Discover Jozani Forest, Stone Town & Spice Tour
This private full-day experience combines three of Zanzibar’s highlights. Begin with a guided visit to Jozani Forest, continue to Stone Town for lunch and a four-hour historical walking tour, then visit a spice plantation to discover the island’s aromatic spices.
About the Jozani Forest + Stone Town + Spice Tour
Jozani Forest is a tropical nature reserve and home to endemic species, including the Zanzibar red colobus monkey. A park guide will lead you along nature trails lined with eucalyptus and mahogany trees, explaining the forest’s plants and wildlife as you explore.
Continue along the mangrove boardwalk, raised above the swamp, where you may see tropical fish between the roots and crabs across the mud, depending on the tide. Your guide will also explain the medicinal properties of various plants.
After the forest visit, drive to Stone Town for lunch before a four-hour guided tour. Explore the narrow alleys and winding streets of Zanzibar’s oldest neighbourhood, visit spice bazaars and historic palaces, see the area associated with Freddie Mercury’s childhood, and visit the 19th-century church built on the site of the former slave market. Later, continue to a spice farm to see, smell and learn about turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, cloves and nutmeg. The visit offers insight into the island’s spice heritage and Swahili cuisine.
