Jozani Forest & Village Tour

To get acquainted with Zanzibar’s people and authentic traditions, there is no better place nor better insight than an excursion to Muyuni village in the southern district of Zanzibar and an incursion into the lifestyle of its people.
Discover local culture, traditions and artisanship as you interact with the villagers while they are at their skillful activities of mat and basket weaving, Makuti plating and rope making.

At the local Ngonga Cave, you will also get the opportunity to admire nature’s own artistry, chiseled and carved out by years of weathering into mesmerizing subterranean hallways, cavities and corridors

Ngonga Cave is the sanctuary of vampire bats, more scary for their name than in reality. More eerie still, local folklore has it that this cave is also a favourite with spirits and ghosts. Will you dare find out for yourself?

Jozani Forest is part of the Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, a 50 Km2 expanse thriving with a wealth of native wildlife in diverse forms – from swamp forest to evergreen thicket and mangrove.

In this sanctuary, you can spend a couple of hours wandering amidst the exotic vegetation, closely sight the indigenous flora and approach the Red Colobus monkeys that are endemic to Unguja. Good-natured and good-humoured, they allow visitors to get close to them as they frolick playfully around.
