Zanzibar Spice Farm Tour; A Taste of the Island

---

Zanzibar is often called the “Spice Island”, and a spice tour is one of the most unique cultural experiences on the island. This guided visit to a local spice farm introduces you to the plants, fruits and spices that have shaped Zanzibar’s history and cuisine. Walk through lush plantations while your guide explains how spices such as cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and turmeric grow naturally on the island. Along the way you will smell, taste and even try fresh tropical fruits straight from the trees. Local guides demonstrate traditional uses of the spices in cooking, medicine and cosmetics, and visitors often receive a playful crown or necklace made from palm leaves during the tour.

The experience ends with the opportunity to purchase freshly harvested spices directly from the farm, making it the perfect place to pick up authentic souvenirs from Zanzibar.
