About This Tour
Stone Town is a vibrant hub where Arabic, African, Indian, and European cultures blend seamlessly. As you stroll through its maze-like streets, too narrow for cars, you'll encounter mosques, churches, and temples standing side-by-side. Zanzibar's spices and herbs have roots dating back to the 16th century, introduced by Portuguese traders from their colonies in South America and India. Begin your spice tour with a guided walk through a local spice farm (shamba), where you'll learn about the cultivation and uses of various spices, herbs, and fruits. Prison Island, built as a prison in 1893 and now part of a hotel, hosts a tortoise sanctuary that shelters a large population of giant tortoises brought from Seychelles in the late 19th century.
