Zanzibar Spice Tour
The perfect chance to learn everything you have ever wanted to know about
spices! Our guide will take you to spice farms and plantations all over the island where you
can see and taste the variety of spices found in Zanzibar. A Zanzibar spice tour is a sensory
experience and you'll be introduced to cinnamon, ylang-ylang, nutmeg and vanilla in their
raw forms. The guides will educate you on each spice while local children follow you on
the tour handing you palm-leaf accessories such as ties, rings, bracelets and glasses.
Zanzibar spice tours usually end with a meal that includes all the spices you've
tasted, and often includes a visit to the Kidichi Persian Baths.
The baths were built in 1850 by Sultan Seyyid Said
as a gift to his Persian wife.
Zanzibar is famed for being the spice island due to it’s history of
growing and exporting spices to the four corners of the world. The tastes, smells and
uses for the spices will surpise you; some are used for treating wounds while others
add an extra kick to any meal.
