Hotel pickup — morning or afternoon Your driver collects you from your hotel and transfers you to the spice farm.

Farm walk and introduction — Walk through the plantation with your guide, stopping at each crop to see, smell and taste it where possible. Expect to encounter cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, cardamom, turmeric, lemongrass and more, depending on the farm and the season. Your guide will explain how each spice is grown, harvested and processed, along with its role in Zanzibar's trading history.

Fruit tasting — Most visits finish with a tasting of fresh tropical fruit grown on or near the farm — a refreshing way to end the walk.

Spice shopping — Browse and buy spices, oils and local products directly from the farm, often at better prices and quality than in town markets.

Return transfer Your driver returns you to your hotel.
