Zanzibar Educational Trip – A week full of learning and exploration for 5e SIB
From June 10th to 14th, 2025, our 5e SIB students had the incredible opportunity to travel to Zanzibar for an unforgettable educational journey, blending history, culture, environmental awareness, and real-world experiences.
- Day 1: Students began with a historical tour of Stone Town, discovering key landmarks such as the former slave market, the House of Wonders, and Zanzibar Fort : diving deep into the history of the East African coast.
- Day 2: A day of engagement and discovery, with a visit to a women’s empowerment NGO, a traditional dhow boatyard, and a delicious seafood lunch by the beach.
- Day 3: In Paje, students learned about the seaweed farming industry and its current challenges, visited a local soap-making workshop, and observed the stunning biodiversity including red colobus monkeys and mangrove ecosystems.
- Day 4: The final day included a dhow trip to Prison Island and its giant tortoise sanctuary, a Swahili lunch, a tour of a spice farm, and a bit of shopping to wrap up the trip with souvenirs and smiles.
This trip was a perfect example of how learning extends beyond the classroom, helping our students grow as curious, engaged global citizens.
