BUTTERFLY CENTRE & JOZANI FOREST TOURS

FULL DAY

Speaker 1

The best tour.

This 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.

The Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park is a 50 Km2 national park located on Zanzibar island. It is the only national park in Zanzibar. This forest is inhabited by the Zanzibar Red Colobus, an endemic monkey species that exists only in Zanzibar. Jozani Forest boasts a rich diversity of native wildlife, including swamp forest, evergreen thicket and mangrove. Red colobus monkeys are endemic to Unguja. These monkeys are very playful and you can easily get close to them. Monkeys can be seen frolicking amongst the exotic indigenous flora. Spend some time wandering through the forest and discover its hidden secrets.
