Stone Town + Spice Farm Tour Combo

This excursion brings together two essential sides of Zanzibar: Stone Town, the historic heart of the archipelago, and a spice farm, to discover the plantations that shaped the island's identity. An ideal format for combining heritage, local culture and food. This is a private excursion, with a French-speaking guide throughout.

The visit begins in Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site: Darajani Market, the former slave market, the Anglican cathedral, the lanes of the old town, the carved doors and the historic buildings. The route brings out the mix of African, Arab, Indian and European influences that shaped Zanzibar.

The excursion then heads for the plantations in the centre of the island for a spice farm tour. Cinnamon, clove, vanilla, nutmeg, ginger, pepper and other aromatic plants are presented directly in their natural setting. The visit is punctuated with tastings of fresh fruit and spices, before a traditional Swahili meal prepared on the spot. An experience between history, local traditions, the scent of spices and Swahili flavours.
