A guided walk through groundwater forest where red colobus troops feed close to the path.
A mangrove boardwalk over the tidal forest at Chwaka Bay.
Easy walking, shade and great photography.
Overview
The Zanzibar red colobus lives only on this island, and Jozani is where you meet it. The monkeys are used to visitors and let you watch them feed and play at close range.
The tour combines well with a spice farm or a stop at a beach on the way back. See Jozani Forest for the park.
