About the
tour
Spice
tour in Zanzibar is an half day private tour which is regarded as the top 2 day
trips in Zanzibar, tropical fruits, herbs, spices and other rarely species of
other plants are among the different vegetation to be seen on this guided tour.
It
is not only a day tour, but is a really experience to prove why Zanzibar is
referred to as the Spice Island. Over the centuries, Zanzibar's cloves, nutmeg,
cinnamon, pepper and many other spices brought by the sultan of Oman across the
Indian Ocean by dhow on the seasonal trade winds. The guide gives detailed
descriptions of what the various plants are used for, though not all of them
are for food. The leaves of the need tree were once used as a cure for malaria
and indigestion, the iodine tree produces a deep red sap used to fight
infection, while the foaming berries of the unimaginatively named soap berry
tree were used for centuries as an alternative to soap. Other spices include
nutmeg, ginger, vanilla, tamarind, menthol and cloves.
The
island was once known as the world's leading producer of cloves, the henna tree
produces a dye from its crushed leaves used by women to elaborately decorate
their hands and feet in delicate patterns.
On
the tour you may have the opportunity to have a body part painted, but by quick
drying Indian ink, as henna takes all day to dry
