Jozani Forest – Zanzibar’s Natural Treasure

Venture into Jozani Forest, Zanzibar’s only national park and a vital haven for the island’s rich biodiversity. Best known for its playful red colobus monkeys—found nowhere else in the world—this forest once faced the threat of losing these remarkable creatures. Thanks to dedicated conservation efforts, their population is now thriving, offering visitors a rare chance to observe them up close in their natural habitat.

A Journey Through Diverse Ecosystems After encountering the red colobus monkeys, continue your adventure to the Pete-Jozani Mangrove Boardwalk. This winding path leads through coral shrubbery, lush mangrove forests, and across a tranquil river. Mangroves play an essential role in Zanzibar’s ecosystem, providing shelter for reptiles, birds, and marine life, while also protecting the coastline from erosion.

Wildlife & Conservation Just 38 km southeast of Stone Town, Jozani Forest is a mosaic of habitats— swamp forests, evergreen thickets, and thriving mangroves. Keep an eye out for Sykes monkeys, bush pigs, Ader’s duiker, suni antelope, chameleons, and a vibrant array of bird species. As part of the conservation initiative, local communities actively participate in protecting the forest, with visitor fees contributing to ecological preservation and supporting farmers affected by wandering wildlife.

A Natural Pharmacy & Towering Trees Jozani Forest is more than just a scenic retreat—it’s a living pharmacy, with each plant carrying traditional healing properties. The towering trees and swaying palms create a breathtaking spectacle, making this one of Zanzibar’s most awe-inspiring destinations.
