Zanzibar: Day Trip Stone Town, Spice Tour, Prison Island
Overview
Your Itinerary:
- Stone Town Walking Tour: Step back in time as we explore the 19th-century capital. We’ll visit the moving historic slave markets, bustling daily bazaars, and narrow winding alleys that showcase a unique blend of Arabian, Indian, and European influences.
- Spice Farm & Swahili Lunch: We’ll drive to a local plantation to discover why Zanzibar is world-famous for its spices. Smell and taste fresh cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, and cloves. After the tour, enjoy a traditional Swahili lunch prepared with farm-fresh ingredients.
