The Jozani Forest is located in the centre of the Jozani-Chwaka Bay National Park, 38 km South-East of Stone Town. The forest is a great place to encounter many indigenous varieties of flora and fauna, including the Zanzibari Red Colobus Monkey.
Other species that you might catch a glimpse of include Blue Sykes’ Monkeys, Bush Pigs, Aders Duiker Antelopes, Elephant Shrews, Chameleons and numerous birds and butterflies. The best time to see the wildlife of Jozani is early in the morning.
Visitors are advised to keep three metres between themselves and any wildlife and are asked not to visit the forest if suffering any cold flu-like symptoms. The monkeys, though susceptible to human diseases, have practically no resistance to them.
