Private Spice Tour in Zanzibar with Pick Up

This was a really fun and interesting experience. We were picked up at our hotel by Mwahdini and driven to the farm, where we were met by Abdi and then taken on a tour by Glassman. He showed us all of the plants and told us about their uses while his assistant made beautiful hats and bags out of leaves and flowers. We had a delicious lunch, with a vegetarian and non-vegetarian option, and had the opportunity to buy spices and perfumes/soaps. It’s obviously made for tourists, but is just lovely.

Great guides, great tour and delicious food 🥰 Can only recommend the tour was totally interesting and educational input.

Visiting the spices farm was pleasant and interesting. Our guide Ibrahim « Latutu » was kind and entertaining. We really spend a good time and recommend the tour for everyone.

I found this tour to be very interesting. The guide would crumble leaves and have you guess what spice you'd be learning about. I liked that interaction. I expected a field with rows of spices but it's not like that. I found that interesting! The guides helper made me a pretty purse, ring, necklace, and crown of palms and flowers; loved it! The guy climbing the coconut tree and then us all drinking from our individual coconut was just ok. There was the opportunity to buy spices and fruits to eat. Monkeys were playing in the forest. They were cute. Overall a good tour!

We have spend about two weeks in Paje - at this time Abdi took care of us and helped us a lot with tours and was very flexible to suit our schedule. He is very professional, knows whole Island. Tours were adjusted to our personal plans and needs. No issues with communication - Abdi speaks English very well and always checking on us if all has been delivered as promised. Summarising - very professional and individual approach, all was as agreed and planned. We highly recommend Abdi as Your local guide and person to contact if You want to explore Zanzibar and it’s best. We had an amazing time - thx Abdi and all the best!

This is one of the most beautiful trips in Zanzibar! Iur guide Abdi was attentive and very professional. The spice farm is a must see foe anyone visiting this beautiful island. Its one thing ro cook using spices, its another when u see the origins, hear the stories, taste the food and just enjoy the bountiful spices and produce this island offers. Thanks a lot Abdi foe making it a memorable trip🙏🏼🙏🏼

ABDI picked 12 of us up from our Hotel in Nungwi, and transported us to the JAMBO Spice Farm where we started the afternoon with a delicious LUNCH! They served many traditional dishes such as Rice with Coconut and Cardamom, Fried Fish, Green Banana Stew, a Tomato and Coconut sauce and a luvly Red onion relish. We dined well! Next, they let us taste some delectable local fruit, such as Watermelon, Red Bananas, and what I would describe as Pomelo (similar to a pink grapefruit, with a green skin). Then our guide walked us all over the Farm Picking, Plucking and Pointing out Flowers, Pods and Seeds of the many fragrant familiar and unfamiliar spices. Some of the highlights included Vanilla, Black and Red Pepper, Nutmeg, Huge Durian and Ginger Root. They made us the customary tropical leaf crowns and bracelets for the ladies. We even got to see ‘Mr. Butterfly’ climb to the top of a towering coconut palm. My only complaint would be the Spice Market, which had a lovely selection of Afro-Indian spices, but it was poorly lit, and wayyy overpriced compared to the larger pouches of spices we saw later in Stone Town. WHAT A LOVELY EXCURSION!

We booked private spice tour with Abdi smart it was very good organized we ate very good food,learning about the uses of spices and many more . Abdi is very friendly, knowledgeable , fluent in English, and very well known and familiar wirh Zanzibar. He is open to talk, direct and up to the point. Ver We decided to book other tour from him direct because he really knows what he is doing so If you visit zanzibar and want to enjoy your vocation please book your with Abdi .

We booked the private spice farm tour woth abdi tours and were very happy. Transport worked very well and was on time. The driver, Hussein, was very friendly. The jambo spice farm whoch we visited is a great opportunity to see the local work with spices. As the tour and communication with abdi worked so well, we booked another tour direcrly with him, which we could design to our liking. Would totally recommend.
