Field trip to the Hippo pool
Join Hannah the Hippo on an adventure at Mpala. Hannah sets out to help a friend who is lost and on the way learns about the world around her. She meets lots of different creatures while on a journey at the hippo pools. This story will share a special hippo adventure, as well as lessons on being kind and curious. It also features many of the wonderful birds, insects and other creatures who live in the Ewaso Nyiro river at Mpala.
Kids, and those who are young-at-heart, are also welcome to ask questions about hippos and nature in general during the webinar. Two special guests will join Hannah the Hippo to share answers and guide our journey:
Dr. Dino J. Martins, Executive Director, Mpala Research Centre
Dr. Paula Kahumbu, CEO, WildlifeDirect
