Discover the Enchanting Jozani Forest, Home of Rare Red Colobus Monkeys

Jozani Forest is renowned for its elusive Red Colobus Monkeys (Piliocolobus kirkii). It stands as a captivating and essential destination during your Zanzibar visit. Upon arriving in this tropical paradise the unique allure of Jozani Forest will astound you. The national park presents itself adorned with palm trees, shrubs, and flame trees. It boasts grand trees, rare flora, and an array of remarkable wildlife.

As the first and only National Park on Zanzibar, this forest thrives in a small area between the mangrove bays of Uzi and Chwaka. A high water level and seasonal flooding sustain this eco system by providing vital nutrients amidst the challenging conditions of a coral island.

Your adventure in Jozani Forest promises an array of highlights, including:

• The Mangrove Boardwalk
• Nature Trail Exploration
• Fascinating Sykes’ Monkeys
• Hundreds of Exquisite Butterfly Species
• Graceful Sunbirds
• Elusive Aders’ Duikers (an exceedingly rare and shy animal – a fortunate sight for the lucky few)
• Encounter with the captivating Red Colobus Monkeys

Upon request, we can easily arrange transfers to and from the forest. Prices depend on the number of cars required (accommodating up to six people per car) and your chosen pick-up and drop-off locations. Upon arrival, you have the option to embark on a self-guided tour or join one of our expert guides for a more insightful experience.
