What to expect

  1. Kidichi Persian Baths
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Our first stop is Kidichi persian baths.This site was built on the highest point of Zanzibar Island by Sultan Seyyid Said , it was for his wife who was the grand-daughter of the Shah of Persia, Fatah Ali, it is decorated in ornamental Persian stucco work. The remarkably preserved baths have a series of domed bathhouses with deep stone baths and massive seats.
    This is quite a contrast to the plain baths nearby at Kizimbani, which were built within Said’s clove tree and coconut plantation.

    We shall proceed with our tour with a drive through a profusion of greenery in the countryside seeing, smelling and tasting a variety of spices and mouthwatering tropical seasonal fruits such as jack fruit, pineapple, banana, green coconut juice, dourian, love apple, litche, soursop etc. Spices such as cloves, cardamon, cinnamon, black pepper, turmeric, nutmeg etc
    A full tour involves much more than spices and you will also have a chance to see the iodine plant, heena bush, ylang-ylang and many more
