Explore the Exotic Charms of Zanzibar: Jozani Forest, Spice Farm & Prison Island
Are you ready for an unforgettable adventure on the beautiful island of Zanzibar? Join us for a full-day tour that takes you to three unique attractions: the enchanting Jozani Forest, the aromatic Spice Farm, and the historic Prison Island. Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture, stunning natural beauty, and rich history of this tropical paradise.
Our tour begins with a visit to the Jozani Forest, a lush oasis that is home to the rare and endemic Red Colobus Monkey. As you stroll through the forest, our experienced guide will share fascinating insights about the local flora and fauna. Listen to the melodious songs of exotic birds, marvel at the towering mahogany trees, and keep your eyes peeled for the playful monkeys swinging through the branches. This magical forest offers a glimpse into the untouched wonders of nature.
Next on our itinerary is a trip to the Spice Farm, where you will embark on a sensory journey through a world of tantalizing aromas. Zanzibar has a long-standing reputation as the "Spice Island," and this farm showcases the island's rich agricultural heritage. Discover the secrets behind the cultivation of aromatic spices such as cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Learn about their traditional uses in medicine, cuisine, and cultural practices. Indulge your senses by tasting and smelling these exotic spices firsthand.
Our final stop is the captivating Prison Island, located just off the coast of Zanzibar. Originally built as a detention center for rebellious slaves, the island later served as a quarantine station for infectious diseases. Today, it stands as a historical site and a sanctuary for giant Aldabra tortoises. Get up close and personal with these gentle giants, some of whom are over a century old. Stroll along the pristine white sand beaches, take a dip in the crystal-clear waters, or explore the ancient ruins that still stand as a testament to the island's tumultuous past.

What travellers say
6 days private Serengeti Safari
Sunset african safari is an absolutely recommendable tour operator. We had booked 6 unforgettable days in the Serengeti as a private tour. our guide Patrick is an excellent driver and knows a lot about the Serengeti and its animals. We felt absolutely safe in every situation. Our accommodation was in a mobile camp. The service of the staff, the food and the friendliness is unforgettable. These camps are equipped with everything you need. In our eyes, this is already luxury in the great outdoors. During our game drives we were so overwhelmed by all the animal sightings that this can hardly be put into words. All our respect to all the staff of Sunset African Safari. If possible we will come again

Superb experience!
Sunset Africa Safaris is definitely a reliable and experienced tour operator! Thanks to our guide Omaru, our 4 days 3 nights small group tour(3 pax) in the Safari was surely above our expectations, and he knows where to to find the animals. While we were in the Safari, the only thing we need to do was to enjoy the breath taking views and the closeness to the wild aninimals; everything else (Transportation, lodging, food...) was taken care by our experienced and knowledgeable guide.
My advice for doing a Safari tour:
1. Small group is better as you can move freely in the car to see the animals on both sides.
2.Plan your trip in advance and prepare the fund in advance in cash or bank transfer, generally credit card doesn't work well in Tanzania as there is 5% charge on the consumer side.
3.Bring warm clothes, SLR camera, binoculars with you.
4.Serengeti and Ngorongoro are must visit attractions.
At last, a very special thanks to Godfrey (Owner of the firm) for solving my duplicate fund transfers problem in 2 business days in parallel!
Family holiday
Myself and my family (daughter 14 & Son 9) had a fabulous time in Tanzania visiting family, but one the best experiences we had was going on Safari with Godfrey and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, they were very professional but also friendly and good with the kids. 10/10
