Customer Reviews
The best park out of all in this area! We only knew of the butterfly sanctuary and the Jozani monkey thing and both were slightly underwhelming. On the way to see the monkeys we saw that there was this Jozani tortoise and reptiles park and we are so glad we stopped here! They really treat the animals nicely and the animals are happy and safe in their enclosures (if they are little) or out in the open. There were baby, small, medium and large tortoises. They were sea turtles we could feed salad to, it was so fun. Highly recommended.
Highly recommend this park! The wellfare of the animals is top priority at this park. Furthermore: this park is deeply rooted in the local community and provides work, as well a better understanding of the nature for the people of Jozani. Plus: you get to see a lot of turtles (even the really big ones!), snakes and chameleons. An ideal excursion in Zanzibar!
Great experience, super place, not so many tourists there. We appreciate the access to the animals, possibility to touch the tortoises and have the chameleon on your hand, feeding the turtles and fish is fun too. A nice gentleman who accompanied us and talked about the habits of the animals and why they're there. It's not the ZOO, it' s rather ' the rescue station for the animals in danger'. Admission fee is 10$ per person and we're sure all the money goes to the animals to have better lives. THANKS!
