City, Spice & Prison Island Tour
Your journey begins with a scenic transfer from Mtende to Stone Town, Zanzibar’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, where narrow alleys, carved wooden doors, and lively markets bring history to life. Explore iconic landmarks such as the House of Wonders and the Sultan’s Palace while capturing the charm of Swahili culture. Next, head to lush spice plantations where expert guides introduce you to cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, explaining their culinary, medicinal, and cultural significance. Taste freshly picked spices and tropical fruits before continuing your adventure with a boat ride to Prison Island. Once a quarantine station, the island is now home to giant Aldabra tortoises, some centuries old. Relax on white sandy beaches, snorkel among vibrant coral gardens and tropical fish, and enjoy a freshly prepared Swahili lunch. With a blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, this private tour offers an immersive Zanzibar experience before returning to Mtende.
