Atlas Risk Score · 154th safest of 220
6 of 7 pillars estimated from neighbouring countries — global datasets don't cover Mayotte separately.
Where the risk actually is
Risk is rarely spread evenly across a country. The base colour is the code the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs gives Mayotte as a whole; shaded regions are those the UK Foreign Office names in an advisory against travel.
What the warnings actually cover
-
Whole country — Travel with caution. No government currently advises against travel to any part of this country. The colour reflects general caution levels only, not a warned area.
Shading marks whole regions named in an advisory, but a warning is often narrower — a border strip, one road, or a single city. Read the wording, and check the official advisory linked below.
What drives the score
Each pillar is scored 0–100 against every other country. Longer bar = more risk.
Biggest factor here: road & transport. Road deaths per 100,000 people - the risk travellers most underestimate.
Practical facts
The things worth knowing before you land.
When to go
Average daytime high and nightly low for Mamoudzou (the middle of the country — there is no capital in the dataset), over 2010-2019. Bars are rainfall; the colour band is how hot the days get.
Mildest and driest around April to December.
