Tanzania · JOZANI FOREST AND RED COLOBUS MONKEYS
20 reviewed
The Zanzibar red colobus lives nowhere else on earth, and roughly two thirds of them live in Jozani, close enough to the path that no long lens is needed. The mangrove boardwalk across the road is the quieter half of the visit. These 15 Jozani tours cover the guided walks and the combinations with Kuza Cave, Paje and the turtle sanctuaries.
Half-day Jozani Forest and Salaam Cave sea turtles. See red colobus monkeys, mangrove crabs, then swim close to turtles.
“Really interesting, went at a nice pace, and feeding the turtles was wonderful.”
Private Zanzibar day: dolphin cruise, Jozani red colobus, Kuza Cave Swahili story, Paje sunset, and The Rock views.
“The dolphin tour is a bit of a joke with about 50 boats chasing the dolphins as soon as they surfaced. Also a bit dangerous for those who wanted to snorkel. Kuza Cave was neat but you need to advise passengers that ii is a steep deRead more”

Guided 3-hour walk through Jozani Forest to spot red monkeys and mangroves, with hotel pickup in Zanzibar.
“Die Abholung verlief problemlos und pünktlich. Die Tour ging relativ schnell vorbei und man hätte sich doch an der ein oder anderen Stelle etwas mehr Erklärungen gewünscht bzw. einen längeren Aufenthalt in den jeweiligen Waldabschnitten.”
Private 3-hour Jozani Forest tour to spot Zanzibar’s red colobus monkeys and mangroves, with hotel pickup, guide, entry fees, and water.
“Una delle viste più care e più corte fatte nell’isola. Con lo stesso prezzo abbiamo fatto esperienze molto migliori e con guide più qualificate. 30 euro sarebbero anche troppi. Quasi 90 un furto.”
See Zanzibar wildlife in Jozani Forest, swim with turtles in Salaam Cave Aquarium, then dine at The Rock Restaurant. Hotel pickup included.
“Schöner Trip über die Insel. Als Tipp für diejenigen die mit den Schildkröten schwimmen gehen, nichts grünes anziehen da sie mit Löwenzahn (glaube ich, jedenfalls grün) gefüttert werden. Auf die Farbe fahren die voll ab und man könnte sonst an Stellen angeknabbert werden die man nicht möchte 🥴😂”
Zanzibar’s Prison Island tortoises, coral snorkeling time, then Jozani Forest for red colobus monkeys and mangrove boardwalks, with hotel pickup.
“The conditions for the tortoises on Prison Island are poor. The place is not a sanctuary or a conservation center. The tortoises are kept in a small, fenced area with many tourists. They cannot move freely, and their environment feels unnatural. Overall, it seems more like a prison for tortoises than a place focused on animal welfare or protection. I would skip prison island and only go to jozani forest. The guide and driver, transportation and everything else was great. We got to see red colobus monkeys on their natural habitat in jozani forest.”
Swim Kuza Cave freshwater, snorkel with turtles at Salaam Cave, see red colobus in Jozani Forest, unwind at Paje Beach.
“I loved swimming with the turtles. But the whole day was good. Suggestion would be to bring water shoes and not wear green bathing suits.”

Eco private day trip from Zanzibar City: colobus monkeys in Jozani, a Kuza cave swim, Paje beach time, and The Rock lunch options.
“I spent one day with James who was very friendly, helpful and informative. Paje Beach and the Rock are beautiful, and the cave is very interesting and unique. Jozani Forest is a little bit disappointing because of the crowd.”
A private Zanzibar day tour packed with Mnemba dolphin snorkeling, Jozani red colobus, Kuza Cave swim, Paje Beach time, and a meal stop.
“Abdullah (tour guide) and Charles (our driver) were both so amazing. I can't say enough good things about both of them. Very informative not just about history but about current events, the economy, the ecology of the islands. They never pulled us away even if we were taking a little too long and helped us adjust our itinerary to spend more time where we wanted. We felt very comfortable and safe the whole day and they were extremely accommodating.”

Private Zanzibar 10-hour day with Jozani Red Colobus, sea turtles in Salaam Cave, Kuza Cave swim, Stand Up Paddle, and The Rock views.
“La forêt de Jozani vaut le coup. Mais on avait déjà fait du snorkeling, alors pour nous c’était pas passionnant. Un guide au TOP malgres que la journée a étais longue.”
6-hour Zanzibar tour pairing Jozani Forest with a spice farm and lunch, plus red colobus monkeys, mangroves, and tropical fruits.
“Nuestro guía Ramadán fue muy bueno y nos explicó de manera muy didáctica las especias, plantas y frutas que nos mostró. Se tomó el tiempo de contestar a todas nuestras preguntas, y era muy simpático. Su asistente Mohamed nos hizo bonitas creaciones con hojas de palmera ( coronas, collares). La comida local sentados en el suelo fue muy buena experiencia también. Se puede comprar especias, jabones, perfumes. Luego fuimos al bosque de Jozani para ver los monos. Son muy bonitos pero están al lado del parking, no hay ni que buscarlos en el bosque. Allí el guía era otro ( no me acuerdo el nombre), y hablaba muy rápido y…”
