Zanzibar Spice Farm Tour

Discover why Zanzibar is famously known as the “Spice Island.” This tour is one of the best ways to experience the island’s rich agricultural heritage and learn about the spices that have shaped its history and culture.

In the 1850s, Sultan Said Said recognized the fertile lands of Zanzibar and imported a variety of spices from different countries, particularly from Asia, transforming Zanzibar into a world-renowned hub for spices.

On this guided tour, you’ll get the chance to see, touch, smell, and taste a wide range of spices directly on the farm. Our expert tour guide will accompany you on an approximately 2-hour walking tour, explaining how spices are planted, harvested, and used in Zanzibar’s cuisine and traditional medicine.

As you walk through the lush farm, you’ll enjoy a unique tropical setting filled with exotic plants and trees. You’ll encounter spices such as turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, cloves, nutmeg, and many more.

At the end of the tour, you’ll have the opportunity to buy freshly packed spices—perfect as gifts or souvenirs to take a piece of Zanzibar home with you.
