Full Description

The Jozani Forest Tour takes you deep into Zanzibar’s last remaining indigenous forest, a biodiversity hotspot rich with unique flora and fauna.

Upon arrival at Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, your professional local guide will lead you along well-maintained forest trails. The highlight of the tour is spotting the rare red colobus monkeys — a species found only in Zanzibar. These curious and photogenic primates often move freely among the treetops and sometimes descend close to visitors.

As you walk through the tropical forest, your guide will explain the ecological importance of the park, including its medicinal plants, towering mahogany trees, and endemic wildlife species.

The experience also includes a visit to the mangrove boardwalk, where you’ll learn how mangroves protect the coastline and serve as breeding grounds for marine life.

This half-day nature immersion offers a refreshing escape from the beach and provides deeper insight into Zanzibar’s natural heritage and environmental protection initiatives.
