From Stone town, Our first stop will be at Dr. Livingstone house. Livingston's so-called home is located north of Stonetown. Built in 1860, the house was home to many European missionaries and explorers. Here Livingston stayed before setting off on his last expedition. Later, the building became the property of the Hindu society. In 1947, the government bought out and remodeled the house to set up laboratories for scientific research.
We shall then drive to our next stop at 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 and 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 - are as exotic as their flavours….etc.
