About the Jozani Forest + Spice Tour
Jozani Forest is a tropical nature reserve and home to endemic species, including the Zanzibar red colobus monkey. A park guide will lead you along nature trails lined with eucalyptus and mahogany trees, explaining the forest’s plants and wildlife as you explore.
Continue along the mangrove boardwalk, raised above the swamp, where you may see tropical fish between the roots and crabs across the mud, depending on the tide. Your guide will also explain the medicinal properties of various plants.
After the forest visit, drive to a spice plantation. Experience the aromas and flavours of Zanzibar’s spices, including turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, cloves and nutmeg. Learn how these spices are grown and about their place in the island’s history and cuisine. Seasonal fresh fruit, mineral water and refreshments are included.
