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!

  • A Dream Realised in Victoria Falls - Nella with Sara Gardiner
    Jun 20 2026

    If Victoria Falls has crossed your mind. Good. It is one of the more spectacular waterfalls on Earth. At high season one of the largest curtains of water falls over the edge, about over 500 million litres per minute. It's more than that though and this talk with Sara Gardiner explains why. Sara and her family have created a private haven for wildlife at their lodge on the river. It's a favourite of mine for sure and you will hear why! Enjoy our chat!

  • A Day in Nella's Life on Safari in Botswana
    May 30 2026

    In this episode you accompany me virtually as I go through a typical day on safari in Botswana. From getting there, to the sundowners around the fire, to watching cheetah run, the day is full. And the best part - no two days are ever the same! Enjoy!

  • From Kenya to Chanel: Nella with Waridi Wardah-Probst
    May 2 2026

    I met Waridi on a flying safari in Namibia. As we explored the most dramatic parts of Namibia's Skeleton Coast, sat side by side in the Cessna 210, on the roof of the landrover, chatted over sundowners in the red sand and oysters on the deserted beach (except for fur seals), we became friends. Her story of growing up in Kenya, leaving for Abu Dhabi, getting discovered and becoming a successful runway model in London, New York and now Berlin - is exceptional. It's one of courage, determination and - ultimately self-respect. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
