WHAT OUR TRAVELERS SAY
Posted on TripadvisorVerified Car rental Hello, I chose 4wdmada because it is the only agency most responsive compared to others. Great reviews also helped me. I was only looking to rent a car with driver and move as we wish. Onja answered all my questions and he was very kind, very friendly and very accommodating. Our driver Patrick also very nice had come to meet us at the airport, always punctual, on time. Even during our stay, I was in touch with Onja , who was checking on us. I recommend this agency 100%. Thank you very much to Onja and has our driver Patrick turned friend.THU PatrickPosted on TripadvisorVerified Best travel ever :-) Due to the good reviews here on Tripadvisor we chose 4wdmada.We already got support during the planning for our journey with very useful advice for our itinerary and Onjq also helped us with the payment for certain activities organised with other providers that had to be paid in advance. Once arrived in Tana we were curious who would join us for the next 4 weeks. Tahjna ,our driver is a very kind and calm person, with a nice humor - we felt absolutly great and safe with him together. He contacted the hotels when we changed our plans and helped/organized guides for our adventures. He always had nice restaurant suggestions and made sure, that we had enough water wherever we went, highlighting that a certain city would be the last option to purchase water for the next few days. Onja was always available if needed and took over the rebooking once we had to change a couple of days of our journey. Both Tahjna and Onja found together good and creative solutions when there was a issue with the car and ensured we could continue our trip without delay. We would highly recommend travelling with 4WDMada and for sure will contact them again for our next travel to this fantastic island. We are dreaming about the next time already!Posted on TripadvisorVerified The best way to see a beautiful country. From the booking process to the tour itself, everything was effortless. The price was fair, the itinerary was tailored, the pickup process was effortless and the country was stunning. Our guide, Tahiry, was a total hero. A new friend for life. While he lacks confidence in his English, he was funny, charming and informative - believe in yourself bro!Most importantly, his driving never once faltered. A real credit to the company.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Trip of a lifetime - challenging and rewarding Madagascar by mountain bikeThis trip has been one of the top few experiences of my life for 10 reasons. 1. The fun of the mountain biking has had me whooping with joy as I roll down 5km of dirt track to the bottom of a mountain. Undoubtedly the best mountain biking of my life. And I’ve biked a lot. 2. Our two guides Bali and Mika were truly superb and became good friends during our 16 days together. Their knowledge of the roads, the culture and the biking was perfect. 3. The skill of these guides was a key ingredient in the feeling that I was immersed in Madagascy culture. I wasn’t really. I was staying in lovely hotels but I really got a great sense of what life is like here. 4. The sheer beauty of this island is the real star of the show. It is unspoiled by power lines as there is not much electricity. And it is visually diverse as you travel from region to region and micro climate to micro climate. 5. The wild life in terms of the lemurs, the other animals and the trees and fauna are wonderful to see and often unique to this one island. 6. The extra guides who show you around the many and diverse national parks have been so impressive in their knowledge and their love of this amazing country and they are local experts who at the heart of building up tourism as a source of income and it felt good to be part of that. 7. The trip was extremely well organized by Onja who clearly has built up great contacts, knowledge and expertise. We paid extra and upgraded our hotels and I really suggest you do the same as we always felt safe and comfortable. 8. So many reasons to love the place and the people but we were shocked by the level of poverty. Especially in the big cities. And by the predatory behaviour of older white western men towards beautiful young Madagasy girls. Though by the end of our month here we had come to see the strength and honour in a fundamentally kind people who always waved and said hello as we cycled past, who always seemed happy and who worked so hard to farm and build a life for their families. 9. Be prepared for the roads as they are awful. Beyond awful in fact. A 200km drive will take 6 hours. And it’s a big island. To explore it you will spend a lot of time being thrown about in the background of a jeep or a bus. The quality of your car and driver will be fundamental to the success of your trip. Here we were supremely lucky with the trip we booked. 10. At the age of 58 I have travelled a lot but have never felt so immersed in a culture, so enthralled by a population of people, so in awe of the environment and so challenged by the daily grind of poverty around me - all at the same time. Trip of a lifetime for sure.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Great round trip We made a week-long tour of Madagascar and were accompanied by a fantastic driver. He brought us safely and reliably to the highlights – the impressive baobab trees, a beautiful river ride and the spectacular Tsingy National Park. During the trips he explained a lot about the country, people and nature and was always helpful and attentive. You felt safe and in good hands with him at all times. Thanks to him, our trip became an unforgettable experience. Absolutely recommend!Posted on TripadvisorVerified Great service, very helpful, punctual and good company! Together with a friend (2 ladies), I spent a month traveling through Madagascar, with 25 of those days accompanied by a driver. We found Onja/4WDMada online. Thanks to his help, we were able to map out a very nice itinerary before even setting foot on the island.On day one, we met our driver Tsiry. Within minutes, he had us laughing with riddles and jokes, instantly breaking the ice. For the next 21 days, Tsiry not only got us safely across Madagascar’s bumpy roads but also gave us a glimpse into the real Madagascar — taking us to local spots we wouldn't have found on our own. His English was more than good enough for the small talk, and we shared plenty of laughs along the way. Plus, knowing he had serious technical knowledge about cars made us feel even safer — not a small thing when you’re tackling the Malagasy countryside!After 21 days, we flew up north to Nosy Be for a few days of beach-side relaxation. When it was time to hit the road again and head towards Diego Suarez, we hadn’t lined up a driver yet. But having been very happy with Onja’s service the first time, it was an easy decision to book through him again.Arriving in Ankify (45 minutes earlier than expected!), we were warmly welcomed by our new driver, Naivo, who was already patiently waiting for us. Once again, a perfect start! Naivo, too, managed well in English, making it easy to arrange everything during our stay. He drove us safely to Diego Suarez and accompanied us during the four days we spent exploring the area around it. His nows the area very wel!In short: if you want professional, reliable drivers who not only get you from A to B but also bring some laughs and sharing local knowledge, look no further than Onja and his team at 4WDMada!Posted on TripadvisorVerified Greate experience with 4x4Mada We travelled to Madagascar in October 2024 and had a great experience with the company run by Onja. Everything was well organised from the planning stage through to the final day of the trip. Communication was clear and everything went as expected.We had a private 4x4 Nissan and our driver, George, was excellent—always punctual, helpful, and very professional. He supported us with small health-related needs and knew great local spots, including restaurants, shops, and museums. On top of that, George was also capable of fixing the car if needed, which gave us extra peace of mind on the road.All transfers, including to and from the airport, were smooth and on time. The trip was well put together, and we felt looked after throughout. We’d happily recommend this company to anyone visiting Madagascar.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Perfect service and driver Great trip through Madagascar! Everything was perfectly arranged by Onja. He responded quickly to questions. Our driver Tahina was incredibly friendly and took us everywhere safely. Nothing was too much for him!Posted on TripadvisorVerified You can trust w4×4mada Best on in madagascar It's my second time with mr onjaI'm in happy and easy in the road off madagascar ... bad roads but good people's Thanks 4×4madaPosted on TripadvisorVerified Highly recommended! 😊😊😊 We did 9 days southern bike tour and had really great time.
