Introduction to the Comoros from the team at CMT
These islands are everything you ever wanted in a remote getaway. The package promised by the likes of tourist-trodden veterans like Mauritius and Maui, peddled by the postcards and the movies…the romance and adventure alluded by the vistas of safari-saturated Mozambique and Zanzibar…but ever-elusive to African tourism today. Comoros is a real hard place to get to.. there’s no doubt in saying that and no sense in pretending otherwise, and few come. But if you can get here, it is the most absurdly romantic place left in the IO, the most frozen in time and unchanged in its way of life for thousands of years. Comoros hosts tribes and culture and garden vistas straight out of every child and grown-ups fantasy. Hospitable and colorful people, perfumed harvests of Chanel’s staples for fragrance, verdant oases set against black-rock volcanos and beaches darker and more otherworldly than the landscapes of Myst. Festivals of African Beauty, and the most dignified and decorated set of Islander Africans you’ll find around the seas. This is where your Remote Island Dream lies.
CMT is the biggest and most comprehensive tour operator in the country. Our catalog and team takes in the whole range that the archipelago has to offer, not just the animal-packed Marine Parks and the labrythine-winding markets and medinas…but the cultures and features of the creeping ocean buffer zone, where life is hard and nature is harsher, and the sublime summits of the island’s forested mountains, of timeless and proud ways of life…Come to the furthest edge of your known world, and the farthest away from home you’ll ever feel.
CMT’s team set up the international airport at Comoros and then Mayotte 45 years ago when Air France asked the founder, Asma and parents Issafouli to set up the inernational civil aviation standards to receive the commercial aircraft. Since that, and ticketing and being the agency for Ewa air and all regional carriers and boats that run inter-island, they grew a tourism and cruise team over generations, handling aircraft to the adventurous submarine and sea expeditions. You are coming with the people on these islands that are the first, the oldest, the safest, the most educated about the history of the isles, the best equipped for the deep sea, and the greatest guides in the Indian Ocean.
