Tour Plan
Your Zanzibar holiday isn’t complete without visiting the island’s famous spice heritage, which dates back to the 16th century when cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper became valuable commodities in global trade.
Located just outside Zanzibar Town, the spice farms offer a unique opportunity to explore lush plantations and learn about a wide variety of spices, including cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and more. During a guided walking tour, guests discover how these spices are grown, harvested, and prepared, with plenty of chances to see, touch, smell, and taste them fresh from the source.
The experience also includes tasting delicious tropical fruits straight from the trees, such as jackfruit and pineapple, along with refreshing coconut juice. For a fun and interactive touch, visitors can watch (and even join) the making of palm-leaf accessories like bracelets, rings, ties, or glasses—adding a playful moment that makes the tour truly memorable.You can savor what you learned by tasting the traditional meals cooked with the spices you just found out about.
Our local lunch at the spice farm is a wonderful local meal we’ll have after the tour. The lunch is made with local produce and Zanzibari spices. Our pro driver will take you back to your hotel after lunch.
