Tour Plan

Zanzibar Butterfly Centre (ZBC) Located in the heart of the island near the Jozani Forest, the Zanzibar Butterfly Centre is one of Zanzibar’s most unique and interactive attractions. Working closely with Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, the Jozani Environmental Conservation Association (JECA), and the Pete Development Association, the Centre is dedicated to education, conservation, and sustainable butterfly farming. Enjoy a visually stunning experience as you walk through the tropical enclosure surrounded by hundreds of vibrant, free-flying butterflies. Learn about Zanzibar endemic butterfly species, participate in feeding sessions, and even let butterflies rest gently on your palm. The Centre also supports around 40 local farmers, providing them with an opportunity to diversify their income especially empowering women by enabling flexible, home-based work that fits around family life.

After enjoying the butterfly experience, our professional driver will be ready to take you back to your hotel.
