Jozani Forest

Jozani is Zanzibar’s largest forest. It’s a dense jungle without human management, except they run guided walking tours. The highlight are probably the red colobus monkeys that jump from treetop to treetop at high speeds, but they also have miniature frogs that fit on a thumbnail (at the tip of the leaf below), black monkeys, scary millipedes and more.

They also have a mangrove forest. The trees here rest om wild tangles of black roots that filter the brackish water.

There is also a nearby butterfly farm, which also keeps chameleons. The chameleons can’t escape because of an embarrassingly low wall that one can easily step over.
