DETAILS

FULL LENGTH TOUR DESCRIPTION
Nature lovers will enjoy this exploration of the Jozani Forest Reserve. Located 35 kilometres southeast of Zanzibar, it is the largest area of mature forest left on Zanzibar. The forest hosts a sizeable population of the rare Red Colobus Monkey, which is endemic to Zanzibar. With a little bit of luck you may see other animals such as Sykes Monkeys, Bushbabies, Ader’s Duikers, Hyraxes, bushpigs and small bucks. Over 50 species of butterflies and about 40 species of birds are also to be found in this small area. After seeing the forest, take some time to rest or visit the mangroves which are close by and very interesting to see, before returning to the pier.
