Discover Camp Zanzibar
Step into the shores of Zanzibar, where ocean life, culture, and discovery come together in an experience you’ll never forget.
What is Camp Zanzibar?
Camp Zanzibar is coast, culture, and discovery — combining ocean conservation, community experiences, history, and adventure along the island’s tropical shoreline. Set between turquoise waters and vibrant Swahili towns, each day is filled with hands-on activities that build confidence, curiosity, and global understanding.
About Zanzibar
Zanzibar is a small island off the coast of East Africa, known for its turquoise waters, white beaches and rich cultural history. For centuries it has been a meeting point of African, Arab and Indian influences, which can be seen in its architecture, food and daily life. From the narrow streets of Stone Town to quiet coastal villages, the island offers a unique environment where culture and nature exist side by side.

Take Your Camp Further
Extend your Camp Zanzibar journey by earning the Level 3 Diploma in Global Citizenship Qualification specialising in Marine Conservation. Because your time at camp already contributes 40 hours of practical experience, you only need 40 additional hours of supported independent study. We’ll mentor you through the process so you can transform your experiences — from coral reefs to coastal communities — into a recognised academic achievement. It’s a meaningful way to stand out in applications while proving global awareness, initiative and commitment to sustainability. Meaning you leave with a qualification which is an additional 16 UCAS points.
