Description

Your 'Swahili Spice Experience' begins with a guided tour of one of Zanzibar's most famous spice farms. Trained guides will show you how the spices grow. They will let you guess what you see – you will be amazed. They will explain the processes the spices go through before they can be sold at the market. Experience this with all your senses – smell and taste pepper, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and much more. A visit to a Zanzibari spice merchant gives you the opportunity to buy spices to take home with you – they couldn't be fresher. Arnoldi's on the Cliff bar (Google 5* rating) is a dream setting on the Indian Ocean. Your Spice Experience concludes here with a culinary highlight. The culinary journey through Swahili cuisine – discover many spices that you have just seen on the bush or tree. The dessert – Zanzibari kalimati are a sweet, fluffy dream that will make this day unforgettable. Spice coffee or spice tea is included in the price, of course.
