The administrative and economic center of the region, the city is located on the east coast of Grande-Terre, the main island of Mayotte, and is characterized by its tropical climate and volcanic landscape.
Geographical and human characteristics
Whangani is surrounded by green hills and bays and has a natural harbor surrounded by coral reefs. With a population of about 70,000, it is a blend of African, Arab and French cultures, with French as the official language and Comorian as the lingua franca. It is famous for its vanilla, ylang ylang and coconut cultivation, and fishing and tourism are becoming the mainstays of the economy.
Functions and landmarks
As the administrative center of Mayotte, Wanganui is home to provincial government offices, courts and the main hospital. City landmarks include the colonial-style Old Governor's Palace, the Central Mosque and the vibrant Passamainty Market, where visitors can experience unique folklore events such as the Marusu ceremony.
Ecological and Tourism Highlights
The surrounding area is home to eco-scenic spots such as Suruhai Lake and Nyauzi Beach, famous for its sea turtles, humpback whales and mangrove ecology.
