Savor different spices in their most aromatic state: cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, vanilla, black pepper and many others.

The Spice Tour also includes stops at historical monuments which are not in the Stone Town: the Maruhubi Palace ruins and the Kidichi Persian baths. Most importantly the visitor will see much more of this lush, tropical island and learn a great deal about the climate and agriculture and the lives of the people.

STONE TOWN TOUR: Among the selected places visited are:

THE CENTRAL MARKET (built in 1904) - the busiest place in town where fish, fruits, vegetables, and spices are sold seven days a week. It is fascinating to watch the ‘shamba’ lorries - trucks with locally-constructed wooden bodies - being loaded and unloaded

ANGLICAN CATHEDRAL (1874) Zanzibar was the hub of the slave trade in East Africa, until 1873 when it was abolished. On this site now stands a church.

NATIONAL MUSEUM (opened in 1925) Here can be found a collection of portraits of past Sultans and their documents, and relics of early explorers - including Dr. Livingstone's medicine chest and local arts and crafts.

TIPPU TIP’S HOUSE - with its outstanding carved door; the residence of Africa’s most notorious ivory and slave trader

BEIT-AL-AJAIB- House of Wonders (1883) - Sultan Barghash’s fabulous palace on the seafront Admired for its high ceilings and towering pillars, this used to be the Sultans Palace until 1911.

PALACE MUSEUM - former residence of the Sultan (1911-64)

PORTUGUESE FORT - the oldest structure in the Stone Town

LIVINGSTONE HOUSE - This house was once placed by the Sultan Seyyid Majid for use by the European explorer David Livingstone, while in preparation for his expedition to the mainland in 1866.


The walk from Tippu Tip’s house to the Old Fort at the seafront takes 15-25 minutes passing through Kenyatta road, past the Old Post Office and along Gizenga Street.
