The Pioneer team and our local partners have a deep knowledge and understanding of Madagascar. Without doubt it’s our favourite destination! We are in awe of its human culture, a unique mix of african, asian and arabic ethnicity, the country’s stunning geography and incredibly high level of biodiversity, virtually unrivalled anywhere in the world due to its separation from the African mainland for millions of years. Such is our passion for everything Malagasy, we love developing itineraries for holidays to Madagascar. Having operated here for 10 years, we have developed an unrivalled range of trips to Madagascar from wildlife and nature trips to adventure, trekking, climbing, kayaking, rafting, cycling and photographic tours.
