Next, visit a spice farm to taste what is growing and hear what each plant is used for, followed by lunch.

Continue to Salaam Cave in Kizimkazi, where you will visit the natural tidal pool where rescued sea turtles are kept and rehabilitated. Swim with them and feed them seaweed while the guides explain how the turtles arrive and what happens to them.
