The Eco-Tour, led by Dr Billy Hau from the School of Biological Sciences, aimed to spread the important message of nature conversation. Fifteen students from the Faculty took up the role as Eco-leaders and were paired up with HKU alumni and HKU Foundation members, who supported the students’ participation on this meaningful learning journey.

Not only did the participants have an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the Great Migration in Kenya and other breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, they also saw more than 330 species of birds, 60 species of mammals and 15 species of reptiles and amphibians.

All are welcome to come and appreciate the beauty of nature and biodiversity of Kenya. You may also visit the Eco-Tour website for the full collection of the gorgeous photos.
