About

Jozani Forest, part of the Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, is the only remaining natural forest in Zanzibar. It's a vital conservation area and a highlight for nature lovers, particularly famous for its endemic red colobus monkeys. These playful and distinctive red colobus monkeys are found nowhere else in the world, making Jozani Forest a crucial habitat for their survival. Visitors can observe them up close in their natural environment, as they are accustomed to human presence. Beyond the monkeys, the park also features a beautiful mangrove boardwalk, offering insights into this unique coastal ecosystem. The forest itself is a rich tapestry of diverse flora and fauna, providing a glimpse into Zanzibar's natural biodiversity. It's an excellent place for wildlife photography and a serene walk.
