Zanzibar Spice Tour

Tour Descriptions:

Zanzibar was one of the world’s leading producers of spices such as clove, nutmeg and cinnamon. We have developed a special Spice Tour with in-depth information not only about spices but also organically grown herbs and detailed descriptions about their uses in traditional dishes, as cures for ailments and even for dyeing traditional ceremonial outfits for weddings and festivals. The tour will take you to a spice farm (shamba),  while there, you shall see how the spices, herbs and fruits grow and are cultivated.  You don’t just see, you also touch, smell and taste.

Tour Itinerary

Our guided walking tour passes through villages and spice plantations, a walk through the farms as spice farms workers climbs trees, seek out specific plants and cuts off various barks, letting you see, feel and taste everything. You will be smelling and tasting spices, herbs and tropical fruits such as clove, lemongrass, nutmeg, cinnamon, turmeric, vanilla, coconuts, papaya, chilli, black pepper, jackfruit, cardamom, cassava and oranges. After the tour, you will enjoy a traditional Swahili lunch at the farm. Here is when you can really taste the different ways of using spices.
