Zanzibar · Half day

Jozani forest

Red colobus and a mangrove boardwalk — the biodiversity morning for groups that care about more than the sand. A light CSR beat when the partner is contracted, not a donation slide.

How we run it

Jozani is Zanzibar’s forest chapter. We keep it half a day, brief on distance to the monkeys, and do not sell a chimpanzee or gorilla substitute. Village visits follow the same rule as Mara cultural hours: contracted, optional, no gauntlet.

Sits well between Stone Town and the east coast, or as a rainy-day plan that is still a place.

What is included

— Park briefing, boardwalk, a guide used to groups
— Optional contracted community stop
— Insect and heat notes in the guest letter

What we will not do

— Not a primate trek in the Rwanda sense.
— We will not stack Jozani, Prison Island, spice and a dhow on one calendar day.

Planner questions

Who is Jozani forest for?

16–80; red colobus, mangrove boardwalk; CSR-tinged or family-inclusive lists

When should we run Jozani forest?

Year-round forest. Boardwalks are still a heat and mosquito note. Lead time: 6–10 months as a contrast to beach and dhow. Duration on the ground: Half day.

How do we add Jozani forest to a Zanzibar MICE programme?

Red colobus and a mangrove boardwalk — the biodiversity morning for groups that care about more than the sand. A light CSR beat when the partner is contracted, not a donation slide. Send company, group size and dates to sales@serengetiexperience.com or use https://www.serengetiexperience.com/rfp — we confirm permits, vehicles and the operations annex on the proposal.

6 nights (9 with optional Zanzibar extension) · 11-day outline

Mapito Serengeti executive retreat

An Arusha working morning for slide-heavy content, then a Fort Ikoma hop to Mapito Safari Camp for a camp buy-out: butler service, all-inclusive private game drives, Boma dining and a closed leadership table in the two-bedroom villa. Optional three-night Kilindi Zanzibar extension on the north-west coast — fifteen pavilion suites with private plunge pools and dedicated butlers, matched to the same 8–16 leadership scale. Built for corporate travel buyers who want Marriott Bonvoy alignment and western Serengeti wildlife, with Indian Ocean recovery that is not a 200-room resort.
