  • Moroni – Moroni has a tropical climate and witnesses significant rainfall throughout the year. The average annual temperature is 25 degrees.
  • Harembo – Harembo also has a tropical climate, and while it witnesses significant rainfall throughout the year, it also has a short dry season. The average annual temperature is 24 degrees.

Criminal activity against travellers is relatively low in the Comoros. The most common incidents are pick-pocketing and other instances of petty theft. The best way to prevent this is to be vigilant in public spaces and always protect one’s belongings.

Because of the country’s current state of political unrest travellers should avoid large gatherings and areas of demonstration.

Piracy is an issue in the Comoros. Small vessels travelling between the islands are vulnerable to hostile attention.

Popular activities for travellers to Comoros include snorkelling, deep sea diving, and fishing. While there are few streamlined businesses geared towards tourists, travellers will be able to experience these through interactions with locals.

The beaches of Comoros are also a popular attraction. The water is safe to swim in, although one must look out for jellyfish.

Here are some essential items to consider for your trip to the Comoros:

  • Paper Currency – Credit cards are not widely accepted in the Comoros. Make sure to bring euros and U.S. dollars, as many locations will take these.
  • Breathable Clothing– The climate of the Comoros is often hot and humid. Wear clothing that is not too thick, and that you would mind getting wet.
  • Satellite Phone – These are the easiest way to communicate to parties outside of the Comoros. There is also Internet available in some locations.
  • Proof of Return Ticket – travellers will not be allowed to enter the country without proof of a return ticket. Make sure you have this on hand upon entrance.
  • Basic Health Supplies-Supplies like bandages and aspirin can be hard to come by in the Comoros, so be sure to pack them.

“Efficient“
“Visiting Passport Health was a completely smooth and drama-free experience. I was sent an online form to get as much health history and travel plans as possible, so when I met with the health consultant we could get right to which vaccines and medication is needed for Comoros. Because I will be travelling RTW for a year there was a lot to go through, but my consultant presented the information in a clear and concise manner, and listed the cost of everything. She helped me confirm my medical insurance coverage and I got my vaccines within the hour.”
