I booked a private tour of Jozani Forest through their website.
The company answered quickly all my emails and the booking process was very easy.
Pickup at my hotel was on time. I had a driver and a guide, Fatima.
Once at the forest, we did a forest walk and were looking for monkeys as well. Even though Fatima did a great job walking me around and explaining things, the forest in itself did not impress me that much.
After, we drove not far to do the boardwalk, which I liked better. Fatima explained a lot about mangrove and I was able to see interesting things. Then as we were driving back, red colobus monkeys were spotted and I was able to get real close to them. I read afterwards that there is a minimum distance required to stay back from the monkeys (to avoid contaminating them with human diseases) but no one seemed to care about it (tourists and other guides). I would have liked for Fatima to warn me about this.
In conclusion, I had a very good experience with this company and would use them again, but I would not go back to Jozani Forest, as I thought this was a bit underwhelming.
