Road

Road Quality

All the islands have tarred roads, but 4-wheel drive vehicles are advisable for the outlying islands and in the interior, especially in the rainy season. Roads are narrow and domestic animals often roam free, so you should drive slowly.

Car Hire

Available on Ngazidja (Grande Comore).

Taxi

Bush taxis (taxis-brousses), hired vehicles or private cars are the only forms of transport on the islands.

Documentation

An International Driving Permit is valid for up to three months.

Rail

Water

The islands are linked by regular ferry services. Travellers can hire motorboats, sailing craft and canoes in port villages and towns. A boat can be especially useful for Mwali (Mohéli) where the road system is rudimentary.
