Description

Discover the natural wonders, wildlife, and rich culture of Zanzibar on this immersive full-day tour. Visit Jozani Forest, home of the rare Red Colobus monkeys, explore Prison Island's giant tortoise sanctuary, and end your day with a sensory experience at a traditional spice farm. Start your full-day adventure by journeying into Jozani Forest, the largest mature forest on Zanzibar Island. Walk beneath towering trees and through lush mangrove swamps with a knowledgeable local guide. Along the way, spot the endangered Red Colobus monkeys, a species unique to Zanzibar with fewer than 2,000 left in the world. Continue your walk along a peaceful mangrove boardwalk, where you’ll discover the unique biodiversity that thrives in these coastal ecosystems. Then, set off by boat to Prison Island — known locally as Changuu. Once a 19th-century detention site for rebellious slaves, the island now hosts a sanctuary of Aldabra giant tortoises. Meet these majestic creatures, including a 200-year-old elder, and learn about their fascinating origin and conservation. Next, visit a vibrant Spice Farm, where Zanzibar’s nickname “The Spice Island” comes alive. Enjoy a guided tour through aromatic gardens where you’ll see, smell, and taste spices like cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, vanilla, and black pepper. Learn how these spices are cultivated and used in local medicine and cuisine. You’ll also sample freshly harvested tropical fruits, straight from the trees to your hands. After this unforgettable journey through Zanzibar’s nature, wildlife, and flavors, your driver will comfortably return you to your hotel. This will be the end of the tour.
