Our Comoros Tours takes in the 4 volcanic islands of the Comoros archipelago situated off the central-east African coast. They are divided between the Union of the Comoros, a sovereign nation formed by the three islands of Grande Comore, Anjouan, Mohéli and the French overseas department of Mayotte. The vast evergreen forests that once dominated these islands have largely been removed leaving a few remaining pockets of pristine habitat boasting in the region of 24 endemic species (and likely to reach a staggering 40 with further research). The addition of incredible scenery, a series of easily approachable active volcanoes and particularly friendly locals have made these islands an enticing and rewarding experience. We welcome you to join us as we island-hop with binoculars in hand in our quest to find the birds of these heavenly Indian Ocean isles.

DIFFICULT: This is a high-intensity “mega” tour designed for passionate listers and serious birders who enjoy a fast-paced schedule. Due to its demanding nature, it’s not recommended for avid photographers, inexperienced birders, or anyone with mobility or health limitations.
Moderate. Some difficult hikes, logistical changes. Mostly easy trails, but there will be several moderate to hard hikes.
Comfortable to basic.
Moderate. Some tricky species require persistence. Nocturnal birding may be required on multiple days.

I feel so fortunate to have done these islands with Dan Danckwerts who has spent so much time doing research in this part of the world. I love his positive attitude, attention he gives to all clients, and efficiency with all aspects of the trip. We are so pleased to have gotten all of our targets and those special island sub-species. I look forward to traveling with Dan again!
