Description

Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from your hotel. Head to Jozani Forest, the largest area of mature forest in Zanzibar, located in the south of the island. Upon arrival, meet your guide and embark on a walking tour through the ancient hardwood forest and mangrove swamps. Keep an eye out for the Red Colobus monkeys, unique to Zanzibar, with less than 2000 remaining in the world. Learn about the diverse wildlife that calls this forest home. After exploring the forest, continue to the Butterfly Centre. Discover the endemic species of Zanzibar’s butterflies and explore every facet of a butterfly's life cycle. Step into the enchanting feeding ritual, where you're welcome to let butterflies grace your hand with their delicate flight. Next, head to Blue Lagoon Zanzibar, a snorkeler’s paradise. The corals are healthy and colorful and they can be accessed easily compared to other snorkeling places of Zanzibar. A variety of colorful reef fishes call this place home, such as leaf fish, mantis shrimps, octopus, squid, moray eels, puffer fish, scorpion fish, lionfish, nudibranch, angel fish, snappers, rainbow runners, jackfish, barracudas, batfish among others. Another reason why Blue Lagoon Zanzibar is special and worth going is because of the highest starfish population. The high number of colored starfishes along the corals are spectacular. During the trip, the traditional wooden boat will be used to get the best local snorkeling experience, and this is also one among the reasons most tourists love snorkeling at Zanzibar Blue Lagoon. After that, depart to starfish tour at Michanvi where you will have chance to swim with starfish with fruits and private guide. End of the tour
