Jozani forest is the last home of the Zanzibar red colobus monkey. They live nowhere else on earth and they are shameless posers. You walk the forest and the mangrove boardwalk with a park ranger who knows every troop.

From the forest you continue to a spice plantation for the tastings, then into Stone Town for the alleyways and the market.

Nature, agriculture, history. One island, one day.

Abdalla, or one of his trusted friends

Born and raised on Zanzibar. Abdalla guides whenever he can. When he is fully booked, a guide from his own circle steps in. All of them from the island, all of them vetted.

Will we definitely see the monkeys?
Almost certainly. The red colobus live in the park year-round and the rangers know where the troops are. Keep a little distance and they carry on as if you are furniture.
