Zanzibar: Prison Island & Jozani Forest Guided Tour

4. Zanzibar: Prison Island & Jozani Forest Guided Tour

Come and experience a unique place called Prison Island and learn more about Zanzibar’s history. Prison Island gets its name from the prison built to condemn Zanzibari citizens to be isolated from the island. The prison was previously owned by an Arab to house his rebellious slaves, the prison was never actually used, and the island is now home to a tortoise sanctuary and a hotel. Prison Island is 20 minutes away from Stone Town by boat and has spectacular coral reefs for you to enjoy. Giant tortoises shuffle through the trees, with the infinite patience that old age brings. Originally thought to be from the Comoros Islands and Seychelles, some of these tortoises are thought to be over 100 years old. After the trip to the tortoise sanctuary, you´re left to explore the island. If you´re feeling active, you can follow one of the hiking trails, snorkel in the crystal clear waters in search of colourful tropical fish darting through the reef or soak up some sun on the white beach. Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, Zanzibar Tanzania Jozani Forest is in the south of the island and is the largest area of mature forest in Zanzibar. A car will take you there, and a guide will walk you around the ancient hardwood forest and mangrove swamps. It is also home to the Red Colobus monkeys, unique to Zanzibar, with less than 2000 remaining in the world. A boardwalk around the mangrove swamp at the end of the tour and a visit to the giant turtle sanctuary is also included.

While looking out for dolphins, dive in to snorkel among the wonderful coral reef and the variety of colorful fish and marine creatures. If the dolphins are in a good mood, you can witness them goofing around.  As you will be in their natural habitat, there is no guarantee you'll have the chance to swim with the dolphins; your guide will do their best to ensure they are comfortable so you can enjoy their beautiful energy, whether up close or from a distance.  The trip to Zanzibar Jozani Forest national park involves a visit to the high, dense groundwater forest. Home to the red colobus monkey, a rare species only found in Zanzibar, take the opportunity to get up close to the wild animals.

Before heading back to your hotel, make a short stop at the community project, Zanzibar Butterfly Center. Even though the site is not so big, it is a lovely place to relax and enjoy the moment before ending your experience.

Overall rating

Our excursion team consisted of Sadik, the guide, and Abu, the driver. Sadik is a young man who seemed very shy at first, but became more relaxed as the day went on. In the end he did a very good job and we had an unforgettable trip. While snorkeling with the starfish, he dived and picked up a few specimens for us because I couldn't dive myself due to my claustrophobia. An incredible experience. Abu, our driver, mastered even the roughest route brilliantly. We only took photos of “The Rock” restaurant because we didn’t want to eat. Instead we had a coffee in a fantastically located bar on Paje Beach. Individual wishes were also taken into account. All in all, we can fully recommend this excursion. The costs are also cheaper via Getyourguide than booking through a tour operator or hotel. Top! Top! Top!

Really fantastic day out! Ahmed our guide was very knowledgeable and made our day very enjoyable. we’ve had a few trips while in Zanzibar and he was easily the best :) dj halid was also great driver for the day, thank you both!

Everything was perfect, super nice and accommodating people. No time stress, you could let everything take effect. We can only recommend this excursion.

Top activity! We were able to swim with turtles and dolphins! Swimming with the fish in the blue lagoon and others… perfect day!!

Everything carried out professionally Great moments Very structured in terms of time No mass processing
