“Extremely fun and enlightening tour! We learned so much about all the different spices they grow at the farm. Not to mention, the staff were so incredibly friendly and kind! Only downside was that we did not cook the food with them. Rather they showed us some of the ingredients for one of the side dishes, which we slightly helped out with. Otherwise, a lovely experience! Highly recommend:)”
Tour Zanzibar’s spices, harvest local ingredients, and cook a Swahili meal at Jambo Spice Farm, with hotel pickup and lunch included.
“Great experience! Big farm with many different kinds of spices. We liked how to tour guide always made us guess the spices and all about them. The cooking class was interesting, but we felt a bit unwanted. The ladies showed us how to prepare the dishes, but did not seem interested in speaking to us. Would be better to have a shared cooking class rather than private. At each single stop they've always asked us for tips which was annoying. Overall we recommend the tour.”

There was also a lack of communication with the provider, which we thought was really bad. The spice farm was nice. We got to try many spices directly from the plants. We smelled them, and we touched some of them, too! We also tried many tropical fruits, such as red bananas and small mangoes. Literally everyone asked us for tips, which left a bitter aftertaste, and the tour lost some of its authenticity. The cooking class…”
