02:00Nous allons retourner notre safari truck et nous allons à l'épargne de l'épreuve.
02:05Les morceaux et les morceaux sont le meilleur moment à l'étranger,
02:10et c'est quand les animaux sont les plus de plus enveilés, et les plus ennemis de spot.
02:15Le plus grand nous le plus ennemis, le plus des élargir.
02:19C'est tellement à l'étranger, de certains de ses habitants d'Africains.
02:23les animaux de la nature.
02:25En vous drivez-vous à la national park,
02:28vous appréciez la scale de ces animaux
02:32et les animaux de la nature.
02:32Et vous voyez les animaux de la nature
02:34est une chose d'extraordinaire.
02:42Après une tournée à la nature,
02:44nous nous sommes venus à Alolo Lodge,
02:47où je vais le rester durant mon temps en Nairobi.
02:50J'ai rencontré une de l'hôniers pour apprendre plus sur son histoire.
02:55Bienvenue à Ololo, c'est ma famille qui est en train de l'hôni.
02:59Nous sommes sur le bord de l'hôni, donc c'est très unique.
03:03Vous pouvez venir de l'hôni et dans une demi-heure,
03:06vous pouvez être avec les animaux, les giraffes, les lions et les lions.
03:09Donc oui, nous sommes très heureux.
03:11Après rencontrer Jim, je prends un temps à explorer l'hôni.
03:16Surrounded par nature,
03:17c'est un calm et peaceful escape from city life.
03:21Once an old Kenyan home,
03:23the lodge was renovated and extended.
03:26Each room has its own character,
03:29giving it a personal feel.
03:31The lodge also has a working farm
03:33where food is grown and produced for the on-site restaurant.
03:38So here we are on the farm,
03:39surrounded by different animals, your livestock.
03:43Let's start with the chickens.
03:44How many chickens are there?
03:45I've got a few thousand chickens actually.
03:49So both for eggs and for meat.
03:51And then of course you have the dairy cows.
03:54The dairy cows for our milk, our yogurt, our butter.
03:58We have all of the vegetables and fruits, our mushroom house.
04:02So we try and grow as much as we can.
04:04The farm is just a small walk from the lodge
04:07and is full of free-ranging animals.
04:10Now that I've seen where some of the restaurant's ingredients come from,
04:13it's time to taste them.
04:15Here you go.
04:16From our paddock to your plate.
04:17Enjoy.
04:18Thank you.
04:19Thank you.
04:19This looks delicious.
04:20The food here really does taste as good as it looks.
04:24And I'm excited to find out what else Kenya has to offer.
04:30The next morning, I'm heading to Nairobi Animal Orphanage,
04:34a rescue center inside Nairobi National Park.
04:37I'm meeting one of the senior wardens to find out more.
04:41The main aim of starting the orphanage
04:43was to take care of the animals that are sick,
04:46the injured and the orphaned that are found in the wild.
04:49Here we create an avenue for animals to thrive.
04:53It is like a rescue center.
04:55The orphanage is made up of several enclosures,
04:58each housing different species with different needs.
05:02Lions in captivity tend to have a longer lifespan
05:04because, one, they are taken care of, they are fed.
05:08We are able to see when they are sick, so we treat them.
05:11Some animals may eventually be released
05:13or moved to conservation areas,
05:16while others remain
05:17because they cannot safely return to the wild.
05:21We also host primates in the orphanage
05:23because they are also vulnerable.
05:25What are the main distinctive differences
05:27between leopards and cheetahs?
05:29The pattern of the spot is quite different
05:31and then the body size.
05:32The leopards tend to grow bigger than the cheetahs.
05:37For many of the animals here,
05:39the journey to the orphanage began with injury or abandonment.
05:43So you were injured by a lion
05:45where you are in the best place now.
05:47Here we give them a chance to life.
05:49The giraffe was aged around two weeks.
05:54So this one was collected and abandoned.
05:56It was left by the mother.
05:58Giraffes are my favourite animals,
06:00so getting the chance to feed this young calf is a special moment.
06:05She's a hungry one.
06:06You have to be firm.
06:08You have to be firm so that it doesn't drop.
06:11Every animal here has its own story
06:13and I've had an incredible time getting up close to them.
06:18Nearby, the Nairobi Safari Walk offers visitors another way to experience Kenya's natural world.
06:25Here, a raised walkway leads visitors through a large, more natural setting.
