Highlights
- Zanzibar City - Embark on a 3-hour guided exploration of Zanzibar’s aromatic spice farms, where visitors can immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of tropical fruits, spices, herbs, and exotic flora. This journey offers more than just sightseeing; it’s a chance to understand why Zanzibar is renowned as the ‘Spice Island.’ Guests will encounter a variety of spices such as the island’s famous cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, cardamom, curry, pepper, tamarind, ginger, menthol, and a plethora of other spices and herbs, all introduced by the Omani sultans from across the Indian Ocean.\n\nOur knowledgeable guides will provide comprehensive explanations about the uses of these plants, which extend beyond culinary purposes to include medicinal applications. For instance, the leaves of the ‘neem’ tree have been traditionally utilized to alleviate malaria and digestive issues, while the iodine tree exudes a rich red sap that is applied to disinfect and heal wounds.

100% recommend - Two amazing half day trips with Moody Tours! Prison island with Napukenda sandbank and Stone Town with spice farm. A very friendly and great team. And always on time. The food was excellent. We could collect unforgettable memories and shoot a lot of breathtaking photos. 100 percent recommend. Thanks a lot!

Reliable, personal service. Moody goes the extra mile! - Our travel agent in Narobi hired Moody for our Zanzibar visit. Moody seems to have a large operation here but we still felt such personal and warm service. Moody was in touch with us before we got there and made us at the ferry terminal when we arrived. He personally took us to the hotel, found us a nice local, authentic restaurant, and then gave us a walking tour Stonestown. Our schedule was kind of all over the place but he adjusted everything to make it fit. He got us to prisoners island on the last-minute notice so we won’t be so busy the next days. On the final day, he arrange the driver to take us on the space tour, but still drop by right at the farm to check how we were doing and arrange our airport transfer. Moody seem to always be hovering around to make sure things went well, even when we were using his other employees. At a personal level just hanging out with him, He seems kind of weird and aloof but that’s OK because he did everything to make our trip a success!

Amazing Tours - We asked Mody to be our guide for a second time While in Zanzibar. We love our experience snorkeling the Mnemba Atoll so much, we asked him to show us the tortoises on Prison Island as well as a Spice Farm tour. Everything we did with Mody was incredible! He was patient with our kiddos and full of information! We are so glad we decided to do a second tour. Definitely add Prison Island & Spice tour to your itinerary! Mody is an absolutely fantastic guide for everything Zanzibar!!! Thank You so much for making our trip amazing!

The best! - Mody is the best! He really goes out of his way to make everything go as smoothly as possible, and he really does his best to make sure that people on the tour have the best experience possible. He does a lot of other tours as well and can custom fit to your needs and wants, even as a solo traveler!
