Spice tour:
I prefer the Government spice farm; drop off for a walk from plot to plots which grow/plant spices, fruits and some veggies. (Dig, pick, taste and smell some roots, leaves, fruits and barks of different spices) then guess exactly what you see, sense and experience. Drinking of tea follows such as masala, lemongrass and vanilla all these come with sweet Zanzibar peanut brittles. Watching a coconut climber is an ingredient of a tour (Drink some young coconuts n tasting all seasonal fruits. It takes 3 hours
Jozani Forest Red (colobus monkeys):
It takes 35 minutes for a car drive heading down South/East of the Island. Visiting the rainforest, walk on the mangrove swamp bridge for a chance to hear lots about the species of mangroves available, seeing the red colobus monkeys which are to be endemic” to be only found on this Island. It’s all about flora and fauna. Takes 3hrs
Heading up north seventy minutes maximum for a car drive from the Stone town. It includes transfers, boat, swimming gears, meal and marine conservation fees. We also recommend clients from Stone town leaving at six. As the late departure the less chance to see the dolphins cause the water temperature will become warmer. Not only that but also the boat's increments cause the dolphins' scare so it is not very comfortable for both sides. Great snorkeling is done along the Atoll where you can see beautiful corals and countless species of fishes such as angel ones, zebras, lions, saladins, trumpets etc. It’s a half day trip, seafood platter served with chips and rice plus coconut curry.
