Jozani Forest, Prison Island and Spice Farm
- Day trip
- Private
- About 7.5 hours
- Zanzibar and the Coast, Tanzania
Overview
Three separate places in a day, which works because they sit on the same side of the island.
Prison Island comes first: a twenty-five minute boat crossing from Stone Town, the Aldabra giant tortoises, the island's history and time to snorkel over the reef where starfish are common.
Then the drive to Jozani for the forest walk and the red colobus, and on to a spice farm where the growers show you the plants and what is done with them. Lunch is included.
Trip highlights
- Giant tortoises on Prison Island
- Snorkelling over the reef and its starfish
- The endemic Zanzibar red colobus in Jozani
- Tasting spices where they grow

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.
