Spice Tour

Duration: Approximately 3 hours

Languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish

In the past Zanzibar was known as the Spice Island; known for the exporting of cloves, vanilla, nutmeg and cardamom across the world. The spices were brought over from Asia and South America and flourished in the tropical climate. Nowadays the plantations are a tribute to the island’s past. This can easily be said to be one of the most popular excursions on the island. Walk through the spice farm with your guide. An optional lunch is available at Hakuna Matata Beach Lodge, known for its kitchen delights, and prepared with the best of the seasonal fruit and spices introduced to you during the tour. Depending on the season you are visiting, you can find anything from vanilla, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric, lemon grass, cloves, ylang ylang, cumin, garlic, ginger, coriander, pepper, allspice, tamarind, chilli, oregano and more!
