About Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park (Zanzibar)
Jozani-Chwaka Bay is Zanzibar's only national park, protecting a rare stretch of indigenous forest between the mangrove-fringed Chwaka Bay and the island's southeast coast. Its celebrity resident is the Zanzibar red colobus, a monkey found nowhere else on earth, which forages in relaxed troops just metres from the walking trails. A raised boardwalk loops through the mangroves, and guided walks reveal Sykes' monkeys, bush babies, over 40 bird species and the forest's remarkable medicinal plants. It pairs naturally with a beach stay on the east coast.
