All about the trip

This tour includes 3 must-visit places in Zanzibar, which are Stone Town City (The UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Cultural Arts Centre of East Africa) and the spice farms (Jambo Spice Farm and Tangawizi Spice Farm) and we will end our day by exploring the Prison Island - the former prison for slaves and quarantine station for Zanzibar built by Lloyd Mathews in 1893. It is an absolutely worthwhile experience. Zanzibar is well-known for its heritage sites and cultural tours.

There's no place on earth like Zanzibar. Our two unique islands offer distinct experiences that will entice any traveler. We warmly invite you to explore our islands.

You will start by visiting the spice farms and plantations with our informative, friendly, and experienced professional tour guide. Take our private car to Jambo Spice Farm.

Tangawizi Spice farm is next to Jambo Spice Farm. At Tangawizi Spice Farm you will also see a lot of types of spices as well. Also, you will be able to watch a guide climbing a coconut tree while singing local songs. You will drink fresh coconut juices as much as you will like too also there are a lot of fresh fruits like bananas, oranges, mangoes, and a lot more. You can eat as much as you want to. You will be decorated with palm-leaf accessories such as ties, rings, bracelets, and glasses. At the spice farms, you will have an opportunity to taste some of the exotic fruits of Zanzibar. Spice farms are the best place to buy fresh spices directly from the source.

Then later you will board a private car with air-conditioning heading to Stone Town City. One of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Cultural Arts Centre of East Africa. You will have the Stone Town City Tour that will take you around the historical culture and architectural important town of Zanzibar with a century history.
