Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park
Admission included180 min
Jozani Forest is the largest area of indigenous forest on Zanzibar. During a guided journey through the forest you will learn the different species of monkeys unique to Zanzibar. Troops of Zanzibar Red Colobus monkeys can be found scrambling from branch to branch in search of food. The monkeys have become acclimatised to people and allow you to get close enough to capture them in photographs as they eat, play and jump from the treetops.
After visiting the red colobus, you will walk across to the Pete-Jozani Mangrove Boardwalk. It entwines through coral thicket vegetation, mangrove forest and across a creek. You walk through mangrove forest which is extremely crucial to Zanzibar’s ecosystems, providing a habitat for many lizards, snakes and birdlife as well as preventing the coastal erosion.

Not impressed.
Seriously unimpressed. The driver was 10 minutes late. The guide made very little effort to engage me in conversation, and imparted no information. At the forest, he tried to steer me onto the shortest paths. When I asked if he could identify the birds singing, he couldn't. He said that that was on a special birding tour. I gave the guide a mask to wear, but when we arrived at the park, he said it made him 'dizzy.' He didn't put it back on when we were returning to the hotel, but I didn't say anything about it, because he wasn't talking to me anyway.
