Jambo Spice Farm - Starting your day with an adventure outside of the city, you will be driven to Kidichi to visit a spice farm. The Spice Tour is one of the most popular excursions in Zanzibar, the Spice Island. It got it’s nick name as a result of being one of the worlds’ most important producers of spices such as clove, nut- meg and cinnamon in the 19th century, after the abolition of the slave trade.
However, spices and herbs were originally introduced to Zanzibar by Portuguese traders in the 16th century, brought from their colonies in South America and India.
