About this listen

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!

  • Tin Trunk's Wonderful 2025 in Review
    Jan 17 2026

    If an African safari is on your radar, your bucket list, your "must return" list, my overstory of our safaris in 2025 may help pull the trigger. No safari is ever the same and even if you come every single year, as some definitely do, you experience different and wonderful places, animals and cultures each time. It's wild here. You can drive the same road in a reserve, conservation area or national park every day and see something different. If you love the wilderness, it's a must. Enjoy this review of Tin Trunk Safari's 2025.

  • See You in Lamu. Nella with Abdulla Juma on the Island's History and Popularity
    Dec 29 2025

    If you are up on trendy spots to go to the beach, you will have heard of Lamu. If you haven’t, and you like trendy spots to go to the beach, you will want to know about Lamu. For better or worse, this tiny island just off the coast of Kenya is on the international radar of eclectic and vibey beach spots. It’s a scene and it captivates. Arty and quiet, party fiend, and all in between fall prety to Lamu's charms. After listening to my chat with Abdulla Juma, you’ll start to understand why. Enjoy!
