A spice tour is a wonderful way of exploring the countryside around Stone Town and Zanzibar’s rural communities. Indeed no trip to Zanzibar can be considered complete without a visit to one of our carefully selected spice farms. For centuries Zanzibar's spices, medicinal plants and tropical fruits attracted traders across the Indian Ocean. This 3-4 hour tour will seduce your senses with a mixture of various smells, tastes and textures. Among the many different plants, you will encounter are the henna bush, ylang-ylang, the lipstick tree, iodine plant, cocoa, cassava, dasheen cocoyam and – yes, Zanzibar coffee! Explore the island’s abundance of mouth-watering tropical fruits like jackfruit, pineapples, bananas, green coconut, durian, love apple, rambutan, soursop and starfruit. We round off the leisurely farm walk with a home-cooked lunch in a private rural ambience. The lunch consists of a wide range of typical Swahili meals prepared to perfection by a local farmer and his wife.
Start (best) at 9.30 a.m./ends at 2 p.m. or later.
