Get a close-up view of the rare red colobus monkey at Jozani Forest, Tanzania's only national park on the island of Zanzibar. With mangroves, tropical forests, and coral rag, this 50 sq km (19 sq mi) park also plays home to midget frogs, Sykes' monkeys, bush babies, Aders' duikers, and, reportedly, the legendary Zanzibar leopard. Nocturnal hyraxes here keep company to over 50 species of butterfly and 40 species of birds. Take a safari tour to see red colobuses, emblematic of Zanzibar's conservation efforts.

Definitely worth a visit, very convenient to drive by actually when travelling from Stone Town to the east of the Island (Jambiani in my case). The unique red Colobus monkey is not shy and is happy...

Jozani Forest is definitely worth a visit. Our guide was very diligent in helping us find lots of monkeys to observe. They came very close and we even saw many babies. Wear good shoes for walking through thick brush.

Most tours that you can book at Jozani Forest via the hotel and travel desks in the city visit two sites. At the one you can walk through the forest and see some monkeys at some locations. In general the forest is very clean and you won't see many other animals. We noticed that there were so many tourists walking around with their guides that any animal would actually run away. Additionally we were only walking very close to the road and not that far into the forest, which was disappointing. Next we drove to the mangrove part of the forest. Nice walk but again so many tourists and hardly any animals. As another minus: the toilets at the 2nd spot were quite something. Only two toilets/holes in the ground for so many tourists.
