Zanzibar Galago


Zanzibar Mbweni Ruins Hotel - Nature Trail

All bushbabies have hands adapted to clinging to trees and bushes and they make amazing leaps through the air. The Zanzibar Galago cannot land feet first, nor hop and it has to reverse climb backwards down vertical stems. Other types travel on the ground in a series of hops, resembling a furry pingpong ball.
Bushbabies are matriarchal, the females defending a territory of 2-5 ha, and the males ranging about. They may breed twice a year (in Feb-March and Sept-Oct) and produce 1 or 2 young after a gestation period of 120 days.
Three types of Bushbaby found in Zanzibar:
