Introducing the Comoros:

Comoros is an archipelago island nation in the Indian Ocean, located off the eastern coast of Africa, just on the northern tip of the Mozambique Channel between north-eastern Mozambique and north-western Madagascar.

Comoros consists of four main islands of volcanic origin that are bounded by several coral reefs. They include Mayotte, Mwali, Ngazidja and Nzwani (notable for its spectacular waterfalls and abundant vegetation). With a size of 1,862 sq km (excluding Mayotte), Comoros has a Population of 800,000 residents (2007 IMF estimate, excluding Mayotte). The archipelago is notable for its diverse culture and history. Comorans speak Comoran, French and Arabic as the main languages. Islam is the state religion with a very small Roman Catholic minority community of about 0.5%.

Moroni its capital located on Grande Comore is a charming, peaceful town containing a few broad squares and modern government buildings, plus ancient narrow, winding streets and a lively market place. There are a number of fine mosques including the Vendredi Mosque, from the top of which there is an attractive view.

Comoros travel leads you to a touristic-appealing Island with a scenic beauty and varied vegetation. Adventurous travellers are popular visitors to magnificent Mount Karthala. They climb to the top and then descend into the crater of this active volcano; a crater is claimed to be the largest and still active. Overnight camping is common at the shelter usually provided Itsandra, a fishing village 6km from Moroni, has a fine beach perfect for Comoros holidays where visitors get opportunities to witness inspiring cultural dances performed by the locals. The town was once the ancient capital of the island, complete with royal tombs and a fortress.

Most travelers here rarely miss visiting the hot sulphur springs at Lac Salé and a 14th-century village at Iconi. Mitsamiouli is another town in the north of the island prominent for its attractive diving facilities and for having the best Comoran dancers. It is a popular destination for foreign travellers on holiday on the Islands. Several other good holiday beaches excellent for scuba diving facilities are in Mahore town. Tourists may explore the lagoon claimed to be the largest in the world by dugout canoe.

These beautiful tropical islands are situated 5,150 km west-southwest of Honolulu in the North Pacific Ocean, and about three-quarters of the way between Hawaii and Indonesia. Micronesia is spread over 3 million miles of the Pacific and includes over 2000 islands. The distance from one end of Micronesia to the other is 2,040 nautical miles. The tiny islands of Micronesia are the result of volcanic activity millions of years ago. Some are the tips of huge underwater mountains, some of the atolls are the rims of sunken volcano craters which peak above the water surrounding serene lagoons, and some are combinations of both. The high Islands have dramatic cliff faces which, rise straight from the sea. They are covered in tropical jungle and blessed with sunshine. The beautiful low coral atolls encircle blue-green lagoons. These islands are a paradise for diving and fishing. Micronesia is a pleasant mix of traditional and the new.
