Jozani Forest is the only national park in Zanzibar and is home to the indigenous Red Colobus Monkey as well as a protective mangrove ecosystem. The forest is nature‘s pharmacy and a guided tour will teach guests about natural remedies and the importance of the mangrove swamp.
Apart from the Red Colobus Monkey, visitors may see bushbaby, 50 different species of butterfly and 40 species of bird. The main trail takes about an hour. The nearby Zanzibar Butterfly Centre is a community initiative worth a visit.
