SPICE TOUR
Zanzibar has earned its reputation over the centuries as the
spice island.Its a half day tour that starts with a drive through a profusion
of greenery in the countryside,you will be walking on different type of spice
plantations-some are cloves,cardamom,cinnamon, black-pepper,turmeric,nutmeg etc.
The tour involves much more than spices and you will also
have a chance to see the iodine plant, heena bush, ylang-ylang, the lipstick
tree, cocoa , vanilla, cassava, dasheen cocoyam and coffee plantations. The
tour also gives you the opportunity to explore the zanzibar richness of
mouth-watering tropical seasonal fruits like jack fruit, pineapples, bananas,
green coconut (madafu),dourian, love apple(matufaa),rambutun (shoki-shoki),soursop (mabungo)and starfruit (carambola).
The henna tree produces a dye from its crushed leaves used
by women to elaborately decorate their hands and feet in delicate patterns.On
the tour you’ll have the opportunity to have a body part painted, but by quick
drying Indian ink, as henna takes all day to dry.
The guides give detailed descriptions of what the various
plants are used for, though not all of them are for food. The leaves of the
neem tree were once used as a cure for malaria and indigestion,the iodine tree
produces a deep red sap used to fight infection,while the foaming berries of
the unimaginatively named soap berry tree were used for centuries as an
alternative to soap.

dolphins,they are very social, friendly and playful-if you are luck you even

strange and wonderful animals residing in and below the canopy of old giants.
Presently it is the habitat for the Red Colobus Monkeys

one of the most endangered and rarest species in the world and only found in
Zanzibar.

snakes.
