Safari summary
On your day trip to Jozani Forest, you will step into the heart of Zanzibar’s nature with a visit to Jozani Forest, the island’s only national park and home to the rare red colobus monkeys. Just a short drive from Stone Town, this lush forest is a peaceful escape filled with towering trees, butterflies and the songs of birds.
Guided by a local expert, you will wander along shaded forest paths, watching the playful red colobus monkeys as they swing through the trees and feed on leaves. These friendly primates are found only in Zanzibar, and seeing them up close is truly a special experience.
The adventure continues on the mangrove boardwalk, where you will walk above the roots of the mangrove forest and learn how this unique ecosystem protects Zanzibar’s coastline and supports marine life. Along the way, you’ll also discover the many plants and trees used by local communities for medicine and daily life.
A visit to Jozani is calm, educational, and full of wonder. It’s an easy half-day tour that’s perfect for families, couples, and anyone who wants to connect with Zanzibar’s natural beauty beyond the beaches. By the time you leave, you’ll carry with you the memory of playful monkeys, peaceful forest trails, and the feeling of being close to nature.
