Getting There
-
Car
If you are driving from a central location in Ndzuwani, head towards the main road leading to Moutsamoudou, the capital of Ndzuwani. Follow the signs for Moutsamoudou. The journey should take about 30-40 minutes depending on traffic. Once you reach Moutsamoudou, continue towards the port area where you can catch a ferry to the other Comoro Islands. Make sure to check the ferry schedule ahead of time, as it may vary. Parking is available near the port, but expect to pay a small fee.
-
Public Transportation
To use public transportation, look for 'taxi-brousse' (shared taxis) in Ndzuwani. These taxis regularly travel to Moutsamoudou from various local points. You can find them near the local market or central bus station. The fare should be around 500-1000 KMF (Comorian Francs) per person, and the journey takes about 45 minutes. Once you arrive in Moutsamoudou, walk towards the port where ferries depart for the other Comoro Islands. Again, check the ferry schedule in advance and be prepared for additional costs for the ferry ride.
-
Ferry
After reaching Moutsamoudou by car or taxi-brousse, head to the main ferry terminal located near the waterfront. Look for ferries heading to your desired island within the Comoro Islands. The ferry ride can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the destination. Ticket prices vary, generally ranging from 5000 to 15000 KMF. It's essential to purchase your tickets in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons.
