After reading all the guide books, we had decided on an itinery and chosen some hotels. We asked Ben to make the hotel bookings, arrange internal flights and provide a car/driver. All the arrangements were made very efficiently and we were kept informed throughout the process. Our driver was very flexible which allowed us to visit more sights than we originally expected. All in all it was an extremely enjoyable and stress free holiday.

I can certainly recommend Benjamin and his staff if you are going to travel in Madagascar. He created a customized tour for us that was organized as we did not want to feel that we were on a package tour. I would not have been able to set up anything at all by phone from NIgeria where I live but he quickly turned around email correspondence and lived through my many changes of mind about what I wanted to do and see. It was a relief also to have all the hotels booked and park tickets purchased and to be able to pay for it all upfront by electronic transfer rather than carry all that cash on our persons. Next time I come to Madagascar to see the southern parts of the country I will definitely organize it through Benjamin.

We very much enjoyed our three week tour of Madagascar in September 2006. Earlier in the year we had provided Benjamin with our "ideal itinerary" with a list of accommodations and National Parks that we wanted to visit and he did a splendid job in organising everything. Having a local agent in Madagascar to arrange things is very important as communications from outside Madagascar can be frustratingly slow and difficult if you do not speak French as we do not. Benjamin and our our driver greeted us on arrival at Tana in the early hours of the morning and after a briefing we were off! Everything went like clockwork and our drivers (Miza and Baba) were very knowledgeable and helpful. We can thoroughly recommend Benjamin to arrange a memorable tour of Madagascar.

Even to hardened African travellers, madagascar is a hard country to organise tours in. Many times the guide books are not updated (even the latest versions); the emails do not work ("address unknown") or the emails do not get any reply at all. Some replies arrive, but in french, of which my knowledge is limited. We found Come-Mada tours through one of the multiple internet searches we conducted when we were planning our trip last year, a one month trip though September into october 2006. His web site is informative, and the emails are always responded to very promptly, often in hours, and in good English. The tours offered are a good selection of those availible in Madagascar, now even hinting at Masoala. We ended up doing Three of out four tours with Come-mada East to perinet and onto Tamatave, (very recomended, west to morandava (Tsingy a must do, but maybe fly in), North east to Ampijora (excellent, but maybe drive there), and was very satisfied with all aspects. The drivers arrived timeously, could mostly speak english, and helped us wherever we were. The itineries were adapted to our specific requirements and the prices quite acceptable. Madegascar is a hard destination to plan. Benjamin offers you an accessible way to do it without going to the big tour companies that do not offer anything other than an doubling of the price. Well done Benjamin, a good operation, that deserves support. If you have specific questions send me a short email. phil

We have just returned from a two week visit to Madagascar. Before we went I corresponded with Benjamin by email and worked out what sort of trip we wanted. Mike, my husband and I had been to Madagascar twice before, once with an organised group (which we hated) and the second time by ourselves, we just booked our international flight and organised everything else when we got there. This time with the help of Benjamin we had things prepared for us when we arrived. The drivers and guides which Benjamin had organised were helpful and professional. We had a great time, this time travelling wiht our two teenage sons - a great introduction to a fantastic country. I know that arranging a tour via the internet always carries the possibility of things going wrong. Benjamin was a truly professional tour operator. We highly recommend him. Already we are planning our next trip. Best wishes Benjamin and thank you to all who looked after us on our trip. Bea, Mike, Sean and Bobby from London

Tja, was soll ich �ber den Benjamin sagen; Bin absolut gut bedient worden, es blieben keine W�nsche offen. Ich war November 2004 f�r fast vier Wochen in Madagaskar und in der ganzen Zeit unter Benjamins bew�hrten Fittichen, war alles super organisiert und hat - eigentlich unvorstellbar dort! - alles minuzi�s hingehauen. Im September 2006 fahre ich wieder hin, nat�rlich wieder organisiert von Mr. Benjamin. (Kleine Schleichwerbung am Rande; beste Kombination zum kennenlernen von Madagaskar ist Hotel Fischerhaus in Tana plus Mr. Benjamin)
