Ambalanjakomby
Ambalanjakomby lies in the river country around Maevatanana in northwestern Madagascar. The Betsiboka and its tributaries drain the uplands toward Bombetoka Bay and the Mozambique Channel. These valleys connect the western interior with the coast, passing through country associated with the Sakalava kingdom of Boina. Forest and open ground share the landscape, while the rivers carry the seasonal rains from the central highlands toward the sea.
