Discover Zanzibar’s natural treasures in a day filled with wildlife, adventure, and unforgettable encounters. This tour combines the magical Jozani Forest, home to the rare Red Colobus monkeys, with the unique experience of swimming alongside friendly sea turtles at the natural lagoon.
Your journey begins in the heart of Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, Zanzibar’s only national park and a sanctuary of biodiversity. Walk through the lush tropical forest as your guide shares stories about its plants, mangroves, and wildlife. The highlight here is meeting the playful and rare Red Colobus monkeys, found only in Zanzibar. You’ll also explore the mangrove boardwalk, where crabs scuttle beneath the roots, and discover the importance of mangroves in preserving the island’s ecosystem.
From the forest, continue to Baraka Natural Aquarium (Salaam Cave) in Nungwi, where a natural lagoon connects to the ocean. Here, rescued sea turtles are cared for until they are strong enough to return to the wild. You’ll have the extraordinary chance to feed and swim with the turtles in their clear, turquoise waters. The experience of being so close to these gentle marine creatures is both thrilling and heartwarming.
This tour is perfect for nature lovers, families, and adventure seekers, offering the best of Zanzibar’s wildlife both on land and in the water. A true highlight of any visit to the island.
