We departed from Stone Town and drove south through the centre of Zanzibar Island to the Jozani Forest the home of the Colobus monkeys. We took a walk through the forest and watched them swinging through the trees, feeding & mothering their wee ones. They are a problem to farmers as their diet is green fruit and leaves. The Colobus are the rarest monkey in Africa and are protected. Farmers are now subsidised by the government for their losses and use dogs to keep them away.
Further down the road we stopped and took a walk through an Eco-system of mangroves where prawns crabs and fish spawn.

We travelled south east and by early afternoon we arrived at The Breezes for our next 3 nights. A beautiful place right on the beach.
