This is a detailed full day trip designed to extensively explore the remote areas of Zanzibar so that the locals’ day-to-day cultural and economic activities are experienced. Initially it covers Kizimbani village on the central part. Geographically, this is a very fertile area viable for agriculture especially spices farming. Visitors will also see how a person climbs a coconut palm to harvest both the dried and tenderly young ones. For the dwellers of Zanzibar, coconut palms are regarded as blessed trees due to its wide versatility in products and uses. Dry coconuts are husked off and split to obtain the oil-rich inner part domestically used in cooking and frying local dishes as well copra production. Young fruits are widely sold as refreshments nearly everywhere in the Island. The trunk is sawn into planks suitable for all type of woodwork. Palm fronds and thatches are used as roofing material nowadays very fashionable in tourist resorts. They are also common in mat-making as well as local baskets.

The wood workshop here is run by locals who are well skilled in designing variety of patterns many of which bear quranic inscriptions, common phrases or proverbs.
