Mpala Mentorship Days
“I learned that the hippo’s poop is very nutritious to other animals that live in the water. I also discovered that between the fenced and unfenced areas the fenced one looks greener and has relatively higher vegetation. I really enjoyed the trip and hope that some day I will be back. I really enjoyed scooping mud and examining the insects found in it. I really had fun!”
“My trip was amazing because I came to know more about birds and I feel that I am in a better position to explain to others amazing things about birds. Thank you very much!”
