Jozani Forest Tour – Discover Zanzibar’s Natural Treasure
Step into the heart of Zanzibar’s biodiversity with a guided Jozani Forest Tour, an unforgettable journey through the islands only national park — the Jozani-Chwaka Bay National Park.
Home to the rare and endangered Red Colobus Monkeys, Jozani Forest offers a peaceful yet exciting escape into a rich and ancient tropical forest. These friendly primates are only found in Zanzibar, and your guide will help you observe them closely (but respectfully) in their natural habitat.
As you walk under the shady canopy of mahogany and eucalyptus trees, your guide will share fascinating insights into the island’s ecology, native plants, and medicinal trees. You may also spot other forest creatures such as bush babies, butterflies, and various bird species.
The tour continues into the mangrove boardwalk, where you’ll explore a unique coastal ecosystem that supports marine life and protects the shoreline. This peaceful walk over wooden paths offers beautiful views and a deeper appreciation of Zanzibar’s natural balance.
Jozani Forest is perfect for families, nature lovers, and responsible travelers looking to connect with Zanzibar’s unique wildlife and conservation efforts.
