A Complete Zanzibar Spice Tour Guide: A Must Do Activity.
Historically and now, Zanzibar is one of the world’s leading producers of spices. For good reason, that location is referred to as the “Spice Island.” Spice plantations such as this are seen on many of the tours that leave Stone Town.
I strongly recommend doing one of these trips if you’re curious about the origins of the cinnamon in your spice cupboard. I never stop to consider the origins of ground spices when I see a jar of them. It is incomparable because it is how a fruit or vegetable would look when it is grown and eaten. However, you will get answers to all of your questions if you do enroll in one of these excursions.
Spice excursions in Zanzibar are one of the most popular activities offered. Take a leisurely three-hour trip to the Masingini Forest’s spice plantations.
During the trip, an experienced guide will take you around the spice plantation. You will learn about the various Zanzibari fruits and spices in these workshops. At the very end, a variety of fruits and spices will be offered for tasting.
