Our back-office genie has been out exploring Madagascar! 🌴
Lucilia, my assistant and the person who keeps your bookings running smoothly from the invoicing stage onwards, recently joined me in Nosy Be for her very first visit.
She spent three full days visiting hotels and meeting our suppliers, guides, boat crews and owners. There is nothing quite like seeing everything for yourself, meeting the people behind the emails and getting to grips with how all the transfers and island connections fit together.
She is certainly no water baby, but she even braved a short snorkel off Nosy Antsoa! We also visited beautiful Nosy Iranja and its incredible market.
I joined her for a few visits, but spent most of my time manning the “office” from the deck at Sakatia Beachfront Villas. A rather lovely place to keep MadagasCaT ticking over! 💻🌊
Another highlight was meeting clients along the way, including no fewer than 30 MadagasCaT travellers on Tuesday’s Nosy Be to Johannesburg flight. What a pleasure to put faces to names and hear a little about your holidays.
A few very well-deserved thank-yous:
To Angelot of Angel’s Tours, thank you for making your guide and staff available to accompany Lucilia throughout her three days of visits and meetings.

To Griselda and Adrian at Sakatia Beachfront Villas, thank you for your consistently wonderful hospitality and for thoroughly spoiling us during our stay.

Lucilia is home with first-hand knowledge, familiar faces behind the supplier names and a much clearer understanding of the logistics of a Nosy Be holiday. All of which means she is even better equipped to answer your questions and help your holiday run smoothly.
