How to get there - Mamoudzou
Heading north
Steps: Dzoumogné
Depart by car or taxi-brousse to reach the start of the GR trail and discover , with its panoramic views of the northern islets.
Towards Convalescence
Steps: Mamoudzou
Discover the remains of the Governor's House, then a holiday resort for the highest representative of the State when he wanted to take "the fresh". Century-old mango trees line the trail and, with a bit of luck, you will see dogfish hanging from the trees. Don't worry, they're not mean or aggressive. Vegetarian, they are just as greedy for fruit as makis.
Places of interest : MAISON DU GOUVERNEUR
Inland discovery
Steps: Combani
Take a walk to Mount Combani with its bush and makis or, for the more courageous, climb Mayotte's highest peak: Mount Bénara (660 m altitude)!
Climbing Mount Choungui
Steps: Dapani
Enjoy a breathtaking view of the "southern hand", then descend to Dapani to discover the Sazilé nature reserve along a baobab-lined trail. Bivouac with the possibility of witnessing turtle egg-laying if you're lucky (please observe the approach instructions)!
Lake Dziani
Departure for Petite-Terre to cross the emerald lake and reach the double bay of Moya overlooking the coral Barrier separating it from the Indian Ocean.
