Fresh spices held in hands at a Zanzibar spice farm

Kizimbani, central

Spice Farms

Working plantations inland where cloves, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon still grow in rows.

The spice trade built Zanzibar's economy and the farms around Kizimbani are still worked by hand.

The tour is sensory rather than scenic: you crush, smell and taste your way around and finish with a Swahili lunch.
