IB/Aga Khan Project in Zanzibar

Christine, Suzanne and Kirsten arrived safely on Friday, 17 April after 16 hours of travel from Cardiff/Bristol to Zanzibar.

The next morning was spent exploring the nature trail at Jozani Forest, a protective reserve which is nearly 3% of the whole island.

We were taken around by a ranger from the local community with a real passion for the protection of indigenous creatures (big and small) in the reserve.

If you are lucky, you will find a friendly gang of red colobus monkey as well as a chance to feed sea turtles. Both animals are endangered and the community has many projects to make sure that these creatures are protected. Supporting their nature trail tours help in informing visitors about their projects.

Most of the participants to this IB and Aga Khan project arrived today and we expect the rest to arrive on Sunday. Our first session begins Sunday evening.
