Zanzibar Spice Farm Tour
Tour details
Overview
Zanzibar is still called the Spice Island, and a walk through a working spice farm shows you why. Your guide breaks open pods, crushes leaves and hands you spices straight from the plant, explaining how each one is grown and how it is used in the kitchen and in local medicine.
Expect cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, turmeric, black pepper, cardamom and lemongrass, along with tropical fruit in season. It is an easy, relaxed outing that suits families, food lovers and anyone curious about the island's history.
