Tanzania Safari Tours & Africa Adventures
Walk Zanzibar's last great forest to meet the endemic red colobus monkey — found nowhere else on Earth — and mangrove boardwalks.
Jozani is Zanzibar’s only national park and the last sizeable patch of the indigenous forest that once covered the island. Its star is the Zanzibar red colobus — an endemic monkey found nowhere else on the planet, and unusually relaxed around visitors, so close encounters are almost guaranteed.
A guided walk takes you through the forest among the colobus troops, then onto a raised boardwalk through a tidal mangrove swamp, explaining the ecology along the way. It’s an easy, shaded half-day and a refreshing change from the beach.

Your guide explains the forest and conservation story.
The most reliable wildlife encounter on the island and a genuine conservation success story — the colobus are easy to see and wonderfully photogenic. It's an easy half-day; combine it with the southeast beaches or a spice tour. Keep a respectful distance from the monkeys despite their tameness.
