Discover the two faces of Zanzibar’s natural beauty on this unique tour that pairs the aromatic treasures of a spice farm with the serene adventure of kayaking through a mangrove forest. This half-day experience is perfect for nature lovers, eco-tourists, and curious explorers wanting to go beyond the usual beach tour. Your journey begins at a local spice farm, where a guide will walk you through the fragrant world of cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemongrass, and more. Engage your senses as you touch, smell, and taste spices straight from the source, and learn about their historical and economic importance to the island.
