Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at Forodhani Garden Restaurant. From there, we'll start our tour by visiting the spice farms of Zanzibar, where we'll enjoy tasting and smelling the island's native spices.

We'll walk through small villages and plantations to learn about local work and see an array of crafts made of palm leaves. Next, we'll proceed to Stone Town, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. We will explore the city's streets until we reach the old slave market, now a church.
