Voyage de 5 jours extraordinaire en boutre avec un équipage à la fois très professionnel, chaleureux, à l’écoute mais aussi discret pour nous permettre de vivre pleinement ces moments en famille. Nous avons adoré les heures en boutre à contempler le paysage, l’installation du campement, les nuits à la belle étoile, les rencontres, les repas… Nous vivons depuis trois ans à Madagascar et c’est sûrement la plus belle expérience que nous ayons eu à vivre jusqu’ici. Déconnexion totale. Un grand merci à notre équipage de choc (dont les enfants parlent encore souvent): Simon, Mando, Majid, Bebeto Silvano et bien sur Jacky notre guide.

Bonjour à toute l’équipe,
Bonjour,
Je tenais à te faire un retour de notre voyage à bord de Karakori.
Tout d’abord nous garderons un souvenir ému de son équipage. Jacky, Simon, Babe, Stéphane, Claude, René ont été incroyables.
Nous ne nous sommes jamais sentis comme des clients mais comme des invités.
Ensuite, les ti-punchs et les repas étaient délicieux.
Enfin la découverte de la côte et les bivouacs dans les villages nous ont émerveillés.
J’espère donner envie à quelques amis voyageurs de découvrir cette aventure.
Tu trouveras plus bas un lien de téléchargement de quelques photos dont celles du bateau, orchestrées par Jacky.
Un grand merci et bon vent.

Bonjour !
Hello to the Alefa team!
We ended our stay in Madagascar with our heads full of memories, at the end of an exceptional trip with your crew. Everyone was incredibly kind to all of us, and Jacky will always be remembered for his kindness and sense of sharing. We learned an enormous amount from him.
Abdou delighted us with his tasty dishes, Mando and Majid were discreet but super efficient, Silvano with his laugh (oh boy, where are the blisters?) and his unforgettable wiggle, and Alberto, phlegmatic and gentle.
Dom, Angie, Nicolas, Jo Black, Hafsa, thank you also for your support in the run-up to this incredible human adventure.
We've seen Alefa's work in the villages (wells, solar panels, playgrounds), and your commitment is remarkable.
Keep up the good work and thanks again for the six of us.
Christian, Alex, Muriel, Emmanuel, Jeanne and Manuela
Hello,
I think these few days aboard the Pirogue are one of our best memories of our trip to Madagascar!
Thank you for sharing this timeless experience with us.
We'd love to go back in time and return!
We've shared the address with our friends in Reunion who are planning to visit you, probably after the elections!
Here are a few photos that you can share if you feel like it!
Misotcha betsika!!

Hello to the Alefa team,
Just one more word after we've landed (with a touch of homesickness) and a few days to get back on course... To tell you once again what a pleasure it's been to live this experience, but also to say a special hello to Nicolas, since chance didn't allow us to bump into each other; not that I particularly wanted to play the old fighter and reminisce about our "splashdown", but to tell him how much I admire the way he's been steering his boat(s) all these years. I've rediscovered the sensations I first experienced 23 years ago, and which I'd been frustrated not to have been able to experience to the full. It's exceptional to have maintained such a high level of passion, responsibility, generosity and energy in what you offer, both to us and to the men and women who welcome us into their environment. We can feel this magic formula in the spirit of the crew too, so well done to you both, Dom and Nicolas. We're very happy to have inaugurated this new season, and we've sensed that the crew is equally joyful and super-motivated.
After all these trials and tribulations, and your efforts to keep this great company afloat, we wish you every success, and hope that it will go on and on...
Mary & François (aka katakata lahy)
Also, a big hello to veteran Bruno, whom I saw again with pleasure and emotion...
Extraordinary week!
A week of encounters, discoveries, sharing, wonder, laughter and giggles with a golden crew!
A huge thank you to Jacky for taking such good care of us.
Many thanks to Simon for treating us to such a feast.
Many thanks to Zozo for making us laugh so much.
Many thanks to Jamil for his deadpan approach and the great fish he caught.
Many thanks to Stéphane for taking such good care of us.
Many thanks to Claude for showing us around so well.
We're lucky enough to have traveled a lot already... and, very rarely, we were lucky enough not to come across any tourists for 5 days and to be able to share so much.
We treasure all these memories.
Bravo and thanks to you and Alefa for what you do.
Charlotte & Olivier
To Dominique, our good organizer
