Day 01

Jozani Forest, Spice Farm, and Stone Town

Pickup: Hotel pickup is after breakfast. It is a long day, so an early start matters.

Jozani Forest: Walk through the forest in Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park to see the Zanzibar red colobus and blue monkeys.

Spice farm: Visit a working spice farm, where the growers show you the plants, let you taste what they produce, and explain how each is used in a Zanzibari kitchen. Lunch is a spiced meal cooked on the farm, served with tropical fruit.

Stone Town: In the afternoon, explore Stone Town on foot with your guide, including the Old Fort, the House of Wonders (closed for restoration since 2020 and seen from outside), the Sultan's palace, the former slave market site, Darajani market, and the lanes between them.

Return: Transfer back to your hotel. The tour lasts about 7 hours in total.
