Jozani forest is not very important to visit. The forest has only monkeys nothing much to see. We did both spice tour and jozani forest. We only liked spice tour. Great guide suleiman +255756983368

This is a pleasant half day tour to see the red colobus monkeys close up. We were escorted by a ranger through the forest which included fern forest & mohagany trees. We were later given a tour of the mangrove forest via a board walk.

A poor quality experience after the superb National Parks on the mainland. Here, the main focus seems to be to extract as much money as possible from you. The entrance was chronically congested with tourist taxis. You are put together in large groups for a 20 minute walk in the forest. If you want longer or a smaller group size.....hand over another $30. Our guide seemed solely driven by the prospect a tip and offered only cursory comments during our marginally extended "yomp" through the forest. The guides seem to encourage visitors to get ridiculously close to the monkeys presumably so that good close-up photos equate to larger tips. Incidentally, both typed of monkey are easily visible from the road that passes through the park.

The tour was okay. Not as amazing as we thought it would be. Walking around the green forest was nice. And seeing the colobus monkeys was fun. They are such cute animals. The issue was that our guide didn't seem to have enough experience and our group was too big. I think it's better if they limit groups to a maximum of 10 people.

The forest and mangroves were beautiful and very well preserved by the community in the area. It was a really fun experience seeing the monkeys up close but you’re unlikely to see much of the other wildlife in the forest since they stay away from the trails taken during the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a good understanding of the ecosystem in the forest as well as its history.

The quality of your visit will largerly depend on the quality of the guide. Unfortunately, ours was terrible ! Consdiering we were french (fluent in english though) they decided to assign us a french speacking guide. But his level was probably poor and basically, he hardly spoke at all !

Disappointing. First, the guide we had told our group the rules to follow with the colobus monkeys (keep a 3 meter distance for example) and we were happily surprised. Then, we saw a first monkey and the guide didn't keep any distance with it... After that we saw a group of monkeys and it was full of people, very close to the monkeys (less than a meter). A big disturbance, allowed by the very passive guides. It is sad because it would have been great otherwise, the informations the guide gave us were interesting and the forest is beautiful. We advise to guides to follow the rules they give to tourists. If you come here, be minded that it is a business industry and not an ethical conservation program for this beautiful species.
