TOUR ITINERARY

Morning: Departure & Arrival

Your adventure begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in Stone Town or any other location in Zanzibar. As you drive towards Jozani Forest, your guide will provide insightful information about Zanzibar’s unique flora and fauna. The scenic drive takes you through lush landscapes, spice farms, and small coastal villages, offering glimpses of local life.

Upon arrival at Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, you will be welcomed by a professional park ranger who will lead your guided tour through the ancient tropical rainforest.

Exploring the Forest Trails

Step into a world of towering trees, twisted lianas, and the rhythmic sounds of the forest. The well-maintained trails allow you to immerse yourself in nature while your guide shares fascinating details about the medicinal plants and indigenous tree species found in the park.

One of the highlights of the tour is the endemic Zanzibar red colobus monkey, a rare and playful primate found only on the island. You’ll have the chance to observe them up close as they leap through the treetops and interact with each other. Your guide will explain the conservation efforts in place to protect these endangered species.

Mangrove Boardwalk Experience

After exploring the rainforest, the tour continues to the Jozani Mangrove Swamps, an essential ecosystem that protects Zanzibar’s coastline from erosion and provides a habitat for a variety of marine life. Walking along the wooden boardwalk, you will spot crabs, fish, and other creatures thriving in this brackish water environment. Your guide will also explain the importance of mangroves in maintaining the balance of coastal biodiversity.

Midday: Return & Optional Stop

Following the forest tour, you will have the opportunity to stop by a local village or spice farm (optional) to learn more about Zanzibar’s culture and traditions before returning to your hotel.
