The Comoros - East Africa's Island Paradise
I spent ten days exploring the Comoros islands in East Africa (next to Madagascar), splitting my time between Grande Comore and Mohéli. On Grande Comore I visited Moroni, the beaches of the north, Lac Salé, and Chindini.
On Moheli I stayed at Laka Lodge in Nioumachoua, where I swam, snorkled with humpback whales and turtles, and enjoyed Moheli's perfect beaches. A true paradise!

East Africa's Island Paradise, Moroni, Capital of Comoros, Beautiful Indian Ocean Island! #trending
Moroni, Capital of Comoros, is the largest city, federal capital and seat of the Government of the Union of the Comoros, a sovereign archipelago nation in the Indian Ocean.
Moroni means at the river Moroni is the capital of the semi-autonomous island of Ngazidja, the largest of the three main islands of the republic.
The city is on the western coast of Ngazidja. Moroni has a rocky volcanic coastline, mostly without beaches.
The old City Centre is similar to but smaller than the old town of Lamu. There are many mosques, notably the Badjanani Mosque (old Friday Mosque), which is the oldest mosque in the Medina.
Moroni has a few hotels and nightclubs. The nearby Karthala volcano is also an attraction for hiking when the volcano is dormant.
Moroni is situated at the foot of Mount Karthala, 10 kilometres (6 miles) northwest from the volcano's crater.
As of 2011, Moroni had a population of about 54,000. Sunni Muslims account for 98%, and there is a minority of Roman Catholics. The official languages of the Comoros are Shikomori, Arabic and French.
Among the places of worship, they are predominantly Muslim mosques. There are also Christian churches and temples : Apostolic Vicariate of the Comoros Archipelago (Catholic Church), Protestant churches, Evangelical Churches
Goods produced on the island are vanilla, soft drinks, processed and distilled essential oils, metal and wood products, and processed pozzolana (cement); these are exported from the port. The tourist infrastructure is poorly developed. There are several markets in Moroni, including the old market and the larger market at Volo Volo in the north of the city.
Moroni is served by the Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport, located at Hahaya, about 15 km (9 mi) north of the town. However, there are no direct flights to Europe. Airlines which operate international flights to this airport are Air Austral and Kenya Airways. However, between the islands the local airlines, Int'Air Iles and AB Aviation operate.
There is a major harbor though small in size with regular transport to the African mainland and the other islands in the Comoros archipelago, as well as Madagascar and other Indian Ocean islands.
The Comoros Islands - The Union of the Comoros
The Comoros officially the Union of the Comoros (Comorian: Udzima wa Komori, French: Union des Comores, Arabic: الاتحاد القمري al-Ittiḥād al-Qumurī/Qamarī) is an archipelago island nation in the Indian Ocean, located off the eastern coast of Africa, on the northern end of the Mozambique Channel, between northeastern Mozambique and northwestern Madagascar. Other countries near to the Comoros are Tanzania to the northwest and the Seychelles to the northeast. The capital is Moroni on Grande Comore.
At 1,862 km2 (719 sq mi) (excluding Mayotte),[3] the Comoros is the third-smallest African nation by area. With a population estimated at 798,000 (excluding Mayotte), it is the sixth-smallest African nation by population—although it has one of the highest population densities in Africa. Its name derives from the Arabic word القمر qamar (moon).[4] The archipelago is notable for its diverse culture and history, as a nation formed at the crossroads of many civilizations. Though in the contested island of Mayotte the sole official language is French, the Union of the Comoros has three official languages: Comorian (Shikomor), Arabic and French.

The country officially consists of the four islands in the volcanic Comoros archipelago: northwestermost Grande Comore or Ngazidja, Mohéli or Mwali, Anjouan or Nzwani, and southeastermost Mayotte or Maore, as well as many smaller islands. However, the government of the Union of the Comoros (or its predecessors, since independence) has never administered the island of Mayotte, which France administers as an overseas collectivity. Mayotte was the only island in the archipelago that voted against independence from France in 1974; the latter has vetoed United Nations Security Council resolutions that would affirm Comorian sovereignty over the island.[5][6][7][8] In addition, a 29 March 2009 referendum on Mayotte's becoming an overseas department of France in 2011 was passed overwhelmingly by the people of Mayotte.
The Union of the Comoros is the only state to be a member of all of the following: African Union, Francophonie, Organisation of the Islamic Conference, Arab League and Indian Ocean Commission. The country has had a history marked by numerous coups d'état since independence in 1975. As of 2008 about half the population lives below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day.[9]

Comoros
The volcanic islands of the Comorian archipelago have been called the “perfumed islands” for their fragrant plant life and are known for their great scenic beauty. The four main islands of the archipelago — “four small effervescent stones, wedged between the nearby large red island [Madagascar] and the Mozambican coast,” in the words of the Comorian writer Sitti Saïd Youssouf—combine African, Arabic, Malagasy, and French influences and were once important in the significant Indian Ocean trade between East Africa and Asian ports such as India and Japan.

Fun facts about the Comoros Islands
Welcome to the Comoros Islands
#COMOROS #AFRICA #TRAVEL
Welcome to Kids adventures in Africa channel. This week we explore a tiny island nation known for its perfumes, humongous scary fish and lots of lava action. Welcome to the beautiful Comoros Islands.
The Comoros is an archipelago of volcanic islands off the east coast of Africa. It lies in the warm Indian Ocean waters between Mozambique and Madagascar.
The name Comoro comes from the Arabic word for “moon” but the residents call their country Masiwa, which means “the Islands”. The weather here is typical island climate - tropical and humid.
Moroni is the capital city. The name means the heart of the fire. And it's so named because the cityi sits at the foot of Mount Karthala, an active volcano that erupts once every decade. Due to volcanic activity, the islands have no indegenous mammals or reptiles except for bat's.
But what it lacks in mammals it more than makes up for in sea life. The Comoros host the largest population of coelacanths in the world. This rare and poisonous fish can grow up 2metres long. Comorians call it kombessa and have traditionally used its rough, tough scales as sandpaper, for roughening bicycle tyres when mending a puncture.
The reefs surrounding the Comoro Islands, especially those of the Mohéli National Park, are among the most vibrant in the world. Green turtles, dolphins, manta rays, rock lobsters, and seasonal humpback whales are very common.
Close to a million people call the comoros home, making the island the 4th smallest country in africa. Comorians speak Shikomori, which means the language of the islands. when you want to say hello in Shikomori you say, Yedje!
Most Comorians are farmers and close to 2 thirds of the population live in rural areas. Their cuisine consists mainly of seafood, rice, cassava, and coconuts
Some people call the Comoros the perfume Islands. And it's a well deserved nickname. The Comoros Islands are the world's primary producer of Ylang Ylang. Ylang Ylang is the main ingredient in many world famous perfumes such as Chanel no.5.
Along with perfumes, the Comoros is also known for producing aromatic spices like cloves cardammon nutmeg and vanilla. It's the world's 2nd largest producer of vanilla after Madagascar.
The trees of the island are also aromatic. Especially the highly valued sandalwood tree which Comorians grind into a paste called m'sinndanu. And apply on their faces as sunscreen.
and that's it for the Comoros Islands. Give us a thumb s up if you've learnt something new. And join us next time as we visit the Republic of Congo!
