Departure
The Comoros are Africa’s most overlooked island nation — four volcanic islands in the Indian Ocean between Madagascar and Mozambique, where Swahili, Arab, African and French cultures have blended into something entirely unique. This is one of the last truly undiscovered destinations in Africa.
Karthala is one of the world’s largest active volcanoes — a 2,361-metre giant that dominates Grande Comore. The summit crater is one of the largest active calderas on Earth. Trekking to the summit through cloud forest and lava fields is one of the Indian Ocean’s great adventure experiences.
The coelacanth — a prehistoric fish thought extinct for 65 million years until rediscovered off the Comoros in 1938 — still lives in the deep waters around these islands. The Comoros is the only place on Earth where you can dive with a living fossil. This is one of the most extraordinary wildlife encounters on the planet.
Comoros culture is a unique blend of Swahili, Arab, African and French influences. Moroni — the capital — is one of the most beautiful Swahili cities in the Indian Ocean, with a medina, ancient mosques, and a harbour that has traded with Arabia for a thousand years. Ylang-ylang — the perfume flower — fills the air across the islands. Your Daylite Digital Ambassador brings this hidden Indian Ocean culture to life.
