A Rainy but Remarkable Solo Tour: Spice Farm, Stone Town & A Perfect Ending - My solo Zanzibar Stone Town Historical Tour and Spice Farm Tour was an incredible experience, even with the rainy weather! The day began at the Spice Farm, where I was welcomed with warm smiles despite the drizzle. Walking through the lush, rain-soaked plantation was a unique experience— the earthy scent of wet soil mixed with the rich aromas of cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg made everything feel even more vibrant. My guide was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining the history and uses of each spice while letting me touch, smell, and even taste them fresh from the trees. Despite the rain, the enthusiasm of the local farmers and the fun demonstration by the "Spice King" kept the experience engaging. I even got to sip on fresh coconut water straight from the source! In the afternoon, I explored Stone Town, weaving through its narrow, maze-like streets as my guide shared the deep history of Zanzibar. From the bustling Darajani Market to the imposing Old Fort and the iconic House of Wonders, every corner of the town had a story to tell. Visiting the former slave market was especially moving—it was a powerful reminder of the island’s past. The rain only added to the atmosphere, making the historic buildings and carved doors glisten under the soft light. To wrap up the perfect day, I enjoyed an amazing meal at Silk Route, one of Stone Town’s most popular restaurants. The warm ambiance and rich flavors of Indian cuisine made for a delightful dining experience. The butter naan, flavorful curries, and fresh seafood were a perfect way to end the journey. Sitting by the window, enjoying the view of the harbor, I soaked in the last moments of Zanzibar’s charm. With a full heart and a satisfied appetite, I made my way to the Zanzibar Express ferry, taking in the last glimpses of the island as I sailed back to Dar es Salaam. As a solo traveler, I truly appreciated the personal touch of the tour. My guide Ali, tailored the experience to my pace and interests, making it feel immersive and personal. The combination of the spice farm’s natural beauty, Stone Town’s rich history, and an unforgettable meal made for a 5-star experience.

Would recommend - The spice tour was amazing! We learned so much, and the guides went above and beyond to make the tour funny and interactive.

Great Zanzibar experience - The guide and the owner of the company are very patient in answering all the questions I have during the trip. Stuffs sold at the spice farm are not cheap. You can find cheaper ones else where.

Worth the time and money - Our guide Daudi was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and cared about giving us a great experience. He walked us through the spice farm and did an excellent job touring us around Stone Town. I highly recommend him to anyone who visits Zanzibar.

Spice Farm Tour in zanzibar - The tour was wonderful! The driver, Ali, was friendly and pointed out things on the way to the farm as well. The spice tour guide was also sweet and showed us the plants of many spices we routinely use in eating. There was slight inconsistency in what was included but overall a walk through the spice garden and fruit tasting plus a stop where spices were available to purchase.
