Known locally as Momoju, Mamoudzou is the capital of the French overseas collectivity of Mayotte. Located in the Indian Ocean, between northern Madagascar and northern Mozambique, Mayotte encompasses the largest coral lagoon in the world, more than 1,000 square kilometers in size. Enjoy world-class snorkeling and diving; discover where sea turtles come to roost; and in August and September, watch for humpback whales with their calves.
