Suburban adventures – we kick off our adventure by cycling through the suburbs of Zanzibar Town. Here, you’ll witness the rhythm of daily life as you pass by bustling shops and local businesses. The terrain may take you uphill for a bit, but it’s a small price to pay for the breathtaking scenery that awaits.
Immersive city exploration – as we navigate the city’s maze of small streets, keep an eye out for friendly faces lounging on the Barazas, the traditional Swahili meeting place. Our route includes suburban stretches and vibrant urban roads, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and scents of the area.
Nature’s companions – leaving the urban area behind, we embark on a road less travelled, where nature takes centre stage. Look up, and you might be greeted by the playful presence of the famous Red Colobus monkeys, a reminder of Zanzibar’s lush and diverse ecosystem.
Spice paradise awaits – our journey leads us to the captivating world of Zanzibar’s spice plantations. Here, you’ll discover the rich history of clove cultivation, once the lifeblood of Zanzibar’s economy. Learn about the spice trade that drew explorers like Vasco da Gama to these shores, driven by the allure of cloves, once more valuable than gold. Our guided tour lets you smell, guess, and taste an array of spices, a sensory experience that will leave you in awe.
Swahili feast – lunchtime Delight After our spice adventure, indulge in a delicious Swahili lunch prepared just for you. Savour the flavours and aromas of local cuisine while taking in the serene surroundings of the spice farm.
Homeward bound with local insights – as we bid farewell to the spice paradise, our return journey takes us across the Masingini forest, an offroad, mostly downhill ride. We’ll then unveil the secret back roads of Stone Town and its surroundings, offering a fascinating glimpse into Swahili life once again.
Optional: Masingini forest stroll – for those seeking even more adventure, consider combining your tour with a walk in the enchanting Masingini Forest, a tranquil oasis of greenery.
