Jozani Forest, Butterfly Centre and Tortoise Sanctuary
- Day trip
- Private
- About 5 hours
- Zanzibar and the Coast, Tanzania
Overview
Jozani is the island's only national park and the last home of the Zanzibar red colobus. Fewer than a few thousand remain, and they are easily seen here.
The forest walk covers the monkeys, the trees and the mangrove boardwalk, where thousands of black crabs work in the mud below.
Afterwards you visit the butterfly centre nearby, a community project that breeds butterflies for release, along with the chameleons and the tortoises kept there. Lunch is at the restaurant by the park.

Getting there and what to know
Pickup and meeting point
Transport is not included as standard, which keeps the price down. Ask when you enquire and we will quote it from wherever you are staying.
What we will advise you on
Send your dates and group size and we answer all four in the itinerary we send back.
The best months for this trip
Wildlife, rainfall and crowds change month by month, and the right answer is different for a migration trip than for a beach week. We will tell you what your dates mean for what you will see.
Weather and what to pack
Temperature, rain and altitude across the parks on your route, and a packing list for the season you are travelling in rather than a generic one.
Flights and how to get here
Which airport to fly into, whether to drive or fly between parks, and how the internal legs fit together. We will say when flying is worth it and when it is not.
Choosing the right lodges
What each lodge or camp is actually like, how far it sits from the gate, and what the difference between the budget, mid-range and luxury options buys you.
