What to expect
Singani
Departing from your hotel, embark on a fascinating adventure south through Moroni, where every turn reveals a vibrant glimpse of local culture. Then head for the village of Singani, a resilient witness to a singular history. In 1977, a devastating lava flow reshaped the landscape and changed the village forever. When you arrive, admire the breathtaking view over the rebuilt village. Observe the path left by the lava and discover how the inhabitants have shown their resilience by using this material to rebuild their community. A fascinating journey that blends nature and human ingenuity, in the heart of a breathtaking landscape.
Foumbouni
Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of Foumbouni, the largest town in the south. Stroll through the lively streets of the medina, where every stone tells a story. Visit the ancient palace, symbol of a rich and captivating royal heritage. From the top of the old town, marvel at the breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean, where the horizon merges with the sky. An unforgettable adventure of culture and enchanting landscapes awaits you!
Chindini Beach
Stop off at the charming village of Chindini, gateway to the island of Mohéli, where a maritime adventure awaits you. Witness the return of the fishermen, their boats laden with fresh catches, and admire the locals arriving by “vedette” after a thrilling 2-5 hour ocean crossing. On the way back, marvel at the imposing baobab trees lining the road, testimony to the region's natural beauty. An unforgettable day of breathtaking scenery and authentic experiences!
Iconi
Immerse yourself in a captivating historical adventure in Iconi, the ancient capital of the sultans, nestled in the shadow of an impressive volcanic cone. In the 1800s, brave women jumped from these heights to escape slavery at the hands of Malagasy pirates, an act of resistance etched in the memory of this place. Iconi was long the heart of the Bambao Sultanate. In the center, discover the ancient palace, Kaviri Djewé, built of coral and lava stone, a true testament to a rich heritage. Explore the medina, where the historic bangwes continue to host debates between the men of the community. On the outskirts of town lies Lake Marabou, a haven for mangrove and seabird watching, with the majestic Mount Karthala as a backdrop. If you still have the energy, climb the small volcano of Iconi to admire the ramparts built to protect the village from raids, while enjoying a breathtaking view of the town and the ocean. An unforgettable experience, combining history and nature.
