Cascade de Soulou, Natural waterfall in Tsingoni, Mayotte.
The Soulou Waterfall descends 27 meters through dense vegetation, creating natural pools where the fresh water meets the Indian Ocean coastline.
The waterfall has served as a gathering point for local communities since the establishment of French administration in Mayotte during the 19th century.
Local women regularly visit the waterfall for traditional purification rituals, particularly during the preparation period before Ramadan observances.
Visitors can access the waterfall via a stepped trail from the parking area near Soulou Beach, with the dry season offering optimal conditions.
The cascade forms a rare natural phenomenon where mountain freshwater directly meets the ocean water, creating distinct temperature zones for swimming.
