Jozani Forest Tour: Explore Zanzibar’s Wildlife & Nature

Discover Zanzibar’s only national park on this guided tour of Jozani Forest. Spot rare Red Colobus monkeys, walk through the mangrove boardwalk, and explore the island’s rich biodiversity.
Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel and a comfortable drive to Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, the only protected forest reserve in Zanzibar. This lush tropical forest is home to diverse wildlife, unique plant species, and the endangered Zanzibar Red Colobus monkeys, found only on this island.

Upon arrival, embark on a guided nature walk through the dense forest, where you’ll encounter towering mahogany, eucalyptus, and palm trees. Your guide will share insights about the forest’s ecosystem, medicinal plants, and the conservation efforts to protect its wildlife.

One of the highlights is seeing the playful and rare Zanzibar Red Colobus monkeys. These friendly primates, known for their distinctive red and black fur, are often seen leaping between the trees or resting on branches. You may also spot Sykes’ monkeys, bush babies, and various bird species.

Next, explore the Mangrove Boardwalk, a scenic wooden walkway built over the swampy mangrove forest. Learn about the importance of mangroves in coastal protection and marine life, while spotting crabs, fish, and other wetland creatures beneath the wooden planks.

After an immersive nature experience, return to your hotel with a deeper appreciation for Zanzibar’s rich biodiversity.
