Any suggestions? Thanks Wojtek --- You can lose everything, but nobody will take away what you saw and what you experienced... W.D.

I see that you really are determined to visit in a row all the countries where you have not yet been, to complete the world! Comoros: several ways to get there: First you can fly to any of these destinations: Reunion - Mauritius - Seychelles - Mayotte - Harare - Nairobi. All these cities are served by a cheap AIR AUSTRAL air pass. But careful! This air pass is only sold in Paris! (In fact I did not know it and bought it in Reunion Island but after many troubles). If you are only interested in Comoros, first fly to any of these destinations, and then to Moroni, which is a lovely Swahili island, like Lamu, or Zanzibar in the old times, without tourists, or better like lovely Mozambique Island (yes, I also travelled there, like you, in a dhow). Take into account that Anjouan and Moheli will probably be independent in the near future. Anjouan has its own flag. In your place I would visit all four Comores, including French Mayotte. Austrian Airlines are offering these days cheap flights to Mauritius. You do not need any visa. Bon voyage! --- Bonum est faciendum et prosequendum, et malum vitandum.

But so far Europe to Dar- es- Salam + Dar to Moroni flights look the last expensive and easy to arrange...

You might consider one of the charter package (flight/hotel) deals. If you contact www.orca.de they are sure help. They once had it on their program, specializing in island (specially scuba) travel, will have some information.

I decided to combine Comoros with Madagascar... First: last expensive flight from Europe to Nairobi... Second: Air Madagascar - Nairobi to Antananarivo with one-week stop on Comoros (they fly this route on Mondays only)...

I myself am comorian, and very please to see people being interested by my country. I leave in england so it is more difficult to fing "cheap" flight for comores as all main cheap airline going to Moroni, go from Paris (sudan airways, yemenia, air austral.) Anyway let's not be discourage as this country is worth the assle!! Wojtekd hope you'll like my country and the people. Reply    Reply with quote    Contact tashy
