Our story and our team

Born from the fusion of four Italians

Born from the fusion of four Italians passionate about travel and Africa, Madaway came to life in 2007 in northern Madagascar, in Antsiranana (Diego-Suarez). Thanks to the efforts of a highly motivated team, Madaway expanded to better cover the whole island, settling on Nosy Be island and later in the capital, Antananarivo.

Dynamic, professional, experienced, the team will do everything to satisfy you and guarantee a worry-free journey. Beyond showing you this country's beauty, they will share their unwavering passion for Madagascar, inviting you to soak up its cultures, traditions, cuisine, colours and smiles.
