Princess Salme Spice Tour Zanzibar is a Tour about Princess Sayyida Salme – daughter of the first Sultan of Zanzibar and a beautiful Arab Zanzibar princess who sent shockwaves through Zanzibar.  Was she a Rebel, outcast or a revolutionist?

Reason being she taught herself to write, conspired in a plot to overthrow her brother, became pregnant and eloped to Germany with a young merchant, Heinrich Ruete and wrote the sensational Memoirs of an Arabian Princess.

0800 Hours: You will be met by your guide at your Stone Town hotel around 09:00 and driven to the Mtoni Palace to start your tour. The tour begins with a sailing cruise on a traditional dhow along Stone Town's famous seafront to the Mtoni Palace ruins. This boat ride is a unique Zanzibar experience.

Mtoni Palace (Beit il Mtoni) is Princess Salme’s birthplace – where she lived as a child, just north of Stone Town.

We visit the ruins (Palace by then) where Salme was  born in 1844. Her bestselling book Memoirs of an Arabian Princess gives a lot of interesting details about Zanzibar's history and her life in the palace.

We take a tour of the ruins with a guide bringing to life both the palace's and Zanzibar's history. Next, a 15 minutes' drive will take you to Salome’s Garden.

This is a stunning Omani mansion which once belonged to Salme's uncle. It is set in an extensive and beautifully kept garden right by the sea.

These days, it is home to the Zanzibar Creative Education Foundation, a small non-profit project that teaches children from different backgrounds following Rudolf Steiner's concept of holistic learning.

You will be treated to a traditional coffee ceremony in the lush, romantic garden, with birdsong and happy kids providing a feel-good ambience. Then, you will visit the Kidichi Persian Baths, built for the second wife of Salme’s father.

You can still walk around the bathhouse, prayer room and relaxation area. Keep an eye out for the decorative peacocks and flowers in the stucco render.

You continue to Mzee Yusuf's spice plantation, which is also connected to the Sultan's family: you can still see the remnants of a small rest house that once belonged to Salme's brother.

A detailed Spice tour will take you around the plantation, and you will learn about (and taste!) the abundance of spices, fruits and herbal remedies grown in Zanzibar.

1200 Hours: After the tour you will be served a delicious local lunch, surrounded by the sights and sounds of Zanzibar’s countryside.  The traditional lunch includes Pilau, fish masala, stewed bananas, kachumbari salad, several vegetarian dishes, an array of fruits, fresh fruit juice and spice tea.

1300 Hours: From here, you’ll  travel to Stone Town, where the princess lived in a relative exile, unmarried and shunned by her family for her role in the intrigue.

The Palace Museum has a room dedicated to Salme’s life and writings. Your guide will take you to her house, where her romance with Heinrich Ruete began across the balconies, resulting  in secret trysts and meetings in the countryside. 

1400 Hours: The  tour ends at the Gallery Bookshop,  where you can buy Salme’s book, Memoirs of an Arabian Princess, available in many languages.

Zanzibar Dolphin Day Tours Kizimkazi Boat Trip is purely a dolphin exploration excursion. The spotting location in Zanzibar is in Kizimkazi village located on the Southern coast of Zanzibar Island where you can see both bottle-nose and humpback dolphins.

Kizimkazi village is located about 50 km's from Stone Town and 20 km's to the east coast of Zanzibar.

0600 Hours: We pick you up from your hotel/ residence and drive you to Kizimkazi Fishing Village. The drive takes about an one hour from to Stone Town to Kizimkazi, located in Zanzibar’s South coast.

Kizimkazi is home to large numbers of bottle-nosed  and  spinner  dolphins, beautiful coral reefs and tropical fish.

0700 Hours: On arrival, we get a short briefing on safety and about the dos and don’ts when interacting with the dolphins. Then, you board a traditional ocean going dhow and set sail on the Indian Ocean in search of dolphins.

Our traditional sailing dhows are between 8 to 10 meters in length and are finished to the very highest standards and have public liability and marine insurance.

The dhows are fitted with outboard engines, marine VHF radios, gas inflatable life jackets, sunshade, boarding ladder, waterproof bags and first aid kit.

The shallow coastal waters around Kizimkazi are a most loved home base for dolphins that come here for the solid food supply, to attendant their calves, socialize and rest.  We are lucky enough to see dolphins on at least 85% of our trips.

Dolphin tours are best done early morning hours. As soon as the sun warms up the water, dolphins dive down to the ocean floor to escape warm water. The best time to see dolphins is between 5am Hours to 7am Hours.

You can get as close as 10 to 20 meters away from the dolphins. In the past, some guests have been lucky enough to swim and snorkel with them. Swimming with dolphins is one of those magical ‘must do’ life experiences, and doing it in the azure seas of Zanzibar’s south coast adds to the allure.

However, the dolphins aren’t tame, and can be shy and elusive. Although visitors see dolphins on the majority of outings, there are no guarantees.

1000 Hours: Whether  you’re  fortunate enough to see dolphins or not, you can enjoy two hours sailing and taking in the sights of the ocean. There’s superb snorkeling in the pristine coral reef  and swimming in the clear, warm water of the Indian Ocean.

1200 Hours: You’ll return to the beach for lunch, where you can swim in the shallower waters. Kizimkazi is also the site of a 12th century mosque, the earliest evidence of Islam in East Africa, and is thus worth a visit for both cultural and historical reasons.

Notes
* Guests should wear their swimming costume
* We provide lunch to guests on full day trips only at the beach restaurant
* Guests should wear waterproof sandals for boarding the dhow, sunscreen, towel, spare T-shirt for snorkeling
