Exceptional service and care - they are truly worthy of their 5-star reputation!
5/5

When planning our travels, we always use local tour operators. For Madagascar, we chose ComeToMada, which turned out to be an excellent choice. They helped us plan our 16-day trip and organised every single detail, including the cars, guides, local flights, accommodation and all extra activities we requested. It is worth noting that planning a trip through Madagascar is challenging since the infrastructure is quite poor. Nevertheless, Sanda organised everything perfectly.

But not only that. During out trip Sanda checked every day with our guides if everything was fine. In the event of any issues, he reacted immediately. Things can go wrong during every trip but on Madagascar they are quite common due to the underdeveloped tourism industry and poor infrastructure, Therefore, having a reliable tour operator is crucial. When our car experienced problems with engine cooling system, a new car has been provided. When Madagascar Airlines cancelled our domestic flight, Sanda managed to rebook our tickets and adjusted the itinerary so that we could still do all the planned activities. We knew all the time that we were well looked after.

When I had seen the 5.0 rating for ComeToMada on Tripadvisor, I thought “too good to be true”. But now I understand where it comes from, and I know this rating is fully deserved. I award them 5 star here on SafariBookings and strongly recommend them to anyone who wants to experience the real Madagascar.

Go and see Madagascar with comeTo.mada
5/5

"Traveling through Madagascar is both exciting and a little difficult. So I decided to let someone "from the inside" to plan and organize our trip - 2 weeks. Ana it was the best decision. Not only the itinerary was interesting, but everything was smoothly planned. And our guide, Sanda is the nicest person ever! Very good English as well.
And since I mostly organize my trips myself it was important to me to be able to participate in planning process and the company was more than understanding with that. So if anyone is thinking about Madagascar, I suggest to do it with a company and I truly recommend to choose comeTo.mada"

If an ordinary vacation trip is not enough for you!
5/5

Two weeks solo, exploring the daily life of malagasy people. Sanda Rasamuel is not only an expert guide (with a plan B alway ready in case something goes wrong), but he's in love with his own country, and you can feel it every moment of your trip. Do not miss the opportunity to paddle down the river Tsiribihina on a wooden pirogue and taste the genuine life end smiling hospitality of remote villages, visit nature reserves looking for lemurs and chameleons, explore cities and markets on a pedal rikshaw or a crowded local bus. Totally recommended.

engagiert, organisiert, sympathisch
5/5

Auf 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!

Truly amazing experience
5/5

Over 3 weeks spent traveling through Madagascar with Sanda and his colleague (Luv) went by in a flash. I travel a lot, but this was probably the first time I didn't have to worry about anything. Everything was planned down to the last detail.

At first I was very apprehensive about spending so much time with a guide. However, the incredibly friendly and easygoing nature of Sanda and Luv made me forget about my fears completely. By the way, they are incredibly humble and honest people, which is apparently not always the standard among guides.

I recommend them 100%
