Introducing Ranohira

The small town of Ranohira provides a convenient base for exploring Parc National de l’Isalo and is the nearest significant settlement to Ilakaka, a once sleepy, now bustling town at the centre of the sapphire trade. Acres of waving yellow grass stretch skyward all around the town, randomly broken up by towering rock massifs. At sunset or sunrise, the whole vista unfurls with an unearthly red and pink glow.

Angap (7am-4pm Mon-Fri, 7am-noon & 2-4pm Sat & Sun) is next to Hotel Berny, 100m from the centre of town.
