BUTTERFLY CENTER – tropical beauty

The beautiful Zanzibar Butterfly Centre near Jozani - Chwaka Bay National Park, contains all native species. Butterfly farming in Zanzibar requires intact forests, thus providing an economic incentive to conserve habitats. Zanzibar women have the rare opportunity to participate, as farming can be carried out at home fitted around childcare and domestic duties. Feed the butterflies and watch them fly close at hand while enjoying the peace and quiet of nature.

JOZANI FOREST – The jungle and our Colobus monkeys

After a distance of a couple minutes drive you arrive at Jozani National Park. During a guided journey through the forest, you will quickly learn about the different species of monkeys unique to Zanzibar (and yes, without a thumb). After your forest tour and a short hop to the other side of the national park, there is an opportunity to uncover the magical world of the Zanzibari Mangroves.

A walk along the wooden trail and you will see the thousands of crabs at work under the mangroves and if you’re lucky you might even hear the mangroves talking. See for yourself.

SEAWEED CENTER– Zanzibar’s second-largest industry

You will visit the Seaweed Center to learn about Seaweed farming. Located in Paje south of Zanzibar, this social enterprise creates opportunities for female seaweed farmers to improve their healthy standard of living and engage in economic development activities that benefit the whole community. 

Depending on the tide, you will see how the women harvest their seaweed and understand the hard work that encompasses a seaweed farmer‘s daily life. Afterwards, you will gain insight in the processing center and factory located in the village. 

Here you get the rare opportunity to see how the seaweed gets transformed into desirable beauty products like organic soaps and essential oils.

THE ROCK – ‘THE’ place to take a picture You will also head a little further South East to a beautiful beach club right opposite the world-famous “The Rock”! Relax and unwind on a superb beach. Take some pictures of this unique place, chill with the amazing view of the coral formations, and have lunch if you want before you turn back around towards your hotel.
