Explore Zanzibar’s spice farms, Stone Town, and Prison Island with lunch, tortoises, boat rides, and practical tips for a full day out.

“Guide was excellent (Masi) Spice Farm was fascinating, great opportunity to support local. Lunch traditional swahili food. Prison Island and the tortoise sanctuary well worth a visit. Be aware getting on and off the boat is tricky and you will get wet as you are knee deep in the water. Stone Town fascinating, our guide was superb. Biggest criticism was there was a lot of waiting around in very hot weather and the group was too big for a Stone Town tour, couldn't hear the guide over the noise so missed half of what was said. Would be useful to know how many is in your group as this did…”

For every question we had, he shared an informed answer and opinion. He took his time to explain things and show us around without rushing. We visited various landmarks and learned far more about Zanzibar than we could imagine. Could not recommend this more, it was our favourite experience in Tanzania! Very professional and personalised experience!”
