5.0/5Auf unserer 15 tägigen Tour von Antananarivo bis Ifaty durften wir die Vielseitigkeit Madagaskars in vollen Zügen erleben. Die Tour Richtung Westen startete in der Hauptstadt Antananarivo. Via Taxibus, Boot und 4WD reisten wir Richtung Südwesten und sahen dabei wunderschöne Landschaften, Reisfelder, belebte Märkte, freilebende Tiere und die unterschiedlichen Lebensweisen der einheimischen Menschen. Das Highlight der Tour war für uns die 2 tägige Bootstour in einem der landestypische Pirogues und das Zelten entlang des Flusses. Hier haben wir uns besonders über die tollen Gerichte gefreut, die Samu und sein Team auf dem schmalen Boot für uns gezaubert haben. Da es auf Madagaskar nur wenig asphaltierte Straßen gibt, legten wir den größten Teil der Strecke mit dem Allradwagen zurück. Durch den Zustand der Straßen konnte die Reise hier schonmal holprig werden. Ziele wie der Tsingy National Park waren den Weg aber auf jeden Fall wert. Die Unterkünfte während der Tour reichten von malagassischen Hütten mit Strohdach bis zum Resort mit Pool. WLAN war aufgrund der Lage eher selten vorhanden. Samuel ist ein sehr offener und kommunikativer Mensch, der großen Spaß daran hatte uns sein Land, die verschiedenen Kulturen, Lebensweisen, Tier- und Pflanzenarten näher zu bringen. Er war generell immer sehr darum bemüht, dass es uns gut geht und wir zufrieden sind. Auch als unser Auto eine Panne hatte, behielt Samu einen kühlen Kopf und organisierte uns spontan einen öffentlichen Taxibus, der uns dann zum Ziel brachte. Nach Ende der Tour, war er weiterhin Ansprechpartner und organisierte für uns ein Schnorchelerlebnis sowie den Transport zum Flughafen Toliara. Wir würden uns auf jeden Fall nochmal für Samu entscheiden! Misaotra!

Planning travel to Madagascar can be overwhelming and I was so thrilled to connect with Sanda. He helped me create the perfect itinerary with flexibility and seamlessness. He was totally accommodating, which is an amazing quality when navigating a destination like Madagascar. We were pleased to meet him at the airport and spend a few hours together before we met Angelo, our guide for the trip. Angelo was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He made sure we fit everything in we wanted to see and do, and we enjoyed every minute of his company. His above and beyond efforts for things big and small were appreciated and will never be forgotten. I must add that we had an incredible driver, Nina (oh, I hope that's the correct spelling!) I can't emphasize enough the importance of your driver in Madagascar; roads are a challenge and travel times are long. It takes special skill and focus; Nina was outstanding. Thank you for keeping us safe and comfortable at all times. We are treasuring our memories of beautiful baobabs and lemurs, lovely beaches, wonderful food and people. And most importantly, the great level of care we experienced from Angelo and Sanda at Come to Mada. I highly recommend them.

2 wonderful week trip from Antananarivo to Anakao together with the impeccable guide Sanda, courteous and very knowledgeable about the history and culture of his country, he speaks English, French and Spanish, we also requested an Italian-speaking guide who was immediately welcomed, she came with us Zo (perfect Italian) beautiful person and also very knowledgeable. They guided us through magnificent landscapes completely different from each other, a succession of exciting and experiences. We learned about the flora and fauna in the different parks visited, the local craftsmanship and the hard daily life of the Malagasy people. The icing on the cake were the days spent in Anakao, STUNNING! The hotels and restaurants booked by the agency were all of good quality and excellent food, Sanda was able to resolve all our problems quickly and promptly. Highly recommended.

We highly recommend touring with Come To Madagascar! We did a 13-day tour, and our main focus was on seeing lemurs, wildlife, and unique landscapes — Come to Madagascar definitely delivered. The highlights of our tour were taking a boat down the Tsiribina river (we chose the bigger boat, not pirogue) and visiting the Tsingy de Bemaraha. Before we booked, Sanda and his team worked with us to adapt our tour so we could get in the stops we wanted. While in Madagascar we traveled with Sanda, and he and the team were always looking out for us and went above and beyond to ensure our time was enjoyable. Sanda is super knowledgeable about the plants, animals, culture, and history of Madagascar, making for enjoyable and educational travel between and at the sites. He also vetted the local guides in national parks to ensure they spoke English well, ensured we could find food that suits our dietary restrictions, made sure all our lodgings (we went for the mid-tier option) were comfortable, and even worked hard to find us a last-minute flight back to Antananarivo. Even when things went differently than expected (which is just part of the Madagascar experience), we felt like we were in great hands and everything always got sorted out smoothly. Come to Madagascar works with a great set of people, and we’d tour with them again in a heartbeat!
