Zanzibar is also known as “spice island” and there’s a good reason for that!

Early settlers soon learned that the island was perfect for growing a variety of different spices. As a result, there are lots of spice farms on the island. You’ll also taste the spices in the food, of course!

One fun thing to do is to take a spice tour where you can visit a spice farm and learn about how they grow and process all the different spices.
