Itinerary and highlights
We’ll start by walking through Stone Town, or Mji Mkongwe, which means "Ancient Town”. This historic trade center with Swahili & Islamic influences was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status. Our walk will be 2 - 3 hours. You’ll be immersed in the special history of this unique, indigenous place.
We’ll wander through amazing narrow streets, by antique shops, exceptional handmade Arabic & Indian style doors, and visit historic buildings and local museums. We’ll view the main slave market of East Africa, a Portuguese fortress, the landmark House of Wonder and a local bazaar. We’ll also stop for local coffee or ginger tea, and make time for shopping too.
After our Stone Town excursion we’ll visit a local Spice Farm. We'll spend 2 hrs. at the Spice Farm, experiencing many different spices and discovering plants, scents and tastes of cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, nutmeg, ginger, turmeric, coffee, and more.
We’ll finish with a spectacular coconut tree climber show, who sings local songs while picking coconuts high in the branches of the tree. Finally, we’ll stop at a spice table, where you can see the processed spices and can buy some unique gifts to take home with you.
