Zanzibar is famed around the world for the quality of its spices. Take a day to explore the industry that put the island on the map and learn more about the island’s rich history. On this three hours guided tour, you will explore the various spices of Zanzibar which are used in almost every kitchen on earth, such as cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, garlic, lemongrass, turmeric, ginger, vanilla, nutmeg, and more.
You’ll not only learn how these spices go from the plantations to our tables but also about the more unorthodox uses for these spices as home remedies.
Dig into “Spice island’s” history and discover what made it an intersection of cultures, religions, and cuisines!
In the morning we will pick you up at your hotel anywhere in Zanzibar and take you to the world-famous spice farms. Along the way, you will learn about the rich history of the island.
Already ancient sailors reported islands full of scents, and Arab merchants travelled as early as the eighth century to Pemba and Unguja, the islands that make up Zanzibar, for spices. You will learn how the island got its nickname in the 15th century and learn about growing and harvesting spice plants.
You’ll find out why pepper and cloves were so valuable, and you’ll probably find out for the first time that nutmeg wrap is also a very special spice.
The queen of spices, cinnamon, has many healing properties in addition to its intoxicating aroma. To leave you in a frenzy, we won’t reveal all the spices you’ll smell, observe, touch, and taste.
In Zanzibar, accommodation options range from luxurious beachfront resorts to quaint Swahili guesthouses and eco-friendly lodges. Whether you prefer ocean-view villas or charming rooms in historic Stone Town, there’s something for every traveler’s taste and budget.
Yes, it is safe to travel to the Zanzibar Islands. This is one of the safest African destinations, even for solo female travellers.
The Zanzibar Archipelago is part of Tanzania, which is one of the most stable African countries. Tanzania is ranked as the most peaceful country in East Africa, in fact.
The local people are generally welcoming and laid-back. Thanks to the picture-perfect beaches, sunny weather, and rich culture Zanzibar is a popular tourist destination. Thus, it features all the necessary tourism infrastructure for a comfortable and safe holiday. Many international travellers enjoy their time on the islands so much that they return time and again.
Conditions do vary from beach to beach and season to season, but overall many of Zanzibar’s beaches are ideal for swimming. Depending on the tides, there can sometimes be seaweed in the water, particularly along the East Coast. You may also encounter sea urchins in the rocky shallows (especially at low tide). Watch where you walk and wear booties (diving boots) to protect your feet against the coral.
There are reef sharks in Zanzibar which are harmless. Then at Mafia Island, you can swim with whale sharks. These sharks are endangered and safe to swim and dive with. Lastly, great white sharks are occasionally spotted in the deep waters but there have been no shark attacks recorded in Zanzibar.
Erring on the side of caution, the answer is no. Muggings and robberies do happen, especially in dark alleys at night. So, don’t walk around by yourself at night.
Only take registered taxis or taxis recommended by trusted locals, your hotel or B&B, and friends. Alternatively, you can arrange an escort, to walk with you, at some hotels and restaurants.
The same rules apply in most major cities across the globe. Don’t wear flashy jewellery, or keep your valuables on you. Keep your wits about you and don’t divulge where you are staying freely. During the day you should be fine walking around on your own, but keep your eyes open.
The best time to visit Zanzibar is from mid-winter to spring or in mid-summer (southern hemisphere timing). These are Zanzibar’s dry seasons. The long dry season is over winter and spring and the short dry season is in mid-summer
Remember this is a tropical region which means the cooler temperatures of winter are still warm. So, you’ll still enjoy pleasant beach weather.
The duration of an ideal Tanzania safari can take between 5 to 10 days, to ensure you hit all the top spots on your safari. The length though can depend on how long you’d like to stay and enjoy a specific place, hotel, park on your itinerary.
