Zanzibar: Spice Farm Tour with Traditional Cooking Class

6.Spice Farm Tour with Traditional Cooking Class

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 16 reviews · 5 hours · from $61

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.”
