<br />There's no better way to get to know your holiday destination than by meeting local people. On this cultural tour, you'll travel to a typical village, Muyuni, to learn from the community about Zanzibar's rural traditions before making your way to Paje seaweed centre. Omar, one of our expert local guides, says ‘Community is so important in Zanzibar. You'll understand more about our island once you have explored the village and visited the seaweed centre, which empowers local women and sells great wellness products – use them at home and the scent will remind you of Zanzibar.'
<br /><br />First up, we'll make our way to the village of Muyuni on the south coast of Zanzibar. Here you'll set off on a guided tour while getting to know the locals and watching rural life unfold in the community. Then it's time to make your way to the next stop of the day – Paje seaweed centre, a socially responsible business which allows local women to make a living as seaweed farmers, growing and collecting the crop on the splendid nearby beaches.
<br /><br />Before you tour the facilities, you'll have free time for lunch, then you'll take a look around the factory where the local seaweed farmers will be at work harvesting and processing. A variety of beauty and wellness products are available for purchase, too. Lastly, it's over to the renowned The Rock Restaurant, famous for its location in the middle of the Indian Ocean where you'll see it from the outside and have the chance to take photos.
