Into the heart of Zanzibar – monkeys, mangroves & a UNESCO wonder

Discover the hidden wonders of Zanzibar’s forests & mangroves

Plan of Your Day

Hotel Pick-up


Begin your morning with a comfortable private taxi pick-up that takes you to the heart of Zanzibar’s lush nature.

🦋 Butterfly & Chameleons


Your first stop is the Butterfly Center, where hundreds of colorful wings surround you. Here you’ll also meet Zanzibar’s charming chameleons — and yes, you’ll even get the chance to gently hold one.

🐒 UNESCO Jozani Forest


Continue to the Jozani Forest, home to the rare and playful Red Colobus monkeys and the curious Blue Sykes monkeys. If you’re lucky, you may even spot the shy and elusive Elephant Shrew hiding among the roots.

🍽️ Lunch with a View


Recharge with a tasty meal at your choice of a vibrant local food court full of flavors or a cozy Italian restaurant by the ocean, where the sea breeze completes the experience.

🌿 Mangrove Forest Boat Ride


End your adventure with a peaceful boat ride through the mysterious mangrove forest. Glide beneath the dense crowns of the trees, discover their unique ecosystem, and — if you wish — take a refreshing swim in the clear waters.
