Comments From Visitors
“This was one of our favourite trips during our stay in Zanzibar. It’s quite a small community run project but well worth a visit. Probably allow an hour and a half. So well run and informative we saw some beautiful butterflies and amazing chameleons.The best part is it is not busy at all.”
“If you love nature photography, you will have a lot of fun here! The admission price is very reasonable, the variety of species is great, and you might even be offered to hold a chameleon at the end of your visit!”
“Interesting place to visit. I like the idea and story behind this project. It´s not big but you´ll see and learn a lot thanks to our nice guide. Special bonus are the chameleons!”
“We were as a group of 10 there one week ago.They open 8:30. The entrance fee is 12 K TNS ( this amount is going to the village community as a donation) . We have got a briefing after arrival about the history of the foundation of the center and the life of the butterflies and then we could see amazing number of butterflies in the netted area which is quite large up to 300 m2 and 5-7m high. There were several chameleons , too in a limited area. All of us really enjoyed the visit which lasted cc 40-45 minutes.”
