What to Expect
Your excursion begins with pickup from your selected Central or East Coast hotel. The final pickup time will be confirmed after booking.
Travel with your private guide to a local spice farm, where you will discover why Zanzibar is known as the Spice Island. Walk through the farm and learn how selected spices, fruits and tropical plants are cultivated and traditionally used.
The tour continues to Jozani Forest. Explore the designated visitor trails with a guide while learning about the forest’s vegetation, wildlife and ecological importance.
Jozani is particularly known as a habitat of the endemic Zanzibar red colobus monkey. These are wild animals moving freely within their natural environment, so sightings and proximity cannot be guaranteed.
The order of the spice-farm and Jozani Forest visits may change according to opening hours, local conditions and operational arrangements. After the experience, return to your hotel.
Discover Zanzibar’s Spice Heritage
The spice-farm visit provides an engaging introduction to Zanzibar’s agricultural traditions. Rather than seeing spices only as packaged ingredients, visitors can observe how different plants grow and learn about their culinary and traditional uses.
Depending on seasonal availability, you may see or learn about cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, cardamom, pepper, turmeric and tropical fruits. The plants available for viewing vary naturally throughout the year.
Any spices, soaps, oils, crafts or other products offered for sale are optional and are not included in the tour price.
