Stone Town Walking Tour – Spice Tour, Jozani Forest, Nungwi This morning we go on a walking tour of Stone Town, when you can admire the beautiful Arabic architecture, sultans’ palaces and Zanzibar’s famous ornate carved doors. We visit the House of Wonders, the Palace Museum, the Arab Fort, and a mosque, among many other attractions, and you will meet the exceptionally friendly Swahili people as you explore the narrow alleyways and lively squares. The Spice Tour is one of the most popular tours in Zanzibar, which historically was one of the world’s leading producers of spices such as clove, nutmeg and cinnamon and is how it earned the nickname of the ‘Spice Island’. You visit an organic farm to touch, smell and taste the spices, and learn their traditional uses in medicine, cosmetics and cooking. After this educational tour, we have a sumptuous lunch at our guide’s home, when you can also sample Zanzibar’s exotic fruits. After lunch we take you to your beach resort, and on the way visit the delightful Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park—at 50-sq-km, this is Zanzibar’s only national park and its last remaining tract of indigenous tropical rain-forest and a biodiversity hot spot. On a nature trail and mangrove swamp boardwalk lined with impressive eucalyptus and mahogany trees, a guide will explain the medicinal properties of various plants, and you’ll see numerous butterflies, birds and small mammals, and hopefully the Zanzibar red colobus monkey which is endemic to the island. We will then head to our beach resort at Nungwi on Zanzibar’s north coast, a top favourite for its white sand, clear waters, and romantic sunsets and the perfect place to relax for a couple of days.

You can do as much or as little as you feel like, and can simply unwind in a Zanzibar hammock on the beach with a good book and a glass of your favourite beverage, or go snorkeling or scuba diving in the crystal-clear turquoise warm sea to see the coral reefs teeming with colourful marine life.
