This is a program overview and educational itinerary document for the "Unraveling Heritage in Kenya" study abroad program offered by EDU Africa for Malcolm X College, scheduled for February 2027. The program provides an immersive 10-day educational journey introducing participants to Kenya's rich cultural and historical heritage through visits to significant sites including Fort Jesus, Mombasa Old Town, Gede Ruins, Mnarani Ruins, Malindi Museum, and various other cultural and natural landmarks. Participants will engage in guided tours, reflection sessions, and discussions led by historians and community leaders, with accommodations at three properties: Trademark Hotel in Nairobi, Severin Sea Lodge in Mombasa, and Turtle Bay Beach Resort in Watamu. The program includes all meals, ground transportation, activities, domestic flights, and services of an EDU Africa Program Facilitator throughout the duration. Learning outcomes focus on developing cultural understanding, heritage preservation knowledge, intercultural competence, personal self-awareness, and critical thinking skills within a multicultural context.
Program costs are structured on a per-person sharing basis and vary by group size: $3,575 per person for 20 students (with 7 free faculty), $3,460 per person for 24 students (with 8 free faculty), and $3,270 per person for 28 students (with 9 free faculty), with single room supplements ranging from $625 to $625. Costs include virtual pre-departure preparation, all transport and fuel, 24-hour program facilitator services, accommodations, all specified meals, activities, park fees, and a $5 per-person donation to ecosystem conservation efforts, with the return domestic flight cost ($190 per person) covered by the City of Colleges. Excluded costs include international flights, travel and medical insurance (medical insurance is compulsory), Wi-Fi, optional activities, and personal items. Participants must obtain medical insurance covering repatriation and potential COVID-19 expenses, complete pre-departure health disclosures, and acknowledge physical requirements including long-distance walking over rough terrain and exposure to potentially triggering historical sites related to slavery and colonialism.
