They playing freely through the reserve and they can be spotted at close distance. You will also enjoy the fresh air during walking the big red mahogany trees and eucalyptus. If you are lucky enough you may see Sunnis (small deer), chameleon or even the famous Zanzibar Fischer’s Turaco bird!!

Expensive for the experience, not well organized tbh, but ok. We felt that as we were only 2 people, they were in a hurry to finish and take a bigger group (more tips)
Hello Elena, Thank you very much for your review and we are very sorry that you didn't enjoy it as much as you expected. The park is enough to explore for 1.5 hours. Although we have longer route but you must place a special request for longer tour. Hope you well understand and maybe book the longer tour in your next visit. Asante Sana!
The drive from our hotel was interesting because we passed so many interesting villages, schools, and markets. Excellent driver. I really liked the park ranger who gave us the tour through the forest. I could tell he is committed to conservation. I recommend going in the morning. The monkeys are more active then. We did not opt for the night tour but it sounded interesting.
We had a great time on the Jozani forest tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much information and history with us, and getting to see the monkeys at play, up close and personal was an amazing experience.
This is not a criticism of the good guide, the pick-up service and the tour itself were well organized and very informative. Unfortunately it was shorter than stated, we would have liked to have spent much longer in the forest. We also had to pay $50 extra for the pick-up service. Overall, the price-performance ratio is rather poor. So we have a very good and friendly guide (1) combined with a 6 in price. Overall, a satisfactory rating!
Dear Alex, Thank you very much for your good review and we are pleased to hear that you have enjoyed your tour. For the extra transport payment it is well explained in the booking form. Thank you very much, Hamza.
Jozani is a must visit when traveling to Zanzibar, particularly with Halisi Tours (and Hamza is their top guide!). The monkeys were fascinating to watch and learn about, as was the mango grove. An extraordinary nature experience close to Stone Town.
Thanks, Amanda It was wonderful to be with you on the trip, hope you enjoyed your stay in Zanzibar with Halisi Tours. Asante sana!
Halisi Africa Tours is the best company I have found on the island of Zanzibar. We visited Jozani Forest and mangrove with our guide Hamza for a half day tour and loved it. The company goes beyond normal tour agencies and makes you feel like family. We loved seeing the Red Colobus monkeys, walking through the beautiful forests of mahogany, strangler fig, and Eucalyptus and dropping early seedlings into the mangrove. Highly recommend this lovely visit with Halisi Tours!
Thank you Michele, it was very good being with you on the tour. You are very kind and nice above all it was fun! Asante Sana!
