Menabe Baobabs
Aerial views of the unique 'upside-down' trees scattered across the savannah shortly after departure.
Lavaka Erosion
The striking 'bleeding' red hills caused by natural and man-made erosion, unique to Madagascar's geology.
Lake Itasy Volcanics
Ancient volcanic domes and crater lakes visible on the southern horizon during the mid-flight segment.
Antananarivo Skyline
The sprawling multi-colored houses of the capital city built across twelve sacred hills.
The Rova of Antananarivo
The historic Royal Palace complex perched on the highest point of the city during the final descent.
Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of takeoff to catch the baobab clusters. During the descent into TNR, the right side usually provides a better angle of the city's historic Upper Town and the Queen's Palace.

Mozambique Channel
Glittering turquoise waters and coastal mangroves visible immediately after takeoff from Morondava.
Tsiribihina River Delta
The massive, meandering river system snaking through the western plains toward the sea.
Bongolava Plateau
The rugged western edge of the highlands featuring sharp escarpments and deep valleys.
Highland Rice Paddies
Intricate, neon-green terraced fields that cover the valley floors as you approach Antananarivo.
Look out early for the distinct transition between the dry western forests and the humid central plateau. Morning flights provide the clearest views as clouds often build up over the mountains by mid-afternoon.
