If you like spices and to cook a traditional meal afterwards, that's THE place to go. Bilal is an amazing guide, very passionate about spices, herbs, fruit and cooking. He really takes his time with you and explains everything you want to know. Its amazing what grows here: cardamon, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, vanilla, maniok, mango, papaya, banana- and so on. After the tour I got a fresh coconut and we cooked - traditional Sansibarian pilau (rice with vegetables), a nice salad and a banana dessert with vanilla, coconut milk and cardamom. You can really participate in the cooking process. And for sure yiu can also buy some spices or vanilla essence in Bilals house/office. This was my most memorable experience in Sansibar. Asante sana Bilal and friends! (Bilal can also arrange a driver to take you there and back.)

We did a Spice Tour and Cooking Class with Bilal today and it was amazing. Bilal is a really nice guy and as he grew up in the village he can tell you everything you want to know. The information was really interesting, we cooked really good food and also got fruits and a coconut. Besides this Bilal also helps you with the transport and everything else you want to know about Zanzibar. Perfect day :)

Wir waren bei Bilaly auf der Farm und es war wunderbar. Ein ehrgeiziger, junger Mann der hier versucht sich was aufzubauen, abseits der Touristenschwärme an den Stränden. Er hat uns auf seiner Farm willkommen geheißen und aus bei dem Rundgang sämtliche Gewürze gezeigt, erklärt wie sie angebaut werden und welche medizinische Wirkung sie haben. Wirklich interessant. Wir durften an den Pflanzen alles probieren, an Blättern riechen und dirkekt Dinge nachfragen. Gegen Ende der Tour ist ein junge extra für uns eine Palme hochgeklettert und hat frische Kokosnüsse geerntet. Der Saft durfte direkt probiert werden, das Fruchtfleisch haben wir im Anschluss im Essen verwertet. Er hat uns dann jeweils noch mit aus Bananenstaudenblättern gebastelten Kronen, Halsbändern, Armbändern und Ringen zu den King and Queens der Kokosnüsse gekrönt. Das war ein rießen Spaß! Nach der Führung gab es dann noch einen Kochkurs. Hier haben wir dann das Landesgericht Pilau gekocht wofür wir alle Zutaten aus eigenem Anbau geerntet hatten! Gewürze selbstredend auch ;) Als Nachtisch gabs in Kokosmilch gekochte Bananen. Herrlich! Fazit: Es war ein klasse Tag, sehr lehrreich und die Zeit verging wie im Flug! Wir hoffen wirklich, dass sich Bilaly hier was aufbauen kann und drücken die Daumen! Vielen Dank für diese unvergesslichen Eindrücke :)

Yesterday we visited Bilal at his farm. I found him via Google Maps and was very excited about this tour because of the many pictures and positive reviews. Bilal organised the transfer from the hotel to his place, so everything went very smoothly. The driver was extremely punctual. At the spice farm, Bilal explained us everything about the spices in Zanzibar and we were able to smell and taste the different spices. We were also warmly welcomed by the other villagers, who made us feel very welcome and comfortable away from the mass tourism. This was in no way a sales event, as is often the case on tours. After the spice tour, we had a cookery course with a traditional Pilau dish and a dessert. Here too, Bilal had gone out of his way to show us everything authentically and with great hospitality. The food was delicious! Bilal and his crew gave us an unforgettable experience. Asante Sana!

Wir waren heute bei Bilal zu Besuch und haben eine Tour durch seine Farm bekommen. Wir wurden pünktlich abgeholt und die Tour hat ca 2.5 Stunden gedauert. Er hat jedes Detail genau erklärt und uns alle Früchte probieren lassen. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Danke Bilal!
