A Zanzibar Spice Tour is a hands-on way to discover another side of the island beyond its beaches. Instead of seeing dried spices packaged in shops and markets, you can walk among the actual plants, trees, roots and vines from which they come.
At Kizimbani Spice Farm, your local guide will help you identify different plants and explain how spices are cultivated, harvested and used. You can smell fresh spices, taste seasonal fruits and discover how surprisingly different many familiar ingredients look while they are still growing.
The experience combines agriculture, culture and local knowledge, giving you a better understanding of the important role spices continue to play in Zanzibar.
One of the memorable moments of the Zanzibar Spice Tour is the traditional coconut-climbing demonstration.
Watch as an experienced local climber makes his way up a coconut palm and learn about the importance of coconut trees in everyday island life. The demonstration adds an entertaining and distinctly Zanzibari element to your visit to the spice farm.
Spices have played an important part in Zanzibar’s history, culture and economy. The island’s tropical climate and fertile soils support a wide variety of aromatic plants, with cloves becoming particularly closely associated with Zanzibar.
Cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, turmeric and other plants also contribute to the island’s long spice-growing tradition.
Visiting Kizimbani Spice Farm allows you to connect this history with Zanzibar today by seeing how the plants actually grow and learning about their uses directly from a local guide.
Many spice plants look very different from the finished ingredients we recognise in kitchens and markets.
A knowledgeable local guide can help you identify them by their leaves, bark, roots, vines, fruits and aromas while explaining how they are grown, harvested and traditionally used.
Being able to smell fresh cinnamon, discover nutmeg inside its fruit or see vanilla growing on a vine makes the experience far more interesting than simply walking through the plantation alone.
Kizimbani Spice Farm can be visited throughout the year, making the Zanzibar Spice Tour easy to include in most Zanzibar holidays.
Different plants and tropical fruits grow or ripen at different times, so what you see and taste may vary according to the season.
You can choose either a morning or afternoon tour, depending on what works best with the rest of your Zanzibar itinerary.
Discover Zanzibar’s spices with a knowledgeable local guide who can explain the plants, traditions and everyday uses behind what you see.
