Tour overview

Jozani Forest is the largest remaining area of indigenous forest on Zanzibar Island, offering a unique glimpse into the island’s natural beauty. This two-hour tour takes you to the heart of Jozani-Chwaka Bay National Park, located south of Chwaka Bay. The forest thrives on low-lying, flood-prone land, creating a rich, swamp-like environment perfect for a variety of moisture-loving trees, ferns, and exotic plant species. The forest’s diverse ecosystem is not only breathtaking but also vital for the island’s biodiversity, as it plays a key role in conservation efforts.

A highlight of the Jozani Forest experience is encountering the rare and endemic Zanzibar Red Colobus Monkeys, found only on this island. These monkeys are a true treasure of Zanzibar, and your tour provides the chance to observe them up close in their natural habitat. As they swing through the trees or curiously observe visitors, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to capture memorable photos of these friendly creatures.

In addition to the Red Colobus Monkeys, Jozani Forest is home to an array of other fascinating wildlife, including Sykes monkeys, bush babies, and a variety of bird species. As you walk through the forest, your guide will also introduce you to the incredible mangrove forests, an essential part of Zanzibar’s coastal ecosystem. You’ll learn how these unique trees not only protect the coastline from erosion but also serve as a crucial breeding ground for many marine species. The forest is rich with traditional medicinal plants, and your guide will share insights into the healing properties of various trees and plants used in local treatments.
