Great tour! We got to see all the important sites in Stone Town such as the old market and the Slave Trade Exhibition Site. Our guide even went the extra mile and took us up to a 360 viewpoint of Stone Town. All our questions were patiently answered. If you want to try local sugar cane juice, he knows the best places!

! If you're looking to immerse yourself in Zanzibar's natural beauty, Jozani Forest is a must-visit. As the island’s only national park, it offers an unforgettable experience, blending lush greenery, wildlife, and a tranquil atmosphere. The walk through the forest is serene, with the canopy offering welcome shade. The highlight of the tour is undoubtedly the chance to see the endangered Zanzibar Red Colobus monkeys. These friendly creatures are a joy to observe as they swing through the trees. The knowledgeable guides are fantastic, providing interesting insights into the forest's ecosystem and the conservation efforts in place. Aside from the monkeys, you’ll also encounter diverse plant species, mangrove swamps, and other wildlife. The forest is well-maintained, and the paths are easy to navigate, making it suitable for all ages. Don’t forget to take your camera – the scenery is breathtaking! Jozani Forest is a perfect escape from the beaches, offering a peaceful and enriching experience. Highly recommend!

Loved the forest walks and the blue and red monkeys of Zanzibar. The Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park is a 50 km² national park in Tanzania located on the island of Zanzibar. The forest features an abundance of unique Zanzibar red colobus monkeys… The blue monkey is the Sykes’ monkey - also known as the white-throated monkey or Samango monkey. That is an old world monkey named after English naturalist Colonel William Henry Sykes (1790-1872), and has a large white patch on the throat and upper chest, and a grizzled (not blackish) cap.

Ali the professional tour guide of Zanzibar is amazing. He guided us walked through all the heritage sites of stone town, explained all the histories to us very well. I would recommend to you when you visit Zanzibar.

Visiting the Jozani Forest requires you to hire a guide. Your experience will depend on the quality/enthusiasm of the guide with whom you happen to be paired. The tour encompasses three separate portions which require a drive from one to the next. You start with a short walk through the forest around the check-in site. The path was well-maintained. Our guide stopped occasionally to point out various plants with traditional medicinal uses. We did see one monkey during this part. Across the main road down a rugged dirt road to a different part of the forest with a more grown-in walking path is where you can see the red colobus monkeys. We saw at least two dozen, old and young. They seemed unperturbed by our group’s presence and came within a meter of us, but kept to their own business jumping around and eating leaves. There were plenty of opportunities for photos. Driving further down the dirt road takes you to the mangroves. There was a sturdy boardwalk and here our guide explained about the monkeys as well as the ecological significance of these plants. Seeing the monkeys was memorable, but the other parts didn’t add much. Hard to say whether the fee of $12 US is worth it for the 1.5-hour visit.

A waste of money. Dont waste your time or money. Unless you want to see Columbus red monkeys desperately, this is a waste of time. You walk 10 minutes, look at the monkeys. Then 10 more minutes for the mangrove. They charge you $12 entry fee plus the transport.

Sefi our guide was amazing, really committed to let us have the best experience. Jozani forest is beautiful! Highly recommend!

We took a tour at Jozani forest, our guide was very knowledgeable and showed us everything about the plants and wildlife of the forest. We had a great time, even the taxi driver showed us landmarks and discussed local history, politics and culture. Overall a very nice experience!

柔軟な対応をしてもらいました。蝶を見たいと伝えたところ、戸惑いながらもたくさん見せてくれました。また来たいです。 He was flexible with my requests. When I said I wanted to see butterflies, he showed me many jungle butterflies. We also had the option to visit the butterfly center on the way back. I was able to take some great pictures of frogs, dragonflies, butterflies, and monkeys.

As a protector of Zanzibar's natural wonders, your guide imparts the importance of conservation, making this forest excursion more than a trek—it's a journey into biodiversity preservation.

Very interesting. We learned a lot about how the different spices can be used. Our guide knew all the names of the spices in 7 or 8 different languages which made it easy to understand what spices we saw

A tour to Jozani forest with my sister. Though under strong and heavy tropical rain, Seif did his best to show us the animals and forest. It was an unforgettable experience. Asante sana Seif.

I could get pick up from hotel + tour of Stone town even though I contacted paradise tours at the very last minute. Every one was very nice and helpful
