What to expect

This private tour of Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park takes you on an adventure through the only national park on the island, where you'll spot rare red colobus monkeys and other native wildlife. Then, you'll head over to Prison Island to check out the prison ruins and learn more about the island's past.

First up is a guided tour through the mangroves of Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park. This spot is known for its unique forest ecosystem, and the rare Zanzibar red colobus monkeys call this place home – the humid forests here are one of their favourite places to live.

Next, you'll head to Stone Town to catch the boat to Changuu Island, AKA Prison Island, for a tour. The island is home to the giant Aldabra tortoises – some of them are over 150 years old – and you'll visit the foundation that takes care of them. You'll also explore the Prison Island Museum to learn more about its fascinating history. Plus, there's time to snap a few pics of the coastal scenery before your return journey.

Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park and The Mamas of Zanzibar full-day private tour

If you're curious about the Zanzibar beyond the coastline, this private tour brings together two sides of island life in one memorable day. Start in Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, a lush pocket of forest filled with native plants, mangroves and rare wildlife, including the Zanzibar red colobus monkey. As you walk the forest trails with your guide, you'll learn how local conservation work is giving these monkeys, and the entire ecosystem, a fighting chance. From the forest, head to a nearby village for a warm welcome from the Mamas of Zanzibar. As you explore the community, you'll find out about local traditions and daily life before joining a cooking session centred around classic Swahili flavours. Learn how coconut is transformed into fresh milk, grind spices by hand and help prepare dishes such as coconut rice, chapati and vegetables, with fish, chicken or vegetarian options available. The day ends around the table, sharing the food you've helped prepare with your hosts. Between browsing handcrafted goods made by local women and unwinding with a cup of spiced tea or coffee, there's plenty of time for conversation and connection. It's a relaxed and rewarding way to discover Zanzibar's wildlife, culture and community spirit while directly supporting local communities.

Zanzibar Design Your Day Private Tour

You're completely in charge of the day for this one, so jot down your must see spots and get ready for an outing in Zanzibar shaped entirely by you. The vehicle is at your disposal for a maximum of eight hours. Your driver will swing by your hotel at around nine in the morning, whisk you off to wherever you feel like going and bring you back around five in the afternoon. Maybe you'll stop off in Stone Town – the island's old quarter and a UNESCO World Heritage Site – to wander the alleys, snack on local goodies like mandazi – a fluffy fried dough – and pick up souvenirs like hand-carved trinkets and spice packets. If the spice farms spark your curiosity, you can wander through the fields, learn where Zanzibar gets its flavours and even enjoy a tasting or two. Or, perhaps heading up to Nungwi for a dose of beach-day bliss, a bit of snorkelling or explore South to see the local life. Whatever you're in the mood for, just share your plans ahead of time and everything will be arranged for you. With no fixed schedule and unlimited mileage, the whole island opens up for you to explore, linger, detour and enjoy at your own pace.
