Zanzibar

A visit to Stone Town (1/2 day):
Stone Town is the oldest district of Zanzibar with many houses and buildings made of light coral stone. The city has many Arab influences. You are given a guided tour through the beautiful winding streets.

Cooking together with the Tanzanian mamas (three hours):
You will take a cooking course and learn about the variety of local spices, vegetables and regional ingredients. Together, with the help of Tanzanian mamas, you will prepare original Tanzanian dishes, which you can then enjoy yourself. Chakula Kizuri!

A visit to a spice farm (1/2 day):
For many years, Zanzibar was the only clove producer in the world. A visit to a spice plantation is worth it! You see cinnamon, turmeric, cloves, pepper, vanilla, etc., growing and being harvested. You can also taste a lot yourself.

Additionally, you can book a cooking class following your spice farm experience. In this course, you will work with the local women to incorporate the spices you have just learned about into traditional dishes.

Prison Island (1/2 day):
Take a trip to Prison Island with your private tour guide. You'll see the old prison that was built, never used as prison but instead as quarantine station for yellow fever, as Stown Town threatened a yellow fever epidemic which could have spilled over into all of East Africa. You have some time to explore the island's sandy beach, do a bit of snorkeling, and possibly meet the giant tortoises that live on the island.
