GRADE 8 EDUCATIONAL TRIP TO THE COAST

Talk about educational trips that leave indelible marks in the minds of learners. The impact of our Grade 8s trip to the Coast is one that is bound to be caged within the confines of the learners’ crania for a lifetime without the possibility of parole.

For starters, it was a road trip and they got the opportunity to soak in the nature and extra ordinary beauty of landscapes and how they diversify as you exit the highlands terrain and usher in the warmer coastal topography. Of course, they made various stops along the way for instance one of the oldest towns in Kenya –  Voi and the obvious Mtito Andei snack stop. The entire Tsavo forest was an open book for them as it ran past them from either side of the road and the demure baboons, zebras and antelopes grazing by the asphalt.

In the coast region they got to visit Malindi. Malindi is said to hold the secret behind a ghost city. One whose inhabitants abandoned over 100 years ago. Josnah grade 8 learners were on a mission to unearth why the citizens of the metropolitan Gedi Ruins woke up one day and left for good. The Vasco Da Gama Pillar! No one leaves Malindi without setting their eyes upon this dazzling landmark of history and epitome of ancient architecture. With those 2 destinations, Malindi was done and dusted.

Since Josnah is raising a generation for the world, they had to visit the Kenyan port to understand global business and how goods are exported and imported. The learners left the Kenya Ports Authority with a feel and know-how on what it takes to trade in the global arena. In Bamburi they got to see how salt is mined in Kenya before going for the Bamburi Nature Trail also called Haller Park. Here they fed giraffes, got to see some of the hugest crocodiles in Africa not to forget that the park is home to the oldest tortoise in Kenya.

Crossing Likoni aboard those ferries is one of the thrilling escapades every tourist to the Coast should never leave without experiencing. Well, our grade 8s did that and more. They crossed over and proceeded to do a drive all the way to Horo Horo – the border between Kenya and Tanzania. Here they got to see and experience a bit of our neighbors’ culture.

For the climax of the visit, our learners visited Bombo Lulu – the famous Mji wa Kaya. On display here was all about the Mijikenda who were the local inhabitants of the Coastal region. The tales of these 9 tribes and their dances was the best way to complete our 7 days educational trip to the Coast!
