Description

Step into the heart of Zanzibar’s spice paradise with this immersive Spice Farm Experience.

Important Information

  • Wear comfortable walking shoes, as you’ll explore the farm on foot. We recommend light, breathable clothing suitable for Zanzibar’s tropical climate. Don’t forget a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. Bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated during the tour. Be prepared for a hands-on experience, you’ll be smelling, tasting, and touching fresh spices! Some areas may be muddy after rain, so avoid slippery shoes. You’ll have the chance to purchase fresh spices and natural products directly from the farm (optional). If you have allergies or dietary restrictions, please inform your guide in advance.
