Destination Madagascar & the Comoros
Altough located about 4oo km off the east coast of Africa, Madagascar has been isolated from the African landmass some 165 million years ago. As a result Madagascar started producing a remarkable variety of animals and plants unknown anywhere else on earth. Visitors often describe Madagascar as 'a naturalist's promised land.'
The Comoros Islands were called the Comoros Djazair al Qamar by early seafaring Arabs, meaning ' Island of the Moon' , which caused the name Comoros in English. In moonlit nights one easily understands the origin for the name- the moon shines brilliantly behind the palm trees, silvering old Swahili palaces and reflecting on white sand beaches.
