Well organized, clean tripical forrest. Entrance fee is 12 USD for a 4 hours trip, defenetly worth it. The guide was quite, but patient and helpful. Defenetly the best experience in Zanzibar.

The only animals u will see is monkeys. The tour guide is more interested in his phone then the visitors and at the end of small walk he will ask you for tips! I have beem to many parks and forests this one was the worst

We visited this National Park with our private guide who was really enthusiastic. We had to join to a group of different tourists and a local guide introduced the area. The Zanzibar red colobus monkeys were funny and mischievous, we enjoyed meeting them. Later we walked in the mangrove forest, which was really interesting. The nature was amazing, we wanted to know as much as possibly about the birds, animals, reptiles and plants, trees of the tropical forest. The quality of your visit largerly depends on the quality of the guide. Unfortunately, ours was not the best. She came with us rather bored and didn’t explain in detail, just in a few words. After the rain she tried to dissuade us from walking in the muddy forest, but we wanted to see it. So we (5-6 tourists) took a short walk. It’s worth, because the mahogany trees, eucalyptus, huge ferns and the blues monkeys were amazing. We expected more but in the end we made the most of the situation.

During our day trip with a hired driver, we ventured to Jozani Forest, a popular destination where all tourists join guided groups upon arrival. The forest, though not exceptionally dense, was aesthetically pleasing, featuring an abundance of Zanzibar red colobus monkeys that added a delightful touch to our visit. The playful antics of the monkeys were particularly entertaining and made the experience truly enjoyable. Following our exploration of the forest, we embarked on a short tour of the mangrove, which added a different dimension to our excursion. In essence, Jozani Forest is undeniably a tourist-centric location, but it stands out as one of the rare places where you can observe the Zanzibar red colobus monkeys in a natural habitat.

It's a lovely ride through the small villages and farms to get to the national park with plenty of things to see. Once at the park it's very disappointing, over crowded, noisy and bus after bus bringing in tourists to see the monkeys. There is no control and visitors are allowed to get too close to the animals. There is also a small walk around a mangrove forest which seemed devoid of life and the visit to a small village to watch dancing.

We were on a group tour from a cruise ship. We went on a short walk through the forest and saw the blue monkeys and red colobus monkeys, nothing else except a squirrel with a very long tail. We also drove to the mangrove area with the wooden bridge, which was interesting to see. There was also a short music and dancing performance by locals.

This was a great late morning activity that took a couple hours. Started with the forest and ended with a walk through the mangroves. Had an absolutely awesome up-close encounter with the red colobus and blue monkey!

We got our hotel to sort a car and driver who took us to the park. You don't need to book an expensive tour, as when you pay you get an excellent local guide. We saw grey monkey, Colobus monkey, elephant shrew and more, all in a one hour visit. At 12 dollars per person it is a good value , must do visit.

If you are doing this trip in isolation then no need to book a tour! Just take a taxi or hire a bike / car, turn up and pay 25k shillings ( you’ll pay about $3 more per person i.e. $12 instead of $9 if you pay in dollars) and off you go in no time with a tour guide. The tour should last about an hour and you will see monkeys as well as crabs and the mangrove swamp. It’s nothing special but if you go as a family the kids should enjoy it. Be warned the guide will ask for a tip even though it’s supposed to be included in the admission price.

The walk in the forrest was nice but our guide was not very informative. For some reason we could not go to the mangrove forrest unfortunately. What remained was a visit to the red back monkeys. On the way we saw a glimpse of the elephant shrew. All in all it was a nice visit but not more than that.
