Step away from the busy tourist areas and experience the authentic side of Zanzibar with a relaxing walk through a local spice farm.

Begin with a guided walk through a traditional spice farm, where you will see, smell, and taste some of Zanzibar’s most famous spices and tropical fruits. Learn how cloves, cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, turmeric, ginger, black pepper, and other plants grow naturally and how local people use them in cooking, traditional remedies, and everyday life.

Along the way, your local guide will share stories about Zanzibar’s famous spice history and explain why the island became known around the world as the “Spice Island.” You will also have the opportunity to taste fresh tropical fruits directly from the farm, depending on the season. Feel the leaves, smell the spices, and discover the difference between seeing a spice in a shop and experiencing it fresh from the plant.

After the spice farm experience, enjoy a free walking experience through the local area. Walk at a relaxed pace, meet local people, see everyday island life, and discover places that many visitors would normally miss.
