What To Expect
Walking Tours
Jambo Spice Farm
During this guided tour, you’ll walk through lush tropical plantations filled with exotic aromas, vibrant colors, and natural wonders. Explore a local spice plantation with your knowledgeable guide who will show you how Zanzibar’s famous spices, fruits, and herbs are grown and harvested. Smell the fresh scent of cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, nutmeg, lemongrass, turmeric, and black pepper straight from the trees and vines. Taste a variety of seasonal fruits such as mangoes, pineapples, jackfruit, and coconuts freshly cut for you. Watch (and cheer for!) a local “spice climber known as Mr butterfly” as he scales a tall coconut tree while singing Swahili songs and dancing. Discover how spices are used not only for cooking but also in natural medicine, cosmetics, and traditional healing in Zanzibar culture. Visit a small spice shop at the end of the tour, where you can buy pure organic spices and essential oils directly from the source.

5.00We had an interesting walk through Stone town with Abbas. He knows a lot about the history of the city, showed us Darajani Bazaar and helped our girls finding souvenirs. Abbas followed our wishes and took our preferences and interests into account.
Perfect Guide!
