill du Rova, close to the palace, overlooking Antananarivo., All entries and obligatory local guide fees are included in your tour., One 1.5 litre bottle of water is provided for each client

Exclusions: Gratuities, We do not include snacks or personal purchases
