Madagascar - anyone been recently ?

[Grant]

Been offered a nice deal at Nosy Be ( https://heurebleue.com/en/our-lodges/ ).
Just wondering if anyone has been recently ?

That looks really nice! I haven't been i always was worried i'd pick-up some virus. Other than flying over it to Mauritius and its always a bit turbulent.

You'd be paying the same in SA, if not more for anything remotely similar..

Nosy Be is so great that I have broken my rule about responding on this place. GO GO GO!!!! Plus, they have something nobody else does - Gauloise for R20 a packet. Hell, if you're going and want a place to stop in Joburg first, I am around the corner from OR and my price is delivery of a carton of Gaulloise.

VOA is €20. Go up to Sakatia - the water on the north side of the sand bank is hotter than bath water

Probably quicker to go via Mauritius

But why are you looking at Ethiopian? Airlink flies directly there once a week from JNB:

Never been there but i watched the movie a few too many times.

R30 000 for a return flight to Madagascar..... That's crazy. Must be out of touch with international travel.

that's for 2 pax

You have to factor in that flying in Africa is way more expensive per km that almost anywhere else in the world

Airlink - 4 hours from OR Tambo. Everything else steals two days
