Tour to Jozani Forest and Dolphin SpottingYou are warmly welcome to our tours; your guide will pick you up from the hotel.Jozani Forest Walking tour A walk through this impressive flora and fauna is one of the highlights Zanzibar has to offer. Jozani Forest is home of the red colobus monkey and other species including Sykes monkeys, small buck, chameleon and bush pigs. The exclusive Zanzibar leopard (last seen several years ago) is said to feed here at night (perhaps therefore the reserve is only open during the day?) Jozani has an excellent nature trail and the guides are well trained and informative. Dolphins spotting and Jozani Forest Walking Tour This is a great combination of the two activities. Your tour starts from the fishermen village of Kizimkazi, it’s on the southernmost of the Island. Kizimkazi fishing village is the home of several schools of bottle-nosed dolphins and Humpback dolphins, which are sighted following a short boat trip from the village. You will see fishermen at the shore while you are on the motorboat going to view, snorkel and spot the dolphins with 80% chance. Enjoy the Indian Ocean, snorkel at a beautiful reef and swim with the dolphins! The adventure will then continue in the middle of a wild exotic native green forest, the Jozani forest reserve. It lies between Chwaka bay and Uzi bay and it is the only remaining natural forest of Unguja. Jozani forest represents a very important refuge for the fauna of the island. Once the whole of the Island was covered in a rich tapestry of swamp forest, evergreen thicket and mangrove now all that remains in Jozani Forest. Jozani Forest still boasts an eclectic biodiversity, with many strange and wonderful animals residing in and below the canopy of old giants. The red colobus monkeys are the most famous inhabitants of the forest, a sub-species only found on this island. They can be seen calmly lazing around or fooling among themselves in the branches. But keep your eyes open and you may be lucky enough to see Sunnis (small deer), chameleons and bush pigs. |
