Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park protects one of Zanzibar’s last remaining areas of indigenous forest. Walking here is not about covering distance, but about slowing down enough to notice movement, sound, and the quiet balance between wildlife and habitat.
This guided walk introduces you to the forest through a calm, observational approach. Red colobus monkeys move through the canopy overhead, often close enough to watch their social behavior without intrusion. Along the trail, your guide explains how this forest fits into wider conservation efforts on the island, linking wildlife protection with community awareness and long-term stewardship.
The experience is intentionally flexible. Time spent at any one point depends on what the forest offers that day, a pause to observe monkeys feeding, a moment to listen for bird calls, or a short walk through mangroves that connect the forest to the coast.
