Zanzibar historic Stone Town and Jozani Forest private tour

4.5/5
5 reviews

This private full-day tour takes you first into the island’s only national park to walk along its nature trails and amongst some fascinating wildlife. You’ll arrive at the forest in Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park in the mid-morning ready to step foot on territory that’s home to endangered red colobus monkeys, bushbabies, duikers, butterflies, and birds. And once you’ve got your eye trained on the treetops, you’ll be in for a chance of spotting these elusive creatures as you make tracks through the park.

Afterward, you'll head to Stone Town. This UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts African, Indian, European and Arabic influences, making it a beguiling place to explore. Your guide will lead you around while pointing out landmarks such as Darajani Market, the main bazaar in Zanzibar, as well as the former slave market and Forodhani Gardens where you’ll be greeted by views over the House of Wonders – a former sultan’s palace. There's also a pit stop at the Tanzanite Museum, where you'll explore the history of Tanzania's famous Tanzanite gemstone, a unique treasure found only in the country.

Meanwhile, your guide will fill you in on popular inhabitants such as Princess Salme, Farrokh Bulsara and Bi Kidude. Last but not least, you’ll pass by the Old Fort before finishing up with some craft and souvenir shopping.

    Authentische Führung durch Stone Town, die Stadt selbst in halt klein und hat nicht viel zu bieten. Führung durch Jozani-Forest und Mangroven war gut, aber teils sehr voll, so dass kein wirkliches Feeling eintrat. Sehenswert aber allemal. Der Guide Saleh war erste Klasse. Super kompetent und nett!

    Better than expected. Private trip with just us and a guide Guide was so knowledgeable as well as being a lovely person. Seemed to know everyone as we walked around Stone Town
