Zanzibar

BUTTERFLY CENTRE, JOZANI FOREST & THE ROCK TOURS

FULL DAY

Speaker 1

The best tour.

The beautiful Zanzibar Butterfly Centre near Jozani- Chwaka Bay National Park is the community project aims to protect endangered species of butterflies, to educate both local people and visitors, and to provide an income for villagers. Set in 5000 sq/ft of beautiful gardens only 5 minutes by car from the Jozani Forest, it offers the opportunity to see butterflies very close (they might even settle on your hand!), to feed them and to learn all about their fascinating life cycle

Jozani Forest’s 44 sq km, about 3% of the whole island, comprise groundwater forest, coastal forest and grassland, as well as mangroves and salt marsh on the coast. It provides a habitat for a wide variety of mammals, birds and butterflies. A walk through this impressive flora and fauna is one of the highlights Zanzibar has to offer. The reserve has excellent nature trails, and our English, French, Spanish, Italian and German speaking guides are well trained and informative.

You will also head a little further South East to a beautiful beach right opposite of the world famous “The Rock”! Relax and unwind on a superb beach. Take some pictures of this unique place, chill with the amazing view of the coral formations and have lunch if you want before you turn back around towards your hotel.
