Jozani National Forest– Colobus Monkeys

Jon and I spent a day out in Jozani National Forest which was about an hour or an hour and a half away from Stone Town.  We spent the better part of the morning in the sweltering sun searching for the rare red colobus monkeys which we found!  The first “colony” of monkeys included about twenty with several babies and mamas.  We quietly observed them and watched another group of monkeys encroach on the first group’s territory.  The second group appeared to be all males and the first group took off very quickly.
