Discover the Jewel of the Indian Ocean

This archipelago is a treasure trove waiting to be explored. From lush forests to fragrant spice plantations and historical towns, Zanzibar promises an adventure that will captivate your senses.

Jozani Forest: A Walk on the Wild Side

Our journey begins at Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, Zanzibar’s only national park and a sanctuary for unique wildlife. As you step into the forest, you’ll be enveloped by the earthy aromas and the sounds of chirping birds and rustling leaves. This lush forest harbors the rare Red Colobus monkeys, endemic to Zanzibar, and it’s a privilege to observe them in their natural habitat.

Jozani Forest is a biodiversity hotspot; home to over 40 species of butterflies, various birds, and the stunning mangroves that line the bay.

After a day filled with nature and flavor, we’ll head to the captivating Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stone Town is a labyrinth of narrow alleyways, bustling bazaars, and stunning architecture that reflects a rich history of trade and cultural exchange.

As you wander through the town, your guide will share captivating stories of its past, from the spice trade to the era of sultans and the slave trade. Explore the Old Fort, the House of Wonders, and the historic Freddie Mercury Museum, learning about the legendary musician’s roots in Zanzibar.
