Detailed Itinerary
First stop: Pickup and transfer to Jozani forest.
Your guide will pick you up and brief you about the safari for a one day. Explore Jozani Forest with a park ranger, and discover more about the medicinal properties of various plants, and the animals, birds, and reptiles that live in this tropical rainforest in the middle of Zanzibar. During the walk, you encounter troops of Zanzibar Red Colobus monkeys scrambling from branch to branch, in search of food. The monkeys have even become accustomed to people and allow you to get close to them to take photographs as they eat, play, and jump from the treetops.
Second stop: Mnemba Island Snorkeling.
After exploring you will explore Mnemba Island is a small Island nestled on the northeast coast of Zanzibar (Unguja) close to Matemwe Beach Village, is famously referred to as Mnemba Atoll.
This island’s coral garden is a haven for tourists looking for the best snorkeling conditions. The government forbids fishing, which has led to an abundance of diverse marine life in Unguja Island (Zanzibar) that is unmatched in any other location.
If you dive or snorkel, you can expect to see a wide variety of marine life, such as striking lionfish, snappers, and elegant green turtles, as well as majestic starfish and Moorish idols. And if you’re lucky, especially in the calm early mornings, you might even see dolphins. Snorkeling enthusiasts can look forward to an amazing underwater experience on Mnemba Island.

One of the best places in the Zanzibar Islands for snorkelling is Blue Lagoon, which is situated in Michamvi Village, near Bwejuu and Paje Beach on the island’s southeast coast.
It’s true that snorkelers will find paradise in Zanzibar’s Blue Lagoon. Compared to other snorkelling spots in Zanzibar, its vibrant and healthy corals are easily accessible. Leaf fish, mantis shrimp, octopus, squid, moray eels, puffer fish, scorpion fish, lionfish, nudibranch, angel fish, snappers, rainbow runners, jackfish, barracudas, batfish, and many more colourful reef fish species can be found there.
The population of starfish that can be found in Blue Lagoon is what makes it unique and a must-see location. Everyone who visits will never forget it because of the colourful starfish strewn among the corals and beach, creating a truly amazing sight.
