• eucalyptus and mahogany trees and explain the medicinal
• properties of various plants and tell you about the
• animals, birds and reptiles that make their home in the
• various habitats of this tropical rainforest.
• Troops of Zanzibar Red Colobus monkeys can be found
• scrambling from branch to branch, in search of food. The
• monkeys have become acclimatised to people and allow
• you to get close to them to take photographs as they eat,
• play and jumping from the treetops.
• The mangrove boardwalk takes you above the swamp,
