Introducing
Wildlife stories!
Karibu to Zanzibar Wildlife’s STORIES section, and welcome also to www.ZanzibarWildlife.com, where we celebrate the wonders of Zanzibar’s world-class wildlife from the biggest whale to the smallest seed.
Here, we will share stories about wildlife sightings, wildlife events, and interesting facts about our wonderful wild species and ecosystems through the changing seasons.
We will also share updates on the growing information resources provided on this site. We are developing sections on species, habitats and hotspots, and how you can help wildlife by creating space for nature, choosing sustainable food, following good practice in watching and living alongside wildlife, and more.
The site is a work in progress, but we hope it will become a useful and interesting resource for everyone living in and visiting Zanzibar.
To let us know about Zanzibar wildlife stories to tell, places to go, and events to showcase here, let us know through our social links below / above.

If you are in a position to support our work to share knowledge and understanding of Zanzibar wildlife through this site, we are developing a content sponsorship programme. Meanwhile, if you find this interesting or helpful, donations at www.ko-fi.com/NellH are extremely appreciated.
You can also help us keep records up to date by logging your wildlife sightings on iNaturalist, and you can connect with us and join the conversation on Facebook and Instagram.
