Jozani Forest Tour Zanzibar

Safari summary

Jozani Forest Tour Zanzibar is a guided nature experience through Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, the only national park in Zanzibar and one of the island’s most important natural conservation areas. The forest is best known as the home of the rare and endangered Zanzibar Red Colobus Monkey, a species found nowhere else in the world.

The tour takes visitors along well-maintained nature trails that pass through lush tropical forest, mangrove ecosystems, and wetlands. Along the walk, visitors can observe Red Colobus Monkeys in their natural habitat, often seen moving freely among the trees or near the paths. Other wildlife commonly encountered includes Sykes’ monkeys, bush babies, butterflies, and a wide variety of bird species.

Knowledgeable local guides provide detailed explanations about the forest’s ecosystem, biodiversity, and conservation efforts. Visitors learn about the medicinal plants, indigenous trees, and the importance of protecting Zanzibar’s remaining forest areas. A highlight of the tour is the mangrove boardwalk, which offers insight into the ecological role of mangroves in coastal protection and marine life support.

Jozani Forest Tour Zanzibar is a relaxed walking experience suitable for nature lovers, families, and eco-tourism enthusiasts. The tour can be arranged as a private or small-group experience and is ideal for travelers seeking wildlife encounters, environmental education, and a peaceful escape into Zanzibar’s natural landscape.
