We all enjoyed the tour, everything was well organized,very friendly tour guide,we saw many monkeys and my kids were very happy..we had amazing experience will book again next time Thanks a lot pazuri.
I had an amazing experience with Pazuri Zanzibar Tours! Their service was professional, friendly, and well-organized from start to finish. The guides were knowledgeable, always on time, and made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the tour. They took us to beautiful and unique places that I wouldn't have discovered on my own. Everything was handled smoothly – from transport to activities – and they truly care about giving you a memorable Zanzibar experience. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Zanzibar and looking for trusted, local experts. I’ll definitely book with them again!
We made this excursion mainly to see the famous monkeys and so it was. We arrived after a fairly tiring journey, but it was worth it. The monkeys are beautiful and very particular , some even seem to pose. Our guide explained many things including the history of the national park and its peculiarities. Definitely worth seeing for a wild experience
We had a great tour of Jozani Forest, booked through Viator and operated by Pazuri Zanzibar. I highly recommend this tour. The tour in the forest includes walks through fern, mahogany, and mangrove ecosystems. The guides communicate about where the monkeys are so you will find them easily. We saw red Colobus with several frisky babies, and some blue monkeys. No matter who you book with, you will have a Jozani-trained guide once you get to the park. No one can tour the forest without an official park guide. The tour operator will arrange your visit and provide transportation. Our tour-guide driver, Geoffrey, was friendly and safely navigated the often chaotic traffic around town and rutted roads in the park area. He gave us useful information and answered our questions. Overall, a great afternoon!
Nice forest where you can discover black monkeys, warthogs and especially red monkeys who are not afraid to come next to you
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.
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 !
A beautiful tour with the best guide! Extremely well organized and exceeded all my expectations. Will definitely return and would recommended to anyone looking for an amazing 10/10 experience!!
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
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!
