Review of Zanzibar’s $61 spice farm and Swahili cooking class, with farm tips, fresh fruit, lunch, transport, costs, and practical drawbacks.
“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.”

“Our driver arrived in time and got us there safely. Our guide met us and took us to the cookbbg class. The only criticism I have is that it wasn't a class, it was a demonstration. And it wasn't 4 course; it was one buffet plus fruit later. But the food was the best Swahili for I've tasted. Our guide took us through each plant and tested our knowledge of smells and spices. We bought some lovely soaps, creams and spices, and a man such us a song as he climbed a count tree. Another man who walked with us made us crowns and ties. And our driver met us…”

“Der Ausflug hat sich zwar von angegebenen 6 Stunden auf 3,5 Stunden reduziert, was für uns aber ganz gut gepasst hat. Wir waren nur zu zweit, keine anderen Gäste. Als wir ankamen, ging es direkt los mit dem Kochen mit einer local African Mama. Jeder hat was zu schneiden bekommen und es wurde bisschen was erklärt. Ein Rezept wäre toll gewesen. Während das Essen gekocht hat, wurden wir super unterhaltsam und informativ über die Gewürzfarm geführt. Danach gab es das gemeinsame Abendessen. Vor Ort kann man Gewürze kaufen, muss aber gut verhandeln.”
