On your way, pause for some bird-watching: the site is abundant with a variety of species, some of them very rare, such as Comoro blue and olive pigeons, Mayotte sunbirds, and white-eyes.

  • The track is not so easy. Around 30 minutes from easy to almost climbing with the trees' roots. But at the top, the 360° view is awesome ! Pictures on the rock are stunning !!! A must do in...

  • Challenging but worth it! Need of patience and courage, but seriously worth it
  • MAGNIFICENT point of view!! Like everything beautiful, it has to be earned. Good shoes: it's essential!! A pair of gloves helps too. Suitable for adults less recommended for children... Minimally sporty hike, delicate passages (ascent and descent). Once at the top, we take full eyes. Allow at least 40 minutes Hike started at dawn (4h) to see the sunrise. I recommend
