About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- chrismP2165PP0 contributionsGreat Trip!Had a really great trip with Sammy. Drove from Toliara to Antananarivo over 2 weeks with him as our driver. He was an excellent driver and helped us with planning our trip and getting guides and knowing spots for birds. Would highly recommend this company if you need a driver.Written 1 September 2024
- tatianapE3166VQ0 contributionsFantastic honeymoonWhat a fantastic honeymoon we had! Tito was very responsive and helped us with any question prior to the travel. Fanilo was the one who was with us through the whole stay in Madagascar and it couldn’t have been better! He is literally always with smile (even when unexpected traffic came up and we had to wait for some time). A lot of driving from Tana to Morondava and Tsyngy but all those places were worth it! Definitely recommend this company for your adventure!Written 16 July 2024

My husband and I had an amazing 8-day trip with Mada Diary Tour, exploring the descent of the Tsiribihina by canoe and the spectacular Tsingy of Bemaraha.
The sunsets in the baobab aisle were magical and unforgettable.
Starting from Tana and ending in Morondava, the organization and kindness of the team made this circuit perfectly fluid and enjoyable.
We highly recommend Mada Diary Tour to discover the wild beauty of Madagascar!

We had an exceptional experience thanks to Mada Diary Tour, who carved us a tailor-made itinerary of 3 weeks. Several agencies contacted but only Tita offered us this itinerary complete and really adapted to all our desires, at an Award more than correct compared to the other offers received.
Thank you Tita, our first Guide who also defined all the steps of our journey, for the impeccable organization and shared knowledge to make us discover his country. Thanks also to Baggio, unparalleled driver on the slopes and DJ at the top, and Miary, our adorable Guide exuding good humor and ungluable on his region, with whom we shared the second part of the stay. And thank you to the Malagasy people, warm, generous, courageous, and much more... who welcomed us with kindness.
It was an incredible experience, both because of human encounters and because of the discovery of unique landscapes, fauna and flora.
I recommend 2000%!

C était fantastique, René Bernis , notre guide et son équipe ont bien assuré nous n étions pas rassuré au début mais rapidement moi et mes 3 camarades avons pris confiance dans les embarcations et il faut le faire c est trop dépaysant. La rivière, la cascade ou l on va se baigner la beauté des paysages les villageoises qui se lavent dans le fleuve en lavant le linge.
Et puis les strings de Bemarah, difficile à atteindre avec lés pluie mais quelle récompense.
Merci Bernis de nous avoir entraîner dans cette aventure, je laisse tes coordonnées, car tu mérites d être connue.
