Tsimanandrafozana

Tsimanandrafozana stands near the mouth of the Tsiribihina on Madagascar's western coast. The river brings water from the central highlands through Menabe to the Mozambique Channel, spreading into a delta near the sea. Its channels, wetlands and mangroves form a meeting place of river and tide. The settlement occupies a position overlooking the river mouth, where the western plain opens onto the waters between Madagascar and Africa.
