Sahambavy

Resting in the southeastern inland region of Madagascar, the quiet village town of Sahambavy is known for its stunning scenery and picturesque farms. It is also an excellent base for travellers wishing to explore the town of Fianaratsoa. Surrounded by purple mountain peaks juxtaposed against rolling green tea fields, the undeniable charm of the town lies within it being Madagascar's only tea plantation. Alongside this, the village produces rice, cassava and potatoes, creating vast hilly landscapes of verdant crops. The famous antique Fianaratsoa-Cote Est Railway makes one of its last stops here, running through Sahambavy from the town centre of Fianarantsoa to the delightful coastal town of Manakara on the Indian Ocean coast. Don't miss the opportunity to visit neighbouring Fianarantsoa's historic Upper Town, which features enthralling churches and breathtaking views.
