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 explain the processes the spices go through until they can be sold at the market. Experience this with your senses – smell and taste pepper, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg and much more. A visit to a Zanzibar spice merchant gives you the opportunity to buy spices to take home – it doesn't get any fresher than this. The Arnoldi's on the Cliff bar (Google 5-star 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 a bush or tree. The dessert – Zanzibar kalimati – is a sweet, fluffy dream that will make this day unforgettable. 'Spice Coffee or Spice Tea' is of course included in the price.
