Spice Up Your Life in Zanzibar

Head to a local farm to learn about the island’s spices, visit the ancient buildings in Stone Town, and more on this DreamTrip to Zanzibar.

About Your Trip

Delight your senses and discover why Zanzibar is known as the “Spice Island” when you set foot on a local spice farm to smell and taste the island’s popular varieties. Your seasoned guide will also show you an array of plants and describe the medicinal uses of certain spices.

After savoring a traditional lunch on the farm, your adventure continues to Stone Town’s slave quarters and the Old Fort of Zanzibar. Marvel at the ancient ruins of the fort, which was once a prison. Inside the fort, you’ll find an open-air venue that is now used for festivals and performances.

What we love:
• Although Zanzibar’s area is only 950 square miles (1,528 square kilometers), it produces over 80% of the world's cloves. The Spice Island is also one of the world’s leading producers of nutmeg and cinnamon.
• Stone Town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2000 — it’s a remarkably well-preserved example of a traditional Swahili trading town.
• The Old Fort of Zanzibar is now the headquarters for the annual Zanzibar International Film Festival.

Destination

Tropical perfection meets vibrant, Stone Town culture on the Tanzanian island of Zanzibar. Let warm waters and sugary beaches set the scene for exciting local fare on the Spice Island. Fans of bold flavors and other zests will love Zanzibar, from its fragrant market to its range of locally cultivated spices.

The island’s valuable crops made it a popular port for international traders. Omani Arabs constructed the Old Fort of Zanzibar in the early 1700s, after they wrested it from Portuguese control in 1698. Today, Zanzibar is a popular tourist destination and continues to grow world-class spices.
