Anjouan (Ndzuani)



Anjouan is a very beautiful island. Though it has forests and rivers and fields full of exotic flowers, it is also the most densely populated island in Comoros. The people live in numerous tiny villages rather than in one bigger agglomeration. The island's mayor problems are deforestation and soil erosion.

Anjouan's capital is Mutsamudu. The Dziancoundré Waterfall is near the town.

Anjouan is most popular for hiking, though if you like snorkeling or scuba diving, the coral reefs around the island are very interesting. The best white-sand beaches can be found at Chiroroni. In Bambao you can visit the ylang-ylang distillery and in Domoni there is a very interesting old town, know as Hari ya Moudji, where you can see many old, decaying palaces that were constructed by 16th to 18th century sultans. The people who inhabit the palaces nowadays are descendants of these sultans.

It is easy to get to Anjouan, as there are plenty flights from Moroni to Mutsamudu. The island also has boat services to the other islands in Comoros. The best way to get around on the island itself is by share-taxi, taxi-brousse or rented car. Anjouan is the second largest island in Comoros and its highest point is 1575 m.
