Jozani Forest is the largest area of indigenous forest on the island of Zanzibar. Located south of Chwaka Bay on low-lying land, the area is prone to flooding, feeding a lush swampy environment of moisture-loving trees and ferns. The entire area is protected as Jozani-Chwaka National Park and is home to populations of Zanzibar's red colobus monkey (an endangered species found only on Zanzibar), as well as other monkey species, bushbabies, divers and more than 40 species of birds.
There is an information centre at the park headquarters and the main activity is to follow the forest nature trail (the walk takes about 45 minutes). Nearby is a boardwalk through the mangroves along the creek.
The park's gateway and information centre (plus a small café and some craft stalls) is 35 km south-east of Zanzibar town, just off the road to Paje. Most people come on an organised tour, but you can also get here by bus 309 or 310 from Paje or Zanzibar Town.
When observing the monkeys, park staff recommend not getting closer than 3 metres, for your safety and the safety of the animals. Besides the risk of being bitten, there is great concern that if the monkeys were to contract a human disease, this could quickly wipe out the already endangered population.
Stone Town on Zanzibar has an unmistakable Arab atmosphere. The Sultan of Oman made the town flourish centuries ago. But you will also find art nouveau and Victorian architecture. The muezzin calls for prayer from a minaret. You take another hearty sip of an ice-cold beer in the shadow of the stone city. You sit on the terrace of a Victorian villa in Zanzibar. Across the street, you look into a maze of narrow alleys. They are often cul-de-sacs that nevertheless have countless side branches before their end. Side streets that in turn lead to inner piers. Green overgrown, with peeling paint in pastel shades.
Stone Town has an Arabic feel to it. You imagine yourself in Damscus, or Lahore perhaps. Not in East Africa. Its winding alleys, mosaics and Omani palaces catch the eye. Yet you'll also find Portuguese chapels and Anglican cathedrals.
Zanzibar is also known as the 'Spice Island'. The Stone City is the old centre of the tropical island off the coast of Tanzania, three hours by boat from Dar Es Salaam The archipelago's white palm fronds, in all their irresistibility, lure you like sirens during the crossing. Yet you would do well to stay in the old town just a little longer. It is the accumulation of cultural treasures that makes Stone Town so special. The remains of Persian rule up to the year 1503. The traces left by Portuguese settlers afterwards. Victorian remains. And Arabic architecture with a Swahili sauce - the dominant culture in Tanzania.
This is a great time to visit Zanzibar if you don’t mind the heat and humidity. The days are sunny and hot. January to March offer some of the best diving conditions. A good underwater dive is all about wind, the tides and what you can view underwater – the lagoons and coral reefs can be explored in clear waters, particularly on the south coast. The weather in Zanzibar will start to turn from about mid-March as the 'long rains' become more imminent.
April and May mark the start of what’s known as the ‘long rains’ on these islands. The rainfall in April and May is far heavier than any other time of year, and results in mild and very wet weather on the beaches. If you want to enjoy the best weather Zanzibar has to offer, this is not a good time to visit.
A dream African beach holiday usually involves sun-drenched shores, palm fringed beaches and glorious sunsets – expect all this and more during the dry season at luxury Zanzibar resorts. The months from June to October are the best times to go to Zanzibar as the heavy rains have cleared. These weather conditions are perfect for long days, relaxing in the sun and exploring the wonderful sights of the ‘Spice Island’, maybe on a romantic Zanzibar honeymoon.
