Year 7s adventures in Sagana
6th June 2025
On May 24, 2025, Year 7 students departed from Braeburn Arusha for Sagana, Kenya. The bus ride was filled with lively excitement, music, and glimpses of wildlife, including giraffes. On our first day, we experienced rock climbing and ziplining over the river, where we got a view of the rapids downstream. It was incredibly enjoyable. In the afternoon, we went kayaking, and it was amusing to watch our classmates tumble out of their kayaks.
On the second day, we tried SUP and duckies, which was fantastic. We relished swimming in the chilly river and warmed up by leaping into the cold Tana River water multiple times. On the third day, we enjoyed white-water rafting as we navigated through rapids. Our guides—Sylvia, Sammy, Daniel, Brian, Moses, and Sheldon—provided us with challenges, such as standing up in the raft, and we also got the chance to swim in the river. The staff members were incredibly kind.
On the final afternoon, we participated in archery and low ropes. Miss Sylvia set up entertaining challenges for archery, and the low ropes activity was an obstacle course where we had to avoid touching the ground; it was a lot of fun!
One highlight of Sagana was the food, which was absolutely delicious every day!
We appreciated our instructors who accompanied us; they were exceptionally kind and understanding.
A big thank you to the instructors for providing us with a wonderful experience.
We also extend our gratitude to our parents, Miss Ngave, Miss Marcelina, and Mr. Denis, for making this trip possible.
