Zanzibar is more than just pristine beaches and turquoise waters, it is also famously known as the Spice Island. With its rich history in spice cultivation and centuries of cultural exchange, Zanzibar offers a food scene that is as diverse as it is delicious. Exploring the spice island flavors is one of the best ways to connect with its culture and people.

1. Spice Plantation Tours

No trip to Zanzibar is complete without visiting a spice farm. Here you can see, smell, and taste cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and vanilla in their natural form. Our guided tours allow you to learn how these spices shaped Zanzibar’s history while experiencing fresh flavors straight from the source.

2. Zanzibari Street Food

In Stone Town, the Forodhani Night Market comes alive every evening. Here, you can try freshly grilled seafood skewers, Zanzibar pizza, sugarcane juice, and samosas. It’s a bustling atmosphere where locals and travelers come together to enjoy authentic bites.
