This tour blends wildlife exploration, community-based conservation, and coastal serenity perfect for nature lovers, families, and curious travelers.

Begin your journey with a walk through the Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, Zanzibar’s only national park and home to the rare and endangered Red Colobus Monkey. Follow your guide along raised boardwalks through mangrove swamps and forest paths, while spotting monkeys, birds, butterflies, and medicinal plants.

Next, visit the nearby Butterfly Centre, a peaceful enclosure run by local communities. Walk through a netted tropical garden filled with hundreds of fluttering native butterflies. Learn about their life cycle, how they’re bred for conservation and income generation, and their vital role in Zanzibar’s ecosystems.

After exploring the forest and butterfly sanctuary, head south to Mtende Beach, one of Zanzibar’s hidden gems.
