Trip to Arusha National Park – August 28, 2025
On Thursday, August 28th, 2025, IBES Daycare children had the wonderful opportunity to visit Arusha National Park for an exciting and educational trip. We sincerely thank all our teachers for their teamwork and commitment in ensuring that every child was safe and fully engaged throughout the day.
A Day of Joy and Exploration
The children were thrilled to see wildlife up close and enjoy the beauty of nature. Among the animals they spotted were giraffes, monkeys, warthogs and deer, each sparking curiosity and excitement. They also admired the park’s breathtaking landscapes and were fascinated by the Momella River, which quickly became one of the highlights of the trip.
At the entrance, the children were especially drawn to the elephant statue, which captured their attention and gave them a memorable welcome to the park.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
This trip provided a perfect chance for the children to connect classroom knowledge with real-world experiences. They were able to:
- Differentiate between wild animals and domestic animals
- Observe animal behaviors and habitats directly
- Learn about trees and plants, including species that naturally grow on top of other trees and the unique “mouse plant” with its striking green leaves
- Put classroom lessons into practice by seeing in reality what they had previously studied in books
Being face-to-face with animals and plants allowed the children to strengthen their understanding, memory and ability to describe their experiences with confidence.
A Memorable Experience
The Arusha National Park trip was more than just a fun outing, it was an opportunity for growth, learning and building memories that the children will carry with them for a long time. At IBES Daycare, we believe that such practical experiences help shape children into curious, responsible and confident individuals.
