On arrival at Zanzibar airport you will be met and transferred to the
Serena Hotel in Stone Town where you will overnight the next two nights
on a bed and breakfast basis.
On one of the days, follow your nose through an intoxicating Spice Tour. Depart from Zanzibar town via new settlements
and small scale industries. Out in
the countryside, pass by cultivations of
Cashew nuts and Kasawa (Cassava), a staple
diet of Zanzibaris. Visit several small, private
farms growing exotic fruits and spices.
Taste fruits in season such as Breadfruit,
Jack fruit, Papaya, Pineapple, Star fruit,
Mango, Banana, Avocado and even the foul smelling
Durian.
Sample the strange or perhaps familiar
aromas of spices such as Cinnamon,
Cardomom, Nutmeg, Black Pepper and
Zanzibar’s most famous spice - the Clove.
Learn about various plants with special uses
such as the Iodine plant, the Elangi-elangi
tree, the Hennae bush and the Mbirimbi
tree.
Continue the tour with a visit to one of several
Persian baths, before a stop for refreshments.
Return towards town, stopping en route to
see the Maruhubi Palace ruins, originally
built by the great Sultan Barghash. A final
stop at Livingstone house before finishing
the tour.
The marvelous Zanzibar Serena is centrally located
on the seafront of Zanzibar's Stone Town. The recent renovation
and rehabilitation of two of Zanzibar's historic and romantic
old buildings has created an attractive, traditional style
