ZANZIBAR FEELATHOME TOURS & SAFARIS LTD

Welcome Zanzibar with FeelAtHome!!

The spice Islands of Zanzibar (also called Unguja and Pemba) and surrounding islets that together form Zanzibar are certainly one of the most attractive and restful locations in the world.
With its Indian, Arab, Persian and Portuguese influences, Zanzibar is a cocktail of culture, people, tradition and colour. Combine this with its natural beauty, tropical climate and laid back atmosphere, Zanzibar is, in our opinion, one of the best ways to begin or end your Tanzanian safari experience. It is located in the Indian Ocean, about 25 miles from the Tanzanian coast, and 6 south of the equator. The capital of the islands,
located on the island of Unguja, is also known as Zanzibar. It is 60 miles long and 20 miles wide, occupying a total area of approximately 650 square miles. The coastal areas with white beaches, mangroves, lagoons and coral reefs compliment the richly fertile areas inland where the spice farms are situated. Zanzibar (Unguja) is also home to the historic Stone Town - said to be the only functioning ancient town in East Africa. Time spent experiencing the different aspects of Zanzibar is highly recommended.

Step into the world of resplendent colours, wide-open spaces and exotic cultural treasures. FeelAtHome Tours and Safari invites you to a vacation in Zanzibar and Tanzania. Prepare to be enthralled when you see magnificent monuments, heritage temples and the vibrant celebrations of Zanzibar festivals on your FeelAtHome Tours and Safari. Be mesmerized by the sight of the ethereal House of Wonders and Zanzibar People Palace. If you enjoy a FeelAtHome Tour and Safari, your travel to Zanzibar will be full of monuments, history, culture, festivity and colour.

Spice Tour!!

In days past, Zanzibar was known as a spice island, exporting cloves, vanilla, nutmeg and cardamom across the world. The spices were brought over from Asia and South America and flourished in the tropical climes.

Nowadays the plantations are a tribute to the island’s past, swapping spices for tourism, combining both in a spice tour, one of the most popular excursions on the island. Walk through the spice farm with your guide. Touch, smell and taste different spices and tropical fruits.

Try to guess which is which, from the crushed leaves, the fruit, shoots andvines and creepers crawling up the Zanzibar Spice Tour trees. Learn about their properties, their origins and their use as medicines and in food and drink.

A visit to a spice farm village gives you an insight into local life and the opportunity to try some Swahili dishes, taste the fruits in season and try some spiced tea. An optional lunch is available at Hakuna Matata Beach Lodge, a special menu, prepared with the best of the seasonal fruit and spices introduced to you during the tour.
