Jozani Forest is Zanzibar’s only remaining natural forest and one of the island’s most important conservation areas. This guided nature walk with Future African Safari offers travelers a chance to experience Zanzibar’s wild side, just a short drive from the coast.
Explore Zanzibar’s Protected Forest
The tour takes place inside Jozani Forest, part of Jozani–Chwaka Bay National Park. Walking beneath tall trees and thick vegetation, visitors discover a peaceful environment filled with birds, insects, and unique plant species found only on the island.
Encounter the Red Colobus Monkey
One of the main highlights is seeing the endangered red colobus monkey, a species found only in Zanzibar. These monkeys move freely through the forest and are often seen jumping between trees or resting close to walking paths, allowing for excellent photos and close observation.
Mangrove Boardwalk Experience
The tour continues through a mangrove swamp via a wooden boardwalk. Here, the guide explains how mangroves protect the coastline and support marine life. Visitors can spot small fish, crabs, and shrimp in the shallow waters below.
Learn About Local Flora & Ecosystems
