Overview
If you’re visiting Zanzibar and looking for something that combines nature, adventure, and a little bit of wonder, let us take you on an unforgettable journey to Jozani Forest!
This is the place to experience the wild, natural beauty of Zanzibar.
As the island’s only national park, it’s home to the famous and endangered Red Colobus Monkeys—
trust me,
seeing these little guys up close is a treat!
They’re not shy,
so you’ll have plenty of time to snap some great photos while they swing through the treetops or curiously watch you back.
But the monkeys are just the start!
Jozani Forest is also a vibrant ecosystem filled with towering mahogany trees, exotic birds, butterflies, and even medicinal plants that locals have been using for centuries.
Our guides are experts—not only will they walk you through the lush forest trails, but they’ll also share cool stories about the plants, wildlife, and the cultural significance of the area.
Oh, and here’s something you’ll love:
Jozani isn’t just about the forest.
We’ll also take you to explore the mangrove boardwalk—a peaceful, almost magical place where the tides meet the forest.
The mangroves are critical for Zanzibar’s ecosystem, and walking through them feels like stepping into another world.
This tour is perfect for nature lovers, families, couples—basically, anyone looking to connect with the heart of Zanzibar.
