The Rova of Antananarivo
A stunning aerial perspective of the Queen's Palace sitting atop the city's highest peak.
Tsiribihina River
The massive, meandering river system carving through the dry western landscape with wide sandbanks.
Avenue of the Baobabs
Look closely during the descent to spot the iconic cluster of giant Adansonia grandidieri trees.
Western Savanna
A stark landscape transition into dry deciduous forests and traditional Sakalava homesteads.
Morondava Mangroves
Intricate coastal ecosystems where the red earth of the island meets the turquoise sea.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. To see the Avenue of the Baobabs, look out the window about 5-10 minutes before landing; they appear as distinct, thick-trunked trees taller than the surrounding brush. A window seat away from the wing is essential for photography.

Antananarivo Hills
Panoramic views of the capital's sprawling red-clay architecture and terraced hillsides.
Lake Itasy Volcanics
Distances views of the volcanic field featuring ancient craters and fertile agricultural valleys.
Bongolava Escarpment
The dramatic drop-off where the central highlands meet the western sedimentary plains.
Highland Rice Paddies

Mozambique Channel
The vast expanse of the Indian Ocean's western channel appearing on the horizon during descent.
Sit on the left for better views of the city's western suburbs and the initial transition into the rural highlands. Early morning flights are recommended as clouds often build up over the central plateau by mid-afternoon, obscuring the ground.
