点评:Jozani Forest is small but beautiful. Only 50km square, the national park encompasses 3 main habitats- tall forest, a less dense/more open area, and the mangrove forest of Chwaka Bay.
The forest is home to 2 types of monkeys, Blue Sykes and Red Colobus. Both are easily found, leaping through the undergrowth, dropping from the trees. Other creatures are a bit harder to spot, especially the birds whose beautiful songs fill the air, but who dwell high in the tree tops for safety.
My guide Issa was really knowledgeable about all the different species in Jozani forest, explaining the many types of trees: mahogany, baobab, Zanzibar apple, guava, papaya, palm, mango, breadfruit, mimosa, and in the mangrove swamp, explaining the 3 different kinds of Mangrove trees.
As well as the monkeys, we saw squirrels, lizards, giant millipedes, beautiful butterflies, 3 types of ants including Safari ants on the move! Issa showed me pictures on his phone of all the birds we could hear up in the trees. In the swamp we saw various types of crab, and fish swimming in the brackish water.
The going is easy, ground is flat, and there is a boardwalk in the mangrove swamp. Roads pass through the forest, and there is a monkey bridge to help them move around safely.
翻译:乔扎尼森林虽小,却风景优美。这座国家公园面积仅50平方公里,包含三个主要栖息地——茂密的森林、较为稀疏/开阔的区域以及楚瓦卡湾的红树林。
森林里栖息着两种猴子:蓝猴和红疣猴。它们很容易被发现,它们在灌木丛中跳跃,从树上掉下来。其他生物则比较难发现,尤其是那些歌声优美的鸟类,它们栖息在高高的树梢上,以保证安全。
我的导游伊萨对乔扎尼森林里的各种物种都非常了解,她讲解了各种树木:桃花心木、猴面包树、桑给巴尔苹果树、番石榴、木瓜树、棕榈树、芒果树、面包果树、含羞草树,并在红树林沼泽地讲解了三种不同的红树林。
除了猴子,我们还看到了松鼠、蜥蜴、巨型千足虫、美丽的蝴蝶,还有三种蚂蚁,包括正在迁徙的Safari蚂蚁!Issa用手机给我看了树上所有鸟儿的照片,我们都能听到它们的叫声。在沼泽地里,我们看到了各种各样的螃蟹和在咸水中游动的鱼。
这里很容易走,地面平坦,红树林沼泽里还有一条木板路。道路穿过森林,还有一座猴桥,方便它们安全通行。
