Tsiveri

Tsiveri lies in the southern Malagasy interior, in country drained by tributaries of the Mandrare River. The Tsivory is one of the streams joining the Mandrare from the west. Its upper basin receives more rain than the lower reaches, where the river flows toward the dry southern coast. Higher ground gives the interior a different character from the parched plains downstream, and its watercourses carry rainfall from the uplands into the wider Mandrare basin.