06:31So here is a white rhino.
06:33It is a white rhino, not because of the colour,
06:37but the distinctive feature is the shape of the mouth.
06:41The mouth is flat, so they are good for grazing.
06:44Each species is adapted to survive in its own unique way.
06:48My visit here has been a reminder of how precious Kenya's wildlife is.
06:56Kenya is known around the world for its coffee.
07:00At this family-run coffee estate, that tradition has been passed down for generations.
07:07I'm meeting Jeffrey Karithi to learn what goes into the perfect cup.
07:11Welcome to our coffee nursery.
07:14Now, in coffee, if you do not have a place where you can study and watch your seedlings grow,
07:20then don't say you're a coffee farmer, OK?
07:24So this is where everything starts.
07:26The farm grows two varieties of coffee that survive well in Kenya's climate.
07:31And how long do these amazing plants take to become actual coffee trees?
07:37This will now take three months.
07:39The seedlings eventually move to the fields,
07:42where it takes five years for them to produce quality cherries for harvest.
07:47In Kenya, we have two harvest periods.
07:49We have April to June, and then we have October to mid-December.
07:55It takes six months for a cherry to fully develop.
08:00This family farm has close to 150 trees, and each one is monitored to keep it healthy.
08:07So we've walked around the farm a little bit.
08:09And as you've seen, some trees have some ripening cherry happening, OK?
08:13But it's not a lot.
08:15So if you're just picking maybe 10 kilos in a day, we lay it out to dry.
08:20Yeah.
08:21This takes about 28 to 30 days to dry.
08:23And then we'll call it Mbuni, OK?
08:26It's the worst.
08:27It's the real bottom quality.
08:29You can even see some of the cherries are small.
08:30These lower-grade cherries are usually more acidic than those picked during the main harvest.
08:37To understand more about the quality of the beans,
08:40I'm joining the farm's tasting specialist to try some of the coffee myself.
08:45We begin by smelling the freshly ground coffee.
08:49The tip of our tongue is where we taste the sweetness of coffee.
08:53Then the side of our tongue is where we taste the acidity level.
08:58Then the back of our tongue is where you taste the bitterness of your coffee.
09:04Coffee tasting helps the team decide whether the batch is ready for approval.
09:10After the tasting session, I get to experience the beans in a different way.
09:15With coffee-infused dishes at the farm's restaurant.
09:18Coffee really is at the heart of everything here.
09:23Close to the city centre is another place full of creativity.
09:28A workshop where clay is transformed into Maasai-inspired jewellery.
09:33I'm meeting one of the local artisans to find out more.
09:38Juri is the name of the company and it's a Swahili word meaning small and beautiful.
09:45It comes from Mount Kenya.
09:47You don't use machine and all the beads, all the shapes are made by hands.
09:52The workshop provides skilled work for local women, turning each piece into something beautiful and meaningful.
10:00The bead making process starts with the moulding of the beads.
10:04After making the beads, the beads are fired for eight hours.
10:10All the ladies start putting the beautiful patterns, gorgeous colours.
10:15And when they are working on the beads, they are very happy.
10:19As I'm shown around the different stages of production, I see how much effort and attention to detail go into
10:26each piece.
10:27And I even get to try some of the finished designs myself.
10:31Beautiful, see? This is what my outfit was missing all day.
10:36After touring the workshop, it's time to get hands on.
10:39And I start by choosing my beads.
10:43OK, this is where I get creative, right?
10:45Yeah, you need to be creative.
10:47These are so gorgeous.
10:50Yeah.
10:52We arrange the beads into a bracelet design and add the string that holds it all together.
10:58It's a delicate process that needs steady hands and an eye for detail.
11:03I'm very happy with that. It's beautiful how it's worked out. And the beads look amazing.
11:11To end my time here in Kenya, the ladies perform a traditional Kenyan dance.
11:17And I can't help but join in.
11:21Kenya really is a special place, full of colour and creativity.
11:27It's an experience I won't easily forget.
11:34As my adventure draws to a close, I look back on a trip full of special memories.
11:41What an incredible experience here in Nairobi.
11:44From spotting animals in the wild to tasting Kenyan coffee and embracing Maasai culture.
11:51There's still so much to explore, but now time for my next adventure.
11:55To begin with.
11:58The expectant Marcus on the road is now, but it's a stable one, a place to go back in.
