点评:We started our visit with a very good Swahili lunch. We then toured the farm with our guide Solomon. The tour lasted about 90 minutes and was very good for the most part. Solomon did a good job of showing us various spices, herbs and fruits. He explained how they were used with an emphasis on the medicinal aspects that locals ascribe to different spices/herbs. The actual tour was well done and very informative.
Everything fell apart for me in the last 10 minutes or so. It felt like a bad cruise ship excursion. First, you’re forced to listen to a sales pitch for homemade soaps and perfumes. Then they put a plant-based crown on you. After that you have to watch someone climb a tree while they sing the annoying Swahili songs that they seem to pull out for every tourist gathering. We the. browsed their spice market and discovered that there prices were about double what we had seen in the local markets.
I would have given the place a solid 5 had it not been for the events at the end. They really marred the experience for me.
翻译:我们以一顿非常美味的斯瓦希里午餐开始了这次旅行。然后,我们在导游所罗门的陪同下参观了农场。这次旅行持续了大约 90 分钟,大部分时间都很不错。所罗门很好地向我们展示了各种香料、草药和水果。他解释了它们的用途,并强调了当地人认为不同香料/草药具有的药用价值。这次旅行非常精彩,信息量很大。
对我来说,最后 10 分钟左右一切都崩溃了。感觉就像一次糟糕的游轮旅行。首先,你被迫听自制肥皂和香水的推销。然后他们给你戴上一个植物皇冠。之后,你必须看着有人爬树,同时唱着他们似乎在每次游客聚会时都会唱的烦人的斯瓦希里歌曲。我们浏览了他们的香料市场,发现那里的价格大约是我们在当地市场看到的两倍。
如果不是最后发生的事件,我会给这个地方打 5 分。他们确实破坏了我的体验。
