Three different sides of Zanzibar in one day. Jozani Forest is home to the red colobus monkeys, found in the wild only on Zanzibar. We walk through the forest with a local guide.

Next comes Salaam Cave, with crystal-clear natural water you can swim in. We end the day on Mtende Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the south of the island.
