To do with the family. Very pleasant visit. - A family visit. The kids love it. Equipped with small buckets filled with carrots and salad, they can feed the animals on this farm. Well-kept enclosed, play areas and picnic tables. Various animals, hens, llamas, pigs, donkeys, birds... Perhaps a little more information about all the animals would be a plus.

Informative and interactive - great experience! - This was a very informative and interactive tour. Our guide was great and encouraged us to smell, taste, and guess all the different spices and fruits we encountered! Photos were encouraged and some of the staff even wove us some beautiful items from palm leaves. It was interesting to see where so many of the spices we know actually come from. After our tour, we sat down with our guide to a traditional Swahili lunch cooked with fresh spices that we saw on the tour. Everything was incredible! We were also able to purchase perfumes, lotions, soaps, and cooking spices from the stands at the farm.
