Fianarantsoa to Comoros

Fianarantsoa

An archipelago of four islands on the Indian Ocean, Comoros lies near the coast of East Africa. It features a warm tropical climate with an average annual temperature of 33°C. Comoros is filled with palm-fringed beaches and lush vegetation. The largest island, Grande Comore, is famous for its active shield volcano, Mount Karthala. Rising up to 2,361 m above sea level, it is well-known for its 3 x 4 km wide caldera – the largest one in the world. On this island’s coast, Lac Salé is a sacred freshwater lake and its depth remains a mystery until today. Another popular attraction on this island is Mitsamiouli Beach. It is relatively secluded and surrounded by clear waters, ideal for diving. The smallest island, Mohéli, is famous for Mohéli Marine National Park. This protected area is home to green turtles, Comorian lemurs and even serves as a common breeding spot for humpback whales. Comorian cuisine is a blend of French and Arab influences. Mataba, Langouste a la vanille, and Pilaou are widely common. Moroni, the capital city, is famed for its 15th-century-built Nouvelle Mosquee de Vendredi Mosque, next to Vola Vola Market. The market has a few stalls selling local handicrafts and essential oils such as ylang-ylang and jasmine.
