Saziley National Park is a national park in Mayotte, a French island territory in the Comoro archipelago of the western Indian Ocean. It was established in 1991.
Description
The 4180 ha park comprises the south-easternmost headland of the island. it is 4 km long with a sharp ridge rising to 233 m and is vegetated with dry shrubland and thicket containing baobabs. It overlaps with the 1600 ha Mlima Choungui and Sazilé Important Bird Area (IBA), identified as such by BirdLife International because it supports populations of Comoro olive-pigeons, Comoro blue-pigeons, Mayotte white-eyes, Mayotte sunbirds and red-headed fodies. It is also home to Robert Mertens' day geckos, island day geckos and Pasteur's day geckos. Its beaches are a nesting site for green, and probably hawksbill, sea turtles.
