Great trip - We booked the trip privately on site with our good friend Captain Piilo from Nungwi. Contact is always quick and uncomplicated and everything runs smoothly +255 622 227 709 (Whatsapp) The trip is quite long, but with Piilo it doesn't get boring. To our surprise, he assigned us a German-speaking guide - Said. We found that very thoughtful, as we hadn't asked for it. Great! First we went for a nice walk in the forest. You could see some monkeys romping around in the trees. The forest is beautiful. We had taken the mosquito spray with us for free, there were no insects at least that day. After that we went to the mangroves. Absolutely worth seeing. After that we looked for and found the monkeys in another part of the forest. We took great photos there and with Said it was always very informative.

beautiful encounter - We came there by taxi. A very beautiful place where you can get up close and personal with the endemic monkeys, the Zanzibar red colobus. A nice half day of walking and seeing other things but not walking very well, we didn't see everything. It’s a great meeting. Don't bring anything to eat, they have a special diet that they find in nature so let's forget the eternal banana. it's no !

Jozani Forest - Jozani Forest, it's one of the best places to visit here in Zanzibar. You will see a lot of Red Colobus Monkeys which are so friendly and Blue Monkeys. You can spend almost 3 hours visiting the Forst/Mangroves and watching Monkeys

Amazing & reliable service! Don’t miss out..! - I visited in August coming from London, UK having found Pazuri Zanzibar & seeing their reviews I booked with them & thank God! Zanzibar is paradise but definitely difficult to get around, whilst it is safe Pazuri Zanzibar made it feel so safe & easy! Booked Essque Zalu amazing hotel & food. Visiting places like Prison Island etc was a breeze & so enjoyable! Highly recommend this service! Happy holidays! Thank you Pazuri!

Breathtaking Znz - Definitely the best part of our trip to Tanzania. This was our first time in Znz and I am so glad we chose Pazuri Zanzibar. Shahzma was an unbelievable tour guide, she went above and beyond to ensure our trip was nothing short of phenomenal. She had recommendations (hidden gems) that we would not have even found if we did not book through her. Her articulate service showed she was well versed in this industry. I will forever cherish this experience, and when I do come back to Znz I will absolutely make sure I book Pazuri Zanzibar again. Book Pazuri Zanzibar, it is worth every penny!

Nice experience - Very nice to see the monkeys. It is disturbing that tourists do not follow the rules and still try to pet the monkeys. It was quite busy. Monkeys didn't really care and did their own thing. The walk through the different types of forest was very special. Mangrove and then the piece of forest that grows on the coral, so you see all kinds of trees that have been blown over because they cannot take root, very beautiful. ewe

The Best Place - Pazuri Zanzibar is the best, as the name suggests. We had such a wonderful experience, I still remember the smiling face of my tour guide welcoming with her ‘Jambo’ greeting (how are you in Swahili) If you’re planning to visit Africa, Zanzibar is the place, and for those who reach Zanzibar you should take a trip to Pazuri
