Zanzibar: Guided Tour of Jozani Forest and Mangrove Boardwalk

Explore the natural beauty and biodiversity of Jozani Forest on this guided walking tour through Zanzibar’s largest remaining indigenous woodland. Led by an experienced guide, you’ll walk beneath the forest canopy and observe the island’s famous Zanzibar Red Colobus Monkeys as they leap through the trees. This rare species is only found in Zanzibar, and the forest provides a unique opportunity to view them up close.

Beyond the monkeys, the tour offers a deeper look at the local ecosystem, including the swampy mangrove forests that border the reserve. Stroll along an elevated boardwalk through the mangroves while learning about the plant life and the important role the wetlands play in Zanzibar’s environment. This experience is ideal for nature lovers and those interested in the island’s ecological heritage.
