À vivre

Zanzibar's famous Spice Tour invites you on a sensory immersion at the heart of a genuine spice garden. Cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, cardamom, lemongrass, pepper and cloves have thrived here for centuries, bearing witness to the island's rich history in the spice trade. Accompanied by a local guide, you'll discover the secrets of these plants with their many uses — plants you can touch, smell, taste, and sometimes even help process.
Be aware, though, that this excursion can sometimes disappoint. Highly popular, it draws large tourist groups, and some visits lack authenticity, becoming more commercial than informative. It's worth choosing your operator carefully: favour small local outfits, off the standard circuits, for a more authentic, intimate experience that is respectful of the place and its communities.
The Spice Tour can be rewarding when well run, but it deserves to be chosen with care to avoid the impression of a “tourist trap”.
