Description

Embark on a private guided tour exploring a spice farm and the historic Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your adventure begins with a guided walk through a renowned spice farm, where you'll discover how Zanzibar cultivates its diverse range of spices. Explore the farm, encountering organic spices like cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, bananas, pineapples, black pepper, and more. Engage your senses as you touch, smell, and even taste the spices straight from the plants. A visit to the farm's spice shop offers the opportunity to see handcrafted products made directly from these spices, and you can purchase your favourites. You'll also get to sample Zanzibar's delicious tropical fruits, including watermelon, red and yellow bananas, pineapple, mangoes, and oranges. Enjoy a tasty Swahili lunch prepared with the fresh spices and fruits from the farm before continuing to Stone Town. A short drive takes you to Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000, recognised for its rich cultural and historical significance. The town's 19th-century architecture showcases the blended influences of Swahili, Arab, Indian, and European cultures. Your guided tour of Stone Town includes visits to the Forodhani Gardens, the House of Wonders (currently undergoing renovation), the Arab Sultan's Palace, the Old Fort, and the house where Freddie Mercury was born. Wander through the Old Town's narrow streets to the bustling City Market, where locals trade fresh produce and household goods. Witness the lively fish auction and learn about the history of the sights around you. Just a short walk from the market, you'll explore the poignant Old Slave Market site and the Anglican Church, including the slave monuments and the small, stark slave chambers. At the end of the tour, you'll be returned to your hotel.
