Jozani is the last of the island forest and the only place to see the red colobus, which is found nowhere else on earth. The 15 below differ mainly on what shares the day: the mangrove boardwalk, a cave swim, or the drive on to the east coast.

Review of Zanzibar’s Jozani Forest and Salaam Cave tour, with red colobus monkeys, mangroves, sea turtles, pricing, tips, and practical advice.

“We had an amazing day! Hussein was fantastic, so friendly, knowledgeable, and really made the whole experience enjoyable. The trip was well organised from start to finish and everything ran so smoothly. We started the day at Jozani Forest, which was such a special experience. Walking through the forest and seeing the red colobus monkeys up close was incredible, Hussein gave us lots of interesting facts about the wildlife and the area too, which made it even better. After that, we visited Salaam Cave where we saw the sea turtles. Overall, it was a brilliant day out, filled with amazing sights and really good company. I’d definitely recommend this trip…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 80 reviews · 3 hours · from $99

See Zanzibar’s red colobus monkeys on a private Jozani Forest tour with hotel pickup, a guide, mangroves, and flexible cancellation.

“Do not do this activity if it is raining - the monkeys stay high up in the trees so you will not see them up close. Otherwise, guide Joseph was great and pickup from Nungwi was punctual and easy. I recommend wearing shoes rather than flipflops/sliders - you will walk through a jungle.”

“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 🥴😂”

7.Prison Island, Tortoise, Jozani Forest Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 68 reviews · 6 - 8 hours · from $100

Review of Zanzibar’s Prison Island and Jozani Forest tour, with tortoises, red colobus monkeys, snorkeling, transport tips, and honest value advice.

“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.”

Review of Zanzibar’s Jozani Forest and spice farm tour, with village walks, red colobus monkeys, pilau lunch, transport, and practical tips.

“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…”
