So many monkeys!
Such a fantastic experience! The tour company provides basically a private driver to coordinate with Jozani and the spice farm, but the tours themselves are conducted by a Jozani forest ranger and spice farm guide, respectively. We saw so many monkeys up close and the park ranger was so passionate about conservation of the forest and mangroves. The paths and bridges were well maintained and easy to walk on. The spice farm tour guides were so kind and friendly! There was no real pressure to purchase anything - if you say no they move on. Some haggling is necessary on the spices if you’re interested in purchasing but that’s par for the course in Zanzibar. Would definitely recommend!

you have to try it!!!
I really enjoyed my stay in Zanzibar thanks to the many activities I was able to do, everything always went very well and very well organized. I was able to swim with dolphins, do the blue safari, discover many things at Jozani Forest and Spice Farm, I also had the chance to see lions at the Safari, swim with turtles and enjoy this turquoise blue water and its white sands. I recommend 100%

It was beautiful to walk in a red mahogany forest and to see the red colobus monkeys in their habitat.
The spice tour was fun and incredibly informative!

Great experience
Our driver was very nice, picked us up and drove us around to both experiences. Our guide at the spice farm was extremely friendly making jokes, telling stories and asking for tips like everyone does around here. The Jozani forest was very interesting and exotic and we met a lot of monkeys.

An amazing experience
Amazing. I paid for a private tour as I wanted a more intimate experience. The day was great, from learning about and see the monkeys to the spices on the spice farm. I had a wonderful time. The guides were so informative and I learnt so much. I would highly recommend

Spicy tour 😅
The spice tour with Zanziflowers Tours in Zanzibar was an absolute delight! The guide's extensive knowledge about each tree and spice was truly impressive. Their explanations were engaging and insightful, providing a deeper understanding of the region's rich spice heritage. It was fascinating to learn about the origins, uses, and benefits of various spices. This tour not only awakened my senses but also gave me a new appreciation for the flavors we often take for granted. Kudos to Zanziflowers Tours for offering such an educational and flavorful experience!

Very disappointing experience, fake guide
Not worth the money to go there. The tour was too short for what we paid. Only saw a few monkeys, most of which where high on the trees. The worst thing is that our guide seemed to be aware that there's not much to see and would go and give us useless information about voodoo people that turn into donkeys and this kind of bs on order to make the tour last a little longer.

Dear Customer,we’re very sorry for that,but in exact case the guide has to show u and explain everything about the nature ,in monkeys party are moving from one place to another whenever you see the group on that day that’s are the monkeys group to see during your tour because it’s nature ,they are freelance to move,is not zoo it it’s a park so they can move ,about voodoo normally in a historic of Zanzibar and most of Africa there voodoos so that during the night at the time they used a forest place during the night for Voodoos a place,which is for this time there no longer any more not that those information our guide has to explain so that u get acknowledge about what we zanzibar had for that time .
Kindly you’re more welcoming to get more information from our experience guide .we will make sure to give u an experience guide who can explain you in formative ways to make you happy and enjoy our services.
Thanks in advance welcome to zanzibar,Tanzania
