Highlights
Ready to explore the native culture of Zanzibar? This full-day tour begins with hotel pickup and a trip to Jozani. Instead of the forest, we’ll explore the surrounding area, starting at the Pangoni Caves to uncover legends of Zanzibar’s past. Next, we’ll visit a traditional village, welcomed by the mganga (healer), who’ll share ancestral wisdom and healing practices. We’ll stroll through the village, observe daily life, and join a handicraft workshop with locals. Then, we’ll head to nearby fields to learn about tropical crops before enjoying a Swahili lunch of pilau, fish, aubergines, and fresh fruit juice. Afterward, we’ll canoe through mangroves for 30 minutes, followed by a short ox-cart ride in the countryside. The tour ends with a return to your hotel, about 8 hours after departure.

About Zanzibar City
Zanzibar City is the main town of Zanzibar island, and its old Stone Town of carved doors and narrow lanes carries Swahili, Arab and Indian history.
Stone Town is the old heart of Zanzibar City, a maze of narrow lanes, coral-stone houses and carved wooden doors, shaped by centuries of Arab, Indian, Persian and European traders. The House of Wonders, the Old Fort and the Sultan's Palace face the seafront, and Forodhani Gardens fills with food stalls at dusk. The Anglican cathedral stands on the site of a former slave market, with a sobering memorial nearby.
