The north consists of a large rock barrier in the eastern part with typical rocky escarpment at its end, varying in altitude between 800 and 1200 metres. The centre is formed by a vast monocline plateau, about 600 to 700 metres above sea level, which greatly reduces the lowering to the Amboloando river. The eastern part is a low plateau of 600 to 700 metres above sea level, descanting to the Malio river.
The area surrounding the park in the west, east and south consists of peneplain with an average altitude of 800 metres. A peneplain represents the final stage of fluvial erosion in times of extended tetonic stability.
In the west remains some forest along the Malio river bed. The Analalava and Analambia area form the park boundary at this side.
