WHERE EVERY SCENT TELLS A STORY

Zanzibar Spice Tour

The history of Zanzibar would be incomplete without the cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and many other spices. The Island was one of the world's leading producers of cloves and the clove industry was the foundation of the golden Zanzibar. You will walk through spice plantations (shamba) where you can see how the spices, herbs and fruits are grown and cultivated and your tour guide will describe how the crops can be used. You will be smelling and tasting a wide variety of spices, herbs and tropical fruits such as cloves, lemon grass, nutmegs, cinnamon, vanilla and jackfruit. It’s inevitable. Spices were first introduced by the Portuguese back in the 16th century, when they were transported over from colonies in Goa and Brazil. It wasn’t until the Omanis arrived, though, several hundred years later, that the spice trade truly thrived.
