Horombe (pronounced Ooroombay) plateau between Ihosy and Isalo mountains in southwestern Madagascar is set on an altitude of approximately 800 m above sea level. It´s the land of the Bara, an ethnicity of herdsmen crossing the vast plains of the plateau with their zebu cattle. Cattle theft is also an issue not to be underestimated in Bara culture. Settlements are rare and primarily found in oases along the few rivers.
