Highlights
- Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park - Your park ranger will take you on a nature trail lined with eucalyptus and mahogany trees, explain the medicinal properties of various plants, and tell you about the animals, birds, and reptiles that make their home in the various habitats of this tropical rainforest. Troops of Zanzibar Red Colobus monkeys can be found scrambling from branch to branch in search of food. The monkeys have become accustomed to people and allow you to get close to them to take photographs as they eat, play, and jump from the treetops. The mangrove boardwalk takes you above the swamp, where, depending on the tide, you can see crabs scuttling across the mud. Mangroves play an important role in environmental conservation and act as a resource for villagers and community life. Your ranger will explain the different species found in the swamp and their uses.
