Check out the playful red colobus monkeys hanging out in the Jozan Jungle on this half-day, small-group guided walking tour. Besides the monkeys, there is plenty more wildlife in the jungle. Listen to your guide as they point them all out, tell you about their behavior, and answer your questions. Also take a walk through the mangroves to look for sea life like tropical fish and crabs.

Stone Town is a vibrant hub where Arabic, African, Indian, and European cultures blend seamlessly. As you stroll through its maze-like streets, too narrow for cars, you'll encounter mosques, churches, and temples standing side-by-side. Zanzibar's spices and herbs have roots dating back to the 16th century, introduced by Portuguese traders from their colonies in South America and India. Begin your spice tour with a guided walk through a local spice farm (shamba), where you'll learn about the cultivation and uses of various spices, herbs, and fruits. Prison Island, built as a prison in 1893 and now part of a hotel, hosts a tortoise sanctuary that shelters a large population of giant tortoises brought from Seychelles in the late 19th century.
