Friendly to make good guide and taxi Some animations I normally recommend
Sultan our guide and his assistant were amazing, fun and patient. Learnt a lot about different spices and his story telling was fun and thorough. We had a tastly lunch, delicious druuts and got to put on hand weaved crowns and bracelets. Highly recommend!!
We asked them following tours and all of them were more than great! - Spice Farm + Fruits + Lunch - Early morning snorkeling tour to near Mnemba Island: Swimming with Dolphines - Sunset Dhow Tour
The staff were very friendly and informative! We learned about the array of plants and spices grown on the farm and their beneficial properties. The singing and tree climbing by one of the guides was really cool as well and the food served was great and fresh from the source. Highly recommend this excursion early on as a starter adventure.
My boyfriend and I took the spice tour (at the Jambo spice farm about an hour's drive from Paje). Interesting experience, we appreciated the information and curiosities about spices and various fruits grown in Zanzibar (there are really many!) and even our guide was nice. Before starting the tour we were served lunch with local specialties that we liked a lot and at the end of the tour they opened a fresh coconut and we could taste the typical fruit, good that too. Once the tour is over you also have the opportunity to buy spices, tea and coffee of various kinds, creams, natural soaps and products with local ingredients. The only negative point unfortunately is the price of the activity which seemed a bit expensive overall (starting from Paje we spent $ 125 in two).
We booked our entire trip with ZanziWorld from transportation in Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam, and Mikumi. and honestly, they tailored everything perfectly to our needs. Every driver was on time, every detail was well organized, and communication was always quick and reassuring. But what really impressed us was how they handled an unexpected challenge: we were supposed to fly from Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam, but the plane had a technical issue and couldn’t fly. It could have easily turned into a nightmare, instead, ZanziWorld stepped in immediately and completely turned things around. They booked us business seats on both the train and the ferry, adjusted all our schedules, coordinated with our next driver, and made sure we were comfortable and stress-free despite the chaos. Their responsiveness, kindness, and professionalism stood out throughout the entire trip, and their prices are also very fair compared to other agencies we checked. We felt genuinely cared for every step of the way. If you’re traveling to Tanzania and want a reliable, human-centered team who’ll have your back no matter what happens. ZanziWorld is the one.
Wow—thank you so much for your heartfelt and detailed feedback! 🌟 It truly means the world to us to hear that your entire experience with ZanziWorld, from Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam and Mikumi, was smooth, well-organized, and tailored to your needs. We're especially glad we could support you during the unexpected flight issue. Challenges like that can be stressful, and it’s always our goal to step in quickly, provide solutions, and ensure our guests feel cared for every step of the way. Knowing that we could help turn a potentially difficult situation into a smooth transition is the best reward we could ask for. Your kind words about our team’s responsiveness, professionalism, and fair pricing inspire us to keep doing what we do with even more heart. Thank you again for choosing ZanziWorld – we hope to welcome you back to Tanzania in the future for more unforgettable adventures! 🌍✈️🚘
We did 2 activities during the same tour, prison island & spice farm. Starting pick the pick up being on time, Othman (prison guide) being super clear, the food at the farm. Basically everything was superb. Fathma (farm guide) was very knowledgeable; all the information she shared felt like a luxury to learn about. Strongly recommend this company
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed both the Prison Island and Spice Farm tours. It’s great to know everything—from the on-time pickup, to Othman’s clear guiding, to the delicious food at the farm—met your expectations. We’re especially happy to hear your kind words about Fathma. She’ll be delighted to know her knowledge and passion made such a strong impression. Your recommendation truly means a lot to us. Asante sana for choosing ZanziWorld—we’d love to welcome you again on your next visit! 🌴✨
We went in the afternoon to visit the spice farm. We start by eating a typical dish of rice and vegetables with chicken, very tasty! Then they showed us the trees, their fruits and the spices taking a walk, which was entertaining and interesting, perhaps a little short. At the end you are invited to drink coconut, a man gives you ornaments made with palm leaves and invites you to try fruits.
¡Muchas gracias por tu reseña! 😊 Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaste de la visita a la granja de especias, desde la comida tradicional hasta el recorrido entre árboles y especias. Nos alegra que hayas encontrado la experiencia entretenida e interesante. Tomamos nota de tu comentario sobre la duración del paseo — siempre estamos buscando maneras de mejorar, y tu opinión nos ayuda mucho. Nos encanta que hayas disfrutado también del coco fresco, las frutas y los detalles hechos a mano con hojas de palmera 🌴🍍 ¡Esperamos volver a verte pronto en Zanzíbar!
Superb discovery in this “spice forest” where our guide was very welcoming, interesting, to explain and makes us feel full of plants and trees where the spices come from! A little surprise was waiting for us at the end of the tour, handcrafted by our guide, and a fruit tasting allowed us to taste and discover various fruits. I recommend this activity, which took us 1-2 hours maximum.
Merci beaucoup pour ce joli retour ! Nous sommes ravis que la découverte de la « forêt d’épices » vous ait plu et que notre guide ait su vous accueillir chaleureusement tout en partageant ses connaissances. Quelle belle expérience que de sentir les plantes et arbres aux origines des épices, et quelle délicate surprise finale ! La dégustation de fruits variés est en effet un moment très apprécié. Merci de recommander cette activité, qui est parfaite pour une balade de 1 à 2 heures. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau bientôt !
Excellent tour and experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable, personable, friendly and professional. The best part was that the tour was just with the 4 of us. Very interesting to see spices and fruits growing and learn about the different uses for them. We also enjoyed the delicious lunch and the opportunity to buy the farm’s spices and other products. Well worth the time and money!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed an excellent tour and experience with your knowledgeable, personable, and professional guide. Having a private tour with just your group makes it even more special! It’s great that you found the spice and fruit farm interesting and enjoyed learning about their uses, as well as the delicious lunch and opportunity to purchase fresh spices. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back soon for more amazing adventures in Zanzibar!
