Comores

Comores is just one African country providing a range of exciting holiday opportunities for both the adventurous and the lazy sun seeker. A magic realist couldn't dream up a better island heaven.
 
The Comores islands are wrapped in a fragrant blend of ylang-ylang oil, Arabic aesthetics, African warmth and French chic. Not only this, but they have a colorful history of sultans and soothsayers, plantation owners and eloping princesses. Submit your Comores & Mayotte videos ›

The wet season between November and April is not a particularly healthy time to visit Comores. If you don't die from dehydration or sheer frustration at the oppressively humid conditions, you might find yourself caught in a monsoonal wind (kashkazi ), or cyclone. The best time to visit is in the cooler months between May and October. In July and August plane tickets to the Comores are expensive and hard to come by, thanks to expat Comorian returning from Europe for their annual holiday. During Ramadan, commencing between August and October til 2010, the collective Comorian temper can suffer from the double whammy of continual fasting and oppressive heat. Shops open for only a couple of hours a day in this period and many restaurants, bars and discos are closed
