Private Zanzibar Spices Tour

  • 8 reviews | 46 travellers
    Very nice experience, they picked us up at 9 at our resort to head to the spice forest. Once there we met Zaccaria, our Zanzibari friend who speaks Italian who guided us in the forest explaining the name of the plants and their use by the Zanzibar community. Tour ended with the possibility of buying spices, lasted about 1 hour and a half. Recommended
