Highland Terraces
Intricate patterns of terraced rice fields nestled in the valleys of the Analamanga and Vakinankaratra regions shortly after takeoff.
Isalo National Park
Breath-taking views of the Jurassic sandstone formations, deep canyons, and jagged plateaus that define this iconic landscape.
Ilakaka Mines
The unique, pockmarked landscape of the world-famous sapphire mining town, visible as a cluster of activity in the dry wilderness.
Onilahy River
A striking contrast of emerald green water and lush vegetation winding through the parched, brown terrain of the southwest.
Table Mountain
The distinctive flat-topped 'Montagne de la Table' which signals the final descent into the coastal plains of Toliara.
For the best clarity of the Isalo massifs, choose a morning flight to avoid the heat haze that often develops by mid-afternoon. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to fully capture the geological transition from the red central highlands to the white limestone of the south.

Ankaratra Massif
Views of Madagascar's third highest mountain range, featuring extinct volcanic peaks and fertile highland slopes.
Laterite Plateaus
Expansive vistas of the 'Red Island' soil, showing the intense erosion and deep gullies known as lavaka.
Mozambique Channel
The deep blue horizon of the channel becomes visible as the aircraft aligns for its approach to the coast.
Ifaty Reef System
During the final approach, look for the turquoise waters and white breaking waves of the Great Barrier of Tulear to the north.
Sit on the right if you prefer the coastal view during landing. If the flight path takes a northern loop over the sea before landing, the right side provides an incredible perspective of the lagoon's coral structures and the baobab forests near Ifaty.
