Mouth of Mananara

The Mananara reaches the Indian Ocean near Vangaindrano on Madagascar's southeastern coast. Its waters gather from several rivers in the island's mountainous interior before crossing a low, marshy plain to the sea. The Menarahaka, Ionaivo and Itomampy converge upstream to form this river. Their long courses bring water from very different parts of the high country into a common outlet on the eastern shore.
