Spice Tour

Either in the morning or afternoon, we will pick you up at your hotel anywhere in Zanzibar and take you to the world-famous spice farms. Along the way, you will learn about the rich history of the island. Already ancient sailors reported islands full of scents, and Arab merchants travelled as early as the eighth century to Pemba and Unguja, the islands that make up Zanzibar, for spices. You will learn how the island got its nickname in the 15th century and learn about growing and harvesting spice plants. You’ll find out why pepper and cloves were so valuable, and you’ll probably find out for the first time that nutmeg wrap is also a very special spice. The queen of spices, cinnamon, has many healing properties in addition to its intoxicating aroma. To leave you in a frenzy, we won’t reveal all the spices you’ll smell, observe, touch, and taste.

Jozani Forest Tour

In the South of the Island, Jozani forest is a wonder and delight with tales of Zanzibar, medicinal cures and stunning scenery. The forest is home to a number of endemic species, including the Zanzibar red colobus monkey. Your guide will take you on a nature trail, lined up with eucalyptus and mahogany trees and explain the medicinal properties of various plants and tell you about the animals, birds and reptiles that make their home in the various habitats of this tropical rainforest. Troops of Zanzibar red colobus monkey can be found scrambling from branch to branch in search of food. The monkeys have become acclimatized to people and allow you to get close to them to take photographs as they eat, play and jump from the tree tops.
The mangrove board walk takes you above the swamp where depending on the tide you can see tropical fish between the mangrove roots and crabs scuttling across the mud. Mangroves play an important role in environmental conservation and as a resource for villagers and community life. The guide will explain the different species found in the swamp and their uses.
