Tour Norte.

  I joined a bigger group led by Brilland for a land tour of Madagascar’s nature parks in the South, East and West. Everything was organised well and Brilland ensured our... read more needs were accommodated, including vegetarian food, search for a particular type of rum, searches for XXX lemurs etc. He took great care of us, arranging accommodation & transport quickly when some of the group fell ill and opted to stay out for an extra night of rest while the rest journeyed on. Even a vehicular breakdown didn’t stop us - we were a group of 10 on the road in the middle of hills and lush greenery at least an hour by car from the nearest town, but he got alternative transport to pick us up within 1.5hours. It was a fantastic trip overall! Madagascar is a beautiful country, with very friendly people and amazing bio-diversity!

  We toured Madagascar for 3 weeks with Madacartour and Brilland: Andasibe-Ankarafantsika-Katsepy-Sahamalaza. Brilland did an extraordinarily good job planning our trip, meeting all our very specific wishes and requirements - and... read more fixing it all with accommodations and guides when we got more and more delayed due to flight trouble. We ended up being 5 days delayed after we got stranded for days first in Cairo then in Addis Ababa and Brilland had to change all plans and bookings over and over, but he managed miraculously and we had a fantastic trip!
Through out the trip Brilland was always planning ahead, checking up, adjusting and managing so we had no trouble on the way. As well as being a very good planner and fixer Brilland also proved to be a very skilled driver, easily manoeuvring even the most difficult roads and knowing lots of them and every pothole by heart, bringing us safely - and yet quickly! - to every destination.
For the last leg of our journey we had another driver - also with brilliant driving skills as well as practical and solution oriented - and even from afar Brilland was pulling strings, checking up and managing whenever we met a bit of unforeseen trouble, making sure we were happy and always ready to help.
All my very best recommendations for Brilland and Madacartour!

  My buddy and I went to Madagascar for 2 weeks in early November (2022). About 3 weeks before our departure we contacted Bryan from Madacartour and gave him our rough... read more ideas. We were then in constant contact via WhatsApp and worked out the plan for our road trip together. We transferred 50% of the agreed amount as a deposit and paid the second half after completion. Our tour started in Ifaty, where Haja, our tour guide and driver, picked us up with the 4WD. Haja is a very special person, very attentive and friendly, with a great sense of humor and his heart is in the right place. He is also a very safe driver, skilfully dodging every pothole, even in the dark. He took us as a guide to all national parks for 8 days, showed us all the sights along the way and then drove us safely to the reserved accommodation in the evening. It was a lot of fun with Haja, which is extremely important when you spend so many hours in the car together. I can therefore give 5 of 5 stars to both: Bryan from Madacartour and Haja from Etiland Tour. To explain: Since Bryan could not do the tour with us because he was already scheduled, he provided the car, booked our domestic flights (from Antananarivo to Toliara) and reserved all accommodation on the route. The tour itself was carried out by Haja (from Etiland Tour), a friend of Bryan.
