Embark on a 3-hour guided tour of an organic spice farm and explore one of Zanzibar’s most renowned industries: spice cultivation. Learn how the islands produce cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, black pepper, and other aromatic treasures, earning the Zanzibar Archipelago and Tanzania’s Mafia Island the nickname “Spice Islands.”
Upon arrival, your expert guide will explain the cultivation and uses of various spices, both as natural remedies and culinary enhancers. Discover fresh spices like vanilla, cardamom, nutmeg, and more. You’ll have the chance to touch, smell, and taste these vibrant spices and herbs straight from the source—an experience unlike any other. The tour also includes sampling fresh tropical fruits grown on the farm.
Engage in hands-on activities such as harvesting cassava leaves, making coconut milk, and participating in traditional cooking. Witness a skilled coconut tree climber in action as they retrieve fresh coconuts for you to taste. Conclude your visit with a flavorful lunch at the farm and an opportunity to purchase spices to take a piece of Zanzibar’s essence home with you.
