Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park protects one of Zanzibar's most distinctive landscapes and its famous red colobus monkeys.

A good visit is not just a stop for monkey photographs.

It is a chance to understand the forest, the endemic wildlife and the mangrove ecosystem that surrounds it.

Look up, then look down

The red colobus gets most of the attention.

It should.

But Jozani is more interesting when you see the pieces together.

Forest canopy.

Wildlife.

Wetland.

Mangroves.

The boardwalk through the mangroves changes the pace of the visit and helps explain a completely different ecosystem from the tropical forest.

Wild animals, not scheduled performers

The monkeys are wild.

This should increase trust rather than reduce sales.
