Zanzibar Spice Farm Tour – Kizimbani Spice & Fruit Garden Experience
Zanzibar earned its nickname “Spice Island” centuries ago. The Zanzibar Spice Farm Tour lets you experience exactly why. At Kizimbani, one of the oldest plantations on the island, local farmers guide you through gardens full of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla.
First, you walk through the farm and meet the plants up close. Then, your guide invites you to touch, smell, and taste each spice along the way. You also sample fresh tropical fruits straight from the source. Meanwhile, you learn how farmers harvest and dry each spice, and how people use them in cooking, medicine, and perfume.
What’s Included in the Zanzibar Spice Farm Tour
This tour includes a local guide, farm entrance, fruit tasting, and a traditional Zanzibari lunch. We cook the lunch fresh, using spices grown right on the farm. You can also add hotel pickup and drop-off as an optional extra, so you get door-to-door convenience if you want it.
Tour Itinerary Highlights
