zanzibar Spice Tour

Over the centuries, Zanzibar’s cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper and many other spices brought the sultans of Oman across the Indian Ocean by dhow on the seasonal trade winds. Most tours are by dala-dala (pick-up trucks converted into buses) and include yummy lunches of seafood or Zanzibar curry, coconut milk, and plenty of fresh fruit. The exotic spices and fruits are grown in the plantations just outside of Stone Town and there’s ample opportunity to dazzle the senses as you taste and smell them and guess what they are.

From there we will do some snorkeling with a guide and teacher to see the stunning array of coloured corals and tropical fish of the islands.

Mangapwani Cave

The Mangapwani Slave Chamber is a few kilometres further up the coast from the Coral Cave. Although sometimes called the Slave Cave, it is a square-shaped cell that has been cut out of the coralline rock, with a roof on top. It was originally built for storing slaves, and its construction is attributed to one Mohammed bin Nassor Al-Alwi, an important slave trader.

Sightseeing in Zanzibar

Stone Town , on the western shore of Unguja Island, is the seat of the government of Zanzibar and the capital of this region. The city is named for the large multi-story "stone" buildings in the old quarter. Unlike other houses in the region, the stone houses of Zanzibar were actually constructed with coral and mortar, not stone and were built in the boom times of the slave trade in the 15th century. Most of the old houses stand out for their remarkable doors – the famous carved and studded wooden doors of Zanzibar

Deep Sea Fishing

We operate Game Fishing with the Fibre boat around Bawe Island and Murogo. Deep sea fishing, sometimes called sport or big game fishing is a form of fishing in which people fish for large open-ocean fish species, like tuna, shark and swordfish.
This type of fishing is meant to be enjoyable, in that fighting big game fish can be a real challenge, and it also provides a source of food, depending on whether people keep or release their catch. Deep sea fishing is practiced in many regions of the world, and it is often possible to charter a boat for sport fishing if you

are visiting or living in a coastal community.
