An experience at Ali's Acre
School Trips
Hands-on learning and outdoor discovery for Zanzibar's students.
A classroom in the jungle
Many schools in Zanzibar have come to Ali's Acre for school trips, and it's easy to see why. The acre is a living classroom — students walk through the organic farm, meet the rabbits, learn how composting works, and discover where their food really comes from. It's education through doing, not just watching.
What the day looks like
A typical school trip starts with a guided walk through the garden, identifying plants, herbs and trees. Students help feed the rabbits, feel the soil, and ask as many questions as they like. After that there's time to explore, a shared meal from the garden, and space to run around in a place that feels miles away from the classroom.
Plan a visit
We work with teachers to tailor each visit to the age group and curriculum. Whether it's a morning visit or a full day, we make sure every student leaves with dirt on their hands and something new in their heads.

Meet the Rabbits
Our family of rabbits live in shaded hutches by the garden. Children (and grown-ups) are welcome to say hello.
