Discover Zanzibar's only national park — home to the rare red colobus monkeys, mangrove forests, and rich biodiversity.
Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park is Zanzibar's only national park, covering approximately 50 square kilometers of indigenous forest, swamps, and mangroves. Located on the main island of Unguja, the park is a sanctuary for some of the rarest wildlife species in the world, including the endangered Zanzibar red colobus monkeys.
The park is best known for its population of the Zanzibar red colobus monkey (Procolobus kirkii), an endangered species found nowhere else on Earth. These playful and curious monkeys can be observed up close as they move through the trees, feeding on leaves, fruits, and flowers. With approximately 3,000 individuals remaining, the park plays a crucial role in their survival.
In addition to the red colobus monkeys, the park is home to other wildlife including Sykes' monkeys, bush pigs, and a variety of bird species. The park's mangrove boardwalk offers visitors a chance to explore the unique ecosystem of the Chwaka Bay, where colorful crabs, mudskippers, and a variety of birds can be observed. Jozani Forest is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts visiting Zanzibar.
