The Spice Tour (with cooking class)

In our Zanzibar cooking class, we try to go back to traditional cooking by explaining the origins of spices, their significance in
Zanzibar cuisine and using the old methods as practiced by our ancestors.

Commencing at the ruins of the Maruhubi Palace, via the site of David Livingston’s house (one of Africa’s greatest explorers) the journey continues north toward the Kidichi Persian Baths. From here we continue to the rural areas where local farmers live & produce some of the world’s most exotic fruit and spices. Cloves, star fruit, ‘bulls heart’, tangerine trees, lemon grass, mangosteen, and lip-stick trees, to name
but a few, are what you can expect to see – according to the seasons. Perhaps you will fancy buying a basket of freshly picked spices to take home with you!
