Description

After the trip to the tortoise sanctuary, you´re left to explore the island. If you´re feeling active, you can follow one of the hiking trails, snorkel in the crystal clear waters or soak up some sun on the white beach. Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park is the largest area of mature forest in Zanzibar. A car will take you there,a guide will walk you around the ancient hardwood forest and mangrove swamps. It is home to the Red Colobus monkeys, unique to Zanzibar. A boardwalk around the mangrove swamp at the end of the tour and a visit to the giant turtle sanctuary are also included. Kindly note that the guide can flexibly adjust the route throughout the excursion.
