With its mangrove forests and saltmarshes the Jozani Forest National park is an extremely rich mosaic of Zanzibar's diverse natural habitats, including rare, endemic and endangered species. Jozani Forest is home to the rare sub-species of the Red Colobus Monkey, which only occurs on Zanzibar. The monkeys roam freely and you can get wonderful close up views and photos. The reserve is made easily accessible via its nature trail and well trained guides.

The main purpose of the National Park is conserving the forest and its surrounding environment. This is achieved, in partnership with local communities in many different forms, from educational activities through to practical tasks such as mangrove replanting.
