Jozani Forest, a vital conservation area in Zanzibar, is easily accessible by taxi or local transport from Stone Town, featuring well-maintained paths and boardwalks suitable for most visitors. Guided visits are mandatory and highly recommended to fully appreciate its unique flora and fauna, particularly the endemic Zanzibar Red Colobus monkeys; independent exploration of the main sanctuary areas is not permitted. The forest is open year-round, though the dry seasons (June-October and January-February) offer more comfortable conditions. Expect an approximate entry cost of $10-$12 USD per person, often including a guide, with typical visits lasting between 1.5 to 3 hours to allow for monkey viewing and exploring the mangrove boardwalk. It's a key highlight for wildlife enthusiasts, offering a chance to see rare species up close in their natural habitat.
