Village Tour
Walk a working Zanzibari village with someone who lives there — the school, the mosque, the fishing beach and the coconut press.
Walk a working plantation with a farmer guide — clove, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon straight off the tree, with tastings as you go.
Drive to a working spice farm outside Stone Town, where a farmer guides you between the rows.
Clove, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, black pepper and lemongrass, shown on the plant and in the hand.
Fresh fruit, spice tea and tastings along the way: the guide will tell you what each spice was used for.
A little time to buy spices straight from the growers if you wish.
