Excursion

Z.I.T went on a fascinating excursion last week. We visited Zanzibar Stone Town (Darajani market) and Spice tour at Kizimbani (Badru Spice Farm) The aim of this excursion was to give the students an insight into their heritage and the cultural diversity of various communities living in different parts of Zanzibar.

This visit will certainly help the students as they prepare for Exam (Beginner Level). 

Culture is not only learning about the historical evidence of a civilization in museums, it is also learned by studying socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and the environment we live in.

The students visited Spice farm where they learned the history of Zanzibar Spice and experience the cultivation and preservation of spices such as ginger, clove, lemongrass, nutmeg, cinnamon, turmeric, vanilla, coconuts, papaya, chili, black pepper, jackfruit, cardamom, cassava and oranges.

They asked a lot of questions about the Market and Spice and were also given explanations on how the Market was built and why it was called “Darajani Market”

In Spice Farm some students were able to smelled and test some of spices and fruits.

Finally, there was some activities such as poems, drama and Debate. 

Everyone was very impressed by this tour which was guided by on of Z.I.T’s English Teacher (Madam Khadija)

Let’s pray for their Exam.
