Hamza will be sharing stories from his adventures and meeting fans
The children's TV presenter and wildlife cameraman will be joining the zoo's Wild Science Safari on February 21. Hamza will be delivering a talk called 'My life behind the lens', where he will share photographs from his adventures across the world.
There will also be the chance for younger fans to take part in a meet and greet with Hamza after the talk. Running from February 18 to March 3, Chester Zoo's Wild Science Safari invites visitors to explore five locations throughout the zoo and learn about the science-based skills that help conservationists prevent the extinction of vulnerable species around the world.
"Hamza has had an incredible journey as a zoologist and wildlife cameraman, so shining a spotlight on his contribution towards connecting people and wildlife is something not to be missed. Before his rise to stardom as a Strictly Come Dancing winner, he was most well known as Ranger Hamza on CBeebies, and presenting wildlife shows such as Animal Park and Countryfile.
"We hope that his appearance at Chester Zoo will appeal to budding conservationists, eager to learn more about the natural world. Separately, the trail across five 'wonder labs' around the zoo tells the story of how animals like Asian elephants, Javan green magpies, giant anteaters and sun bears have science at the heart of preventing their extinction, right here at the zoo."
Admission to the event is free when purchasing a zoo ticket. More information will be released on Chester Zoo's website over the coming weeks.
