Begin with a pickup from your hotel in Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa, or nearby areas. Travel in an eco-friendly van and listen to a brief introduction by your local guide on Zanzibar’s biodiversity and cultural heritage.

Stop at the Zanzibar Butterfly Centre and learn about butterfly conservation and life cycles. Participate in a butterfly nurturing session, such as feeding or planting nectar plants. Discover how the centre supports local communities through eco-tourism.

Next, head to Jozani-Chwaka Bay National Park for a guided trek. Spot Red Colobus monkeys and explore mangrove boardwalks. Join a “Forest Guardian” talk with a conservationist to learn about protecting endemic species and reforestation efforts. Optionally, plant a mangrove seedling.

Afterwards, visit an organic spice farm near Pete Village. Explore spices like cloves, vanilla, and cardamom. Participate in a hands-on medicinal plants workshop, learning traditional Swahili herbal remedies and creating a small herbal balm to take home.

Finally, immerse yourself in Pete Village life with a guided tour of local homes, markets, and artisan workshops. Participate in a Swahili cooking demo, making chapati or coconut stew with villagers, followed by a shared meal. Learn about community-led eco-projects like beekeeping.
