Nella's Tin Trunk Podcast

By: Nella Nencini-Hutchings
  • Summary

  • Riding horses across the landscape of Kenya in 2004 led me from an academic life in Italy, making my own olive oil and teaching Italian literature, to living on the edge of Kenya's Great Rift Valley, running my boutique safari business and flying myself around in an old Cessna 185. This podcast explores the multi-faceted life here in Africa. We will sift through the greatness of safaris, conservation efforts, community projects across the continent and meet an inspiring variety of people who are committed and passionate about what they do. Welcome to the adventure!

  • Nella on Mountain Gorillas - Everything You Need To Know
    Sep 15 2024

    In this episode, I talk about the endangered Mountain Gorillas and take you on a virtual trek. I have done this 8 times now, in Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It's often called an experience of a lifetime - and it truly is. If you have done it, you will have a lovely walk down memory lane. And if you haven't, you will want to! Enjoy!

  • Nella with Lorna Buchanan-Jardine on Her Experiences as a Safari Camp Manager
    Aug 22 2024

    I am back chatting with my good friend, Lorna Buchanan-Jardine, and as with our previous conversation, we cover lots of topics. This one delves into Lorna's experience as a safari camp manager. We talk about the kinds of cultural exchanges that occur between guests and the locals here and how this is often one of the highlights of a safari. You must hear her story of a New York City family describing their life to a Maasai woman. We also talk about different notions of wealth; how to photograph respectfully; the ways to give that last... Whether you have been to Africa, are coming soon or have it on your dream list, this is an insider's look you will enjoy. Happy Listening.

  • Nella on The Great Migration!
    Jul 31 2024

    In this episode I talk about one of Nature’s unmatched wildlife events: The Great Migration. Millions of wildebbeest, with zebra and gazelle, move around the Serengeti and Maasai Mara ecosystems following the rains for the freshest grass. This is the second largest mammal migration on our planet. (The first is bats.) The zebras and wildebeest cross the rivers, full of crocodiles, and these “crossings” are as dramatic as it gets. It also gets awfully dramatic on the river banks as many, frankly way too many, tourist vehicles gather to watch. In this episode I tell you all about the migration, the pros and cons of visiting during this time of year and the important ways we can all ensure it remains one of the most outstanding wildlife experiences of our lives. Happy Listening.
