Start your day with a visit to a local spice farm, where you'll explore the origins of Zanzibar’s nickname, The Spice Island. Walk through the aromatic plantation as your guide introduces you to cloves, vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon, turmeric, and other exotic spices. Learn how they are grown, harvested, and used in both traditional and modern Zanzibari cuisine.
Then, enjoy a hands-on Swahili cooking class using fresh ingredients and spices picked directly from the farm. Under the guidance of a local chef, you'll prepare a delicious, authentic meal—from coconut-based curries to pilau rice and fresh tropical salads. After the class, relax and savor your self-made Zanzibari lunch.
In the afternoon, head to the peaceful Kuza Cave—a hidden gem near Jambiani. This ancient limestone cave features crystal-clear turquoise water perfect for a relaxing swim. Enjoy a short cultural introduction to the cave's local significance and take in the natural beauty of this tranquil, sacred site.
This tour blends culinary heritage, culture, and natural wonder—perfect for travelers seeking a rich, interactive Zanzibar experience.
