What is COMOROS?!
I have made it safely to my 142nd country — the lovely African-island nation of COMOROS!
Nothing gets me more excited than visiting places like Comoros, which are completely hidden and overlooked by the world.
Truth be told, Comoros is booming with life and it has such a unique culture!!
Two Facebook friends, Hamza & Armel, picked me up at the Comoros main airport yesterday morning and have been driving me all over to visit the best places on the island. The people here in Comoros are so kind and welcoming, despite not speaking much English (everyone knows French as it was a French colony).
In this video, I have done my best to educate you a little bit about what life is like in Comoros. I hope you enjoy, and please, comment with any questions/thoughts/comments you may have!
Have you ever been to Comoros?

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!

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!

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.
Moroni with Harbor Bay and Central Mosque, Capital of the Comoros
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]

MAURITIUS vs. SEYCHELLES vs. COMOROS
Over the last 3 months, I've had the pleasure to visit all 3 of Africa's small island countries in the Indian Ocean. Mauritius, Seychelles and Comoros.
While the three often get mixed together for their stunning natural landscapes and white-sanded beaches, the culture and lifestyle of the 3 nations are very different. This video will explain more about Mauritius v Seychelles v Comoros!

About Moroni: Moroni (Arabic: موروني, romanized: Mūrūnī) 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 (mroni in Shingazidja). Moroni is the capital of the semi-autonomous island of Ngazidja, the largest of the three main islands of the republic. The citys estimated population in 2003 was 41,557 residents. Moroni, which lies along the Route Nationale 1, has a port and several mosques such as the Badjanani Mosque. // The Comoros, officially the Union of the Comoros, is an independent country made up of three islands in southeastern Africa, located at the northern end of the Mozambique Channel in the Indian Ocean. Its capital and largest city is Moroni. The religion of the majority of the population, and the official state religion, is Sunni Islam. As a member of the Arab League, it is the only country in the Arab world which is entirely in the Southern Hemisphere. Comoros proclaimed their independence on July 6, 1975.

Moheli - A hidden gem in the Comoros Island
#hiddenparadise #localconservation #indianocean #protectnature
An impulsive decision to head to a remote island in the middle of the Indian Ocean led to one of most incredible four day working side by side with my good friend Rudi Wild and Moheli National Park. We spent every second of our time filming this spectacular gem of nature both on land and underwater. Less than 700 tourists Moheli every year. Which just goes to show how special this place is.
Huge thanks to the team of Mohéli National Park for making this possible.

A Tourists Guide to Moroni, Comoros!
I fly into Moroni, the capital of the Comoros. Unlike the Seychelles, Maldives and Mauritius, this Indian Ocean nation sees very little tourism and is one of the poorest countries on Earth.
I stay in the lush surroundings of the Istandra Beach Hotel, but take a tour of the Island's sights, including the old capital, Iconi, a wander through the markets of Moroni, and stop by a beach to watch some fishermen out in the surf. A most memorable trip.
Moroni, COMOROS: a 3.5 Minute Video
Part of a new series of videos edited down to 3.5 minutes to show the highlights.
Join me on this whistle-stop tour of Moroni, the Indian Ocean island of Comoros capital city.
The Comoros. Everyday life in a small village. Traditional comorean beauty mask and marriage dress.
#Comores #TravelDocumentary
After long walk all over the vanilla and ylang ylang plantation we came to the small village Paje to learn about simple everyday life in the Comoros islands. We helped Maketses brother to replace a roof with some palm leaves. Tali tried traditional sandalwood beauty mask, which helps to protect the skin from the sun in East Africa. We visited a very famous tailor to dress up with a traditional marriage dress.

The Comoros Explained in 10 minutes
The Comoros, an archipelago located in the Indian Ocean off the southeastern coast of Africa, consists of four major islands – Ngazidja, Mwali, Ndzouani, and Mayotte. Its varied geography includes volcanic islands with fertile soil supporting tropical crops. The Comoros has a rich history influenced by Bantu settlers, Arab traders, and European colonialism. French colonial rule began in the 19th century, and the Comoros declared independence in 1975 amidst political instability. Its diverse population predominantly practices Sunni Islam, speaks Comorian dialects, French, and Arabic. The economy, heavily reliant on agriculture, faces challenges due to inadequate infrastructure and reliance on remittances. The unique political structure involves a rotating presidency among the three islands to ensure equal representation. Despite political struggles, Comoros maintains a vibrant culture with African, Arabic, and Indian influences, reflected in its cuisine which blends these traditions into a distinctive Creole style.
