Begin your adventure with a visit to a spice plantation. Walk through the lush fields and get the chance to see, smell, and taste tropical spices and fruits like cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, chili, ginger, vanilla, lemongrass, lemon mint, turmeric, nutmeg, and cloves. Learn about the nature of spices and how they are grown in Zanzibar.
End your plantation tour with a unique experience: watch a local performer, known as the "human butterfly," climb a coconut tree while singing the "Hakuna Matata" song.
Next, head to Jozani Forest, where you’ll explore the natural beauty of Zanzibar. Walk through the forest and encounter the friendly red monkeys, known for their unique four fingers and no thumb. These special monkeys are white on their chest and red on their back, and they only eat green and young fruits and vegetables.
Continue your forest adventure and spot other forest species like the digidigi, elephant shrew, and chameleons. Visit the mangroves area and learn how these vital ecosystems are grown.
