Tsiombe is a municipality and a district of Androy in Madagascar.[3][4]

Geography

[edit]

This district is crossed by the Route nationale 10 and the Manambovo river. Tsihome is located at 65 km west of Ambovombe and 45 km East of Beloha.[5]

The district of Tsihombe includes the Cape Sainte Marie, the southernmost point of Madagascar. At Cape Sainte Marie there is also a wildlife reserve.

This is the semi-arid region of Madagascar and the population uses to eat cactus fruit and crickets to survive.[6][7][8]

A water-pipeline of 225 km is presently under construction if the tubes will not be embezzled.[9]
