Nella's Tin Trunk Podcast

Nella's Tin Trunk Podcast

Nella Nencini-Hutchings

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!

It's always hard to put the feelings of experiencing Africa into words. A lovely client from this past summer has done just that in a beautiful and poetic way. If you just travelled to Africa, you will get it. If Africa remains on your list of places to visit, it will likely jump to the top. Enjoy!

Nella's Tin Trunk Podcast - Nella on Sifting through the Greatness in Egypt
play

01/14/22 • 16 min

Egypt is Tin Trunk's newest destination and I am HOOKED! Each time I go, I love it more. We have wonderful people supporting us on the ground there who live up to Tin Trunk's motto: "the difference is that nothing's the same". Discovering the wonders of Ancient Egypt - as well as having an authentic, stress-free experience in modern Egypt - is a trip every world traveller will love. In this episode, we sift through the greatness of this magical land and in the next one, I interview a fantastic Egyptologist. Enjoy!

Welcome to our new adventure. After helping clients plan safaris since 2004, I was encouraged - and not a little keen - to explore the many layers of living full-time in Africa, on the edge of Kenya's Great Rift Valley. In this first episode, I outline the essence of the podcast - how it will help you sift through the greatness of the world of safaris as well as meet some of the most fascinating people I have the priviledge to know here.

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's Tin Trunk Podcast - Nella on The Great Migration!

Nella on The Great Migration!

Nella's Tin Trunk Podcast

play

07/31/24 • 24 min

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.

As I say in the introduction, there is something about this conversation with Virginia that leaves me feeling raw, open and hopeful. Virginia is as real a deal as they come and hearing her talk about her upbringing in a home full of brothers and how a mixture of courage and hope led her to become one of the few - and elite - female anti-poaching rangers is beyond inspiring. Happy Listening.

Nicole Church travelled with 4 other friends from England to Kenya. 50 years ago and in a Land Rover. They crossed the Sahara. They cooked and navigated and dug themselves out of sand traps. They visited - and felt safe in - countries most would not drive through today and they had more than a few extraordinary encounters with people they met along the way. Grab a map of Africa and enjoy our conversation!

Mike Jackson and his wife Sarah are beloved members of our family. Mike has been travelling in Africa since the 1980s - before, during and after his distinguished career in the British Army as Chief of the General Staff. There is hardly an area he hasn't visited and our conversation here at home in Kenya touches on where he has been, what he loves and why, as well as his thoughts on how Africa has changed over the years. Please enjoy.

Nella's Tin Trunk Podcast - Nella with Jonhson Ratsimanadino on Magical Madagascar
play

05/24/23 • 40 min

Jonhson explained the unique spelling of his name before we began recording - one of those hospital spellings that stuck. That is not the only unique thing about him either. Jonhson is a curious and highly educated man with a mind for science who is busy sharing his knowledge with clients at the wonderful island paradise of Miavana in Madagascar. This talk was born of an evening exploring the Cabinet de Curiosité at the lodge. I felt his enthusiasm and passion coming through as he explained the fascinating objects in the collection. You will feel it too when you listen to this interview. Enjoy!
