MADA EXPEDITIONS
Your local travel agency in Madagascar
The main asset of »Mada Expédition” it’s these women and men that work together to share their passion for your sensitive journey in Madagascar, off the beaten track.
Incoming tour operator, »Mada Expédition » is a « human sized agency » based 22 km west of Antananarivo. We offer you our expertise of all parts of our country for your program « à la carte » which is a customized trip.
This web site presents a large pallet of different trips in the most beautiful areas of our island of predilections : Madagascar.
Our team consists of an administrative – logistical “staff” in the headquarter and « field agents” whose job is to lead, guide, translate, drive, carry, explain and even cook for you. We have combined their expertise to the traveller’s service for a tailor-made trip, fitting your expectations.
Our regular tours, just like our tailor-made itineraries, are focused on discovery, exploration that combine the host’s respect with discovering specific cultures, punctuated by an inviting spirit of adventure. Our credo is to narrow the distance between the traveller and the field, for you to make the most out of your experience: with well-crafted itineraries, a travel diary delivered before departure, and our responsiveness in case of unforeseen events.
For each trip of those who choose us to be “responsible” and “sustainable”. To share the landscapes that enchant us, and meetings that nourish the hope of a shared and equitable future … and that is the soul of Madagascar, an hope for future !
OUR VALUES AND ETHICS
Ecotourism
Our country is fragile, Freshwater resources are often scarce, western showers devour water…
Fossil energy is expensive and polluting, we prefer solar. The size of our accommodation (limited to 16 guests) is a guarantee of integration so as not to disturb the local life that you wish to discover.
Trigger meetings with the locals
Our most beautiful mission : facilitate your contact with the locals, your meeting with remarkable people that will enchant your trip.
Find the unusual
To offer you the best of Mada, that is our ambition! Yes, but we are looking for every detail that enriches your trip and feeds your curiosity. No routine or “common places” in our programs which are continuously improved by “feedback” from the field.
Our passion: to share!
Offer our local expertise
By contacting us to travel to Madagascar, you are sure to have recourse to a team that goes to the field and constantly updates tours, visits and contacts. Our publications on the web (blog) and on Facebook bear witness to this…

Garantee your security
With our guides and drivers, you avoid the misadventures of the “backpackers” who engage head down, for a few hundred euros in savings, with crooks pretended to be guides and drivers: the discussion forums then regularly feed their sobs… but a little late!
On the road with us, we are available for you 7/7 and H24!
OUR TEAM
A “zanatany” born on the big island in 1955, who grew up there discovering the language, culture and customs: “small in size, adapted to the environment, and resistant to hardship”. Entrepreneur in France for 35 years, he brings back investment, expertise in management, business management and ecotourism for a “transfer of skills” for the benefit of his native land and his adopted people.
