Program details

Inizia il tour gastronomico di Zanzibar in una fattoria locale di spezie, in cui avrai la possibilità di degustare prodotti di stagione e imparare le tecniche agricole locali. Oltre a cannella, cardamomo, zenzero, noce moscata, pepe, vaniglia, zafferano e curry, qui si coltivano anche ananas, limoni, lime, arance, pompelmi, noci di cocco e che puoi gustare direttamente dagli alberi in cui sono cresciuti.

We begin our Zanzibar food tour at the source – a local spice farm. Here, you’ll get a chance to taste seasonal samples and learn local farming techniques. Think Zanzibar only farms spices? Think again! On top of your spicy favourites like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, chilli, vanilla, saffron, and curry, they also cultivate pineapples, jackfruits, lemons, limes, oranges, pomelos, durians, and coconuts which you may get to taste straight from the tree!



After snacking on a variety of fresh fruits, we’ll head over to a nearby farming village. This is a rare opportunity to explore a local village off the tourist route and experience local life, work, and development just as it is.



From there, we’ll visit a local farmer to see her small cassava farm. After trying our hand at African farming, she’ll take us to her outdoor kitchen for a local cooking lesson. All the ingredients used for the vegetarian dish are fresh from the village and nearby farmland. Every wanted to know how to make coconut milk from a fresh coconut? Now’s your chance!



Our Zanzibar tour will end with a tasty Swahili lunch, including the dish we prepared as well as spiced rice, bananas, and local in-season produce. Feeling satisfied, we’ll head back to Stone Town. On our way, make sure to ask your local guide about other off-the-beaten-path adventures in Zanzibar.
