Review of Zanzibar’s Jozani Forest and Salaam Cave tour, with red colobus monkeys, sea turtles, transport advice, costs, and practical tips.
“Our tour was great. Our guide, Osman, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He taught us a lot about the nature, the animals and the history of Zanzibar. The trip reached our expectations and we would highly recommend this company.”
A full-day Zanzibar tour with dolphins, Jozani monkeys, Kuza Cave, Paje Beach, and The Rock, with private transport and useful cautions.
“The dolphin tour is a bit of a joke with about 50 boats chasing the dolphins as soon as they surfaced. Also a bit dangerous for those who wanted to snorkel. Kuza Cave was neat but you need to advise passengers that ii is a steep deRead more”

See Zanzibar’s red colobus monkeys on a private Jozani Forest walk with hotel pickup, a guide, and a short mangrove visit.
“Der Guide was sehr freundlich und auf die Minute pünktlich. Er wusste genau wo Affen zu finde sind. Ohne Guide kann es schwer werden gerade den roten Affen zu finden.”
See Zanzibar’s rare red colobus monkeys, blue monkeys, and Jozani mangroves on a private three-hour tour with hotel pickup.
“Do not do this activity if it is raining - the monkeys stay high up in the trees so you will not see them up close. Otherwise, guide Joseph was great and pickup from Nungwi was punctual and easy. I recommend wearing shoes rather than flipflops/sliders - you will walk through a jungle.”
Explore Jozani Forest, swim with turtles at Salaam Cave, and visit The Rock Restaurant on a private Zanzibar day tour.
“Schöner Trip über die Insel. Als Tipp für diejenigen die mit den Schildkröten schwimmen gehen, nichts grünes anziehen da sie mit Löwenzahn (glaube ich, jedenfalls grün) gefüttert werden. Auf die Farbe fahren die voll ab und man könnte sonst an Stellen angeknabbert werden die man nicht möchte 🥴😂”
Visit Prison Island, snorkel clear waters, meet giant tortoises, and walk Jozani Forest with its rare red colobus monkeys.
“The conditions for the tortoises on Prison Island are poor. The place is not a sanctuary or a conservation center. The tortoises are kept in a small, fenced area with many tourists. They cannot move freely, and their environment feels unnatural. Overall, it seems more like a prison for tortoises than a place focused on animal welfare or protection. I would skip prison island and only go to jozani forest. The guide and driver, transportation and everything else was great. We got to see red colobus monkeys on their natural habitat in jozani forest.”

See Zanzibar’s red colobus monkeys, swim in Kuza Cave, relax at Paje Beach, and visit The Rock on a flexible private day tour.

Explore Zanzibar’s Jozani Forest, spot red colobus monkeys, learn about native plants, and walk a mangrove boardwalk with hotel pickup.
