Start your day with a scenic drive from Stone Town or your coastal resort to Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, the only national park in Zanzibar, renowned for its rich biodiversity. Upon arrival, your guide will provide a brief introduction to the park’s unique ecosystem before you embark on a guided nature walk through the lush Jozani Forest. As you wander beneath towering mahogany and eucalyptus trees, keep an eye out for the rare and endemic Zanzibar Red Colobus Monkeys, which are found only on the island. These playful primates are accustomed to visitors, allowing for incredible photo opportunities.

Continuing deeper into the forest, explore the mangrove boardwalk, an elevated wooden pathway winding through a thriving mangrove swamp. Here, your guide will explain the crucial role mangroves play in protecting Zanzibar’s coastline and sustaining marine life. Look out for fiddler crabs, mudskippers, and a variety of bird species as you soak in the tranquil atmosphere.

Next, take a leisurely stroll to the Pete-Jozani community area, where you’ll learn about local conservation efforts and sustainable tourism projects that support the surrounding villages. If time permits, visit a nearby butterfly center, where you can admire colorful species native to Zanzibar.

After an immersive nature experience, enjoy a delicious local lunch at a nearby restaurant or picnic spot before heading back to your hotel. As your tour concludes, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation of Zanzibar’s diverse ecosystems and the ongoing efforts to protect its wildlife. This half-day or full-day excursion is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to experience Zanzibar beyond its beaches.
