Everything you do on Zanzibar is, unfortunately, normally preceded with the question ‘is it a tourist trap?’ This place struck us as being about as close to the real people of the Island as you can probably get. A warm welcome was followed by a really interesting and informative walk around the farm. We tasted ginger and turmeric dug up directly in front of us, peppercorns collected from the vine where they grow, cinnamon bark taken straight from the tree and all sorts of other spices. Our guide, Adam was brilliant. He is clearly an expert in his field and was funny as well as interesting to listen to. One of the young guys scooted up the coconut palm like it had a ladder on it and sang all the way down. I don’t want to spoil any surprises, we ate a delicious lunch and were shown the spices for sale before we left - feeling like a King and Queen. One criticism is that the spices offered for sale are far too expensive but having only been charged a very reasonable $10 each for the tour and lunch we still bought a couple. All in all, a fantastic value way to spend a couple of supremely enjoyable and relaxing hours.

Very interesting pleasant couple of hrs spent here. You get to taste the spices and fruit off the plants and trees. Great tour guide who genuinely was interested and enjoyed his job. This cost 10 dollars each which is great for Zanzibar as everything is so expensive. I would totally recommend this tour.

Our visit to SISO Spice Farm with Asaa as our guide was fantastic. We easily reached the farm by taking dala dala number 511 from Stone Town ( next to the Peace Memorial Museum), followed by a short 10-minute walk. Asaa's expertise made the tour informative and enjoyable, as we learned about the spices and their cultural significance. The farm's serene atmosphere and hospitality made it a memorable experience. Highly recommended for a cultural exploration in Zanzibar.

What an experience!! We opted for the complete package: cooking classes, guided tour and lunch on site. The locals were kind from start to finish. The visit with our Guide was a pure pleasure between discovery and laughter! We greatly enjoyed this activity, which we recommend 100%!! Asante Sana!!

Great Spicefarm, 30 minutes drive from Stonetown. Our Guide Adam was incredible with a lot of knowledge an a great humor. It was really fun to listen and we learned so much about different spices which was an amazing experience. One from the team claimed to a coconut tree and we enjoyed the delicious milk, and also some ginger and lemongrass tea. As a present we got some nice crown and ‚jewelry‘ ‚made out of coconut leaves. I can highly recommend Siso Spicefarm.

Well. What can we say about this place. Nothing like what we expected at all! Sadi (we think) was out guide, however we re named him Cheeky Buggar, as that was what he was like. We laughed as we learned all about how spices and fruit grew. Tasted some unusual things and had an all round fabulous time with him and his sidekick. They climbed the coconut tree and we drank the milk fresh a d ate the delicious flesh of the coconut. He mage us ridiculous glasses 🥸 then made us crowns from leaves and hibiscus flower earrings. We bought spices, moisturiser and scent. We were the only ones there so had their full attention. I totally recommend Siso Spice farm. Authentic and mich fun. Thank you boys

I had a wonderful experience when I visited Siso Farm. Everyone was immediately very kind and friendly. I was a bit nervous because I went alone, but I felt safe the entire time. The cooking class was incredibly interesting, and we had a great meal at the end. We laughed a lot, and they gave us a detailed tour of the farm, explaining all the plants, and I even bought some amazing spices! I can only recommend it, everyone was fantastic!
