Jozani Forest (Half Day)

After transfer you proceed to Jozani Forest, the largest conservation area in Zanzibar and the
only remaining natural mangrove forest on the island, the Jozani Chwaka Bay Conservation Area
is renowned for its hairy ape residents, the Red Columbus Monkey. Endemic to Zanzibar,
visitors come from far and wide to view the highly endangered Red Columbus Monkey, now
numbering only 1500. Due to large-scale cultivation, firewood collection, harvesting building
materials and charcoal and lime making, Zanzibar’s forests have been largely depleted, making
the Jozani Chwaka Bay conservation area a significant natural landscape. Nature lovers can walk
through the 100 different towering tree species and marvel at the rich variety of birdlife and other
small wildlife that inhabit the cool woodland area.
The tour could be in the morning or in the afternoon.
