Mount Choungui
The most recognizable peak on Mayotte, a perfect basalt cone that dominates the southern skyline of Grande-Terre.
Betsiboka Estuary
The mesmerizing 'bleeding' landscape where the red earth of Madagascar washes into the turquoise sea.
Bombetoka Bay
A vast complex of mangroves and shifting sandbars tinted deep orange and red by heavy sedimentation.
Mahajanga Skyline
A clear view of the city of Mahajanga, its coastal 'Bord' promenade, and the famous giant Baobab tree near the harbor.
The right side is essential for the approach into MJN. To see the red rivers at their most vibrant, travel during the rainy season (December to March) when erosion is highest. Seats behind the wing are best to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the intricate mangrove channels during the descent.

Petite-Terre Crater
Stunning aerial view of Lake Dziani, a bright emerald-green volcanic crater lake located right next to the airport.
Mayotte Barrier Reef
A breathtaking perspective of one of the world's largest coral lagoons and its distinct double barrier reef.
Dzaoudzi Port
The historic administrative center of Mayotte perched on a rocky outcrop connected by a causeway.
Mozambique Channel
Deep azure waters that are prime territory for spotting humpback whales during the southern winter months.
Opt for a morning flight to avoid the glare of the sun reflecting off the water. The left side is particularly strong during departure for seeing the intricate patterns of the northern reef systems. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff as the plane gains altitude over the lagoon.
