Customer Reviews
This was a very pleasant visit. The Red Colobus Monkeys, found only in Zanzibar, are fascinating to watch as they move through the trees. They are used to visitors and can be seen at close range. We also visited the mangroves, which, even on a short tour, offered a good insight into the local ecosystem. Our guide was kind and informative.
I had a really good guide and Suleyman seems to be passionated about his job. Of course it's not a jungle like Amazonas or Borneo. But still good place to see more about jungle, wild life and especially to see and learn more about mangroves
$12 entrance fee for the shortest route. We had a guide who answered all our questions. The park is protected, and there’s a respectful interaction with the monkeys. The guides take care that touristis keep distance and preserving their natural habitat. All in all, a great experience, not a tourist trap, and definitely money well spent on a UNESCO World Heritage site. We recommend visiting in the afternoon and taking the small tour.
