>> thank you very much, brian steallter and david gergen. we'll work on doing our own reporting on this story. the breaking news involving brett kavanaugh. we'll see what happens next. do not miss the final episodes of "parts unknown." it begins right now. good night. welcome, thank you for joining us. anyone who had the privilege of knowing anthony bourdain can remember the moment for them when a story he was telling took them some place. whether it was a corner of the world, a place in the mind or just a way of looking at something, seeing it through his eyes. it did something to you. it made you want to look closer and go there. which is why it's such a privilege for us to present starting right now, the five final episodes that he shot on location as well as two special tribute episodes of "parts unnotice kwp the season spans the globe from texas, spain, indonesia and this episode in east africa.

they visited kenya. it was also the beginning of a friendship. for that reason, the memories are bittersweet for me as well, for all of us cnn. we're also luckily left with these stories. it's a privilege to present them to you. >> anthony: maybe you know him -- i hope you know him -- from such excellent shows as "united shades of america." host, writer, comedian -- w. kamau bell. i bumped into him in the cnn scene room recently fondling his emmy, and i asked him, "kamau, if you could go anywhere on earth for like a mash-up episode of my show and yours, where would that be?"

he said kenya. so, here we are, "united shades unknown" or "parts united." scratch that. that doesn't sound good. "america's shadiest parts." no, that doesn't work either.

>> anthony: first time on this continent? >> kamau: yes. >> anthony: i'm going to be teasing you relentlessly about this by the way. >> kamau: that's fine, please, please. yes. as a african-american, there's a lot of talk about going back to this thing the "motherland." >> anthony: and look, a seriously radicalizing experience for african-american comics who come here before. life changing, so we shall see. >> kamau: i mean, even walking through the streets, i have this feeling of like, when i moved from chicago to oakland -- you know you hear about oakland as

being this black city. and you get there and it's like, you know, there's black people here, but it's not like -- this is what i imagined oakland was going to be like. like, this feels like this is black, you know. ♪ >> anthony: nairobi means "cool water" in maasai. it's the capitol of kenya with 6.5 million people living in the metro area. it grew up around a british railroad depot during the colonial era, halfway between other british interests in uganda and the coastal port of mombasa. ♪ i will admit to a weird, frankly unlovely sense of "been here, done that." it's not a good look for me, i know. but there's a mischievous curiosity tucked away in some poisonous part of my brain that's dying to see how kamau handles the heat, the spice, the crowds, the overwhelming rush of a whole new world, because that's what it is, first time. this ain't berkeley. [ horns honking ] >> anthony: i'm already happy. >> kamau: i'm pretty happy because i've seen this scene so

many times on your show. i finally get to be in this scene. this is going to be good. >> anthony: i mean, you have a kenyan name. >> kamau: yes. my parents met in east palo alto, california. you know, this is like the late '60s, starting to be the early '70s, so post the civil rights movement, at that point where black people are trying to really, like, want a connection to the motherland. and in east palo alto there was this push towards naming it nairobi -- nairobi, california. back then, there was people who were like, "we need to be associated with an example of african culture that is winning." and at that point, kenya was being looked at as winning because they had just kick out the brits. and there's all this sort of like, you know, "we need to start a whole new culture, a new government." so they start a community college that's in people's houses and in basements and storefronts. and i was the first baby born to

one of the heads of the council, apparently. and apparently there was like a whole ceremony. it lasted eight days, and you >> anthony: tilapia from lake naivasha, fried, then cooked with tomato and spices. served up right on the bone with an ice-cold tusker. >> anthony: and yet, a proud kenyan name, given your background, why so long? what took you so long, man? >> kamau: i was waiting for an invitation. the right invitation. >> anthony: nah, i mean, was there any concern you would be disappointed? >> kamau: i think, as a black american, i'm still wrestling with my african-american identity sometimes. and i'm still wondering am i doing right by this culture and does this culture think i'm doing right by them. and that's why i don't want to walk around like, "i'm home!" i also think that a lot of times black people in america, as an identity, what does it mean to be a black in america? i fought hard to claim this

identity. it's exhausting. you know? am i ready to start with a new one? i don't know yet. >> anthony: well, we'll see in a week when you head back. >> kamau: exactly. >> anthony: [ bleep ] runs deep here. meaning, best scientists can tell, it all started for us in this neighborhood. tribes of hunter-gatherers, the bantu and nilotic peoples, arab and persian traders, the portuguese merchants, the omani all left their mark. but the british empire's hold from 1895 to 1964 is perhaps most deeply felt. the british system of education, governance, justice, along with -- to a certain extent -- it's values, were imposed on a native people and laid for better and worse much of the foundation for modern kenya. it did abolish slavery, for instance. it did build a modern infrastructure. it was also completely and fundamentally exploitative, often violent and, well, racist, favoring white settlers, landowners and foreign entrepreneurs in every possible way. kenya existed to make white people from far away rich.

but in 1963, kenya won its independence and elected its first president, jomo kenyatta, and since that time has fought an uphill battle to shake the last vestiges of colonial rule while hanging on to what worked. things are by most accounts going well. today's kenya is phenomenally beautiful. there is a growing middle class, a highly rated educational system and an enthusiastic and multilingual professional sector. which is to say this is decidedly not a [ bleep ] hole. there are poor people here just like there's poor people anywhere else.

kenya is as distinct and different from other nations in africa as texas is from mars, with its own problems and its own kinds of awesomeness. it's dynamic, it's changing, and it's incredible. kenya, by kenyans, for kenyans. but hurdles exist. bizarre, almost surreal ones in this case. mitumba, for instance. also known as "the clothing of dead white people." >> njeri: 70% of africans are wearing secondhand clothes. if we can just make our own clothes and make them cheap enough, and make the money and keep the money. there's also the issue of dignity. we have underwear coming in, we have -- yeah. >> melissa: there's poor people living in kibera and stuff, they wear secondhand underwear. >> njeri: it's not cool. >> anthony: well, there's a big market for that in japan. >> melissa: oh, but like for

other reasons. >> anthony: njeri gikera is the owner of chili mango, an all-kenyan street wear company. melissa mbugua is a managing director at a creative consulting firm. >> anthony: as i understand it, there used to be 500,000 manufacturing jobs in kenya. textile manufacturing. and there's now 20,000. >> njeri: before the '80s, we had a booming textile industry that could employ 500,000 people. but now in the '80s, when the world bank introduced the free trade, we got all the secondhand clothes coming into the country. before that, they were actually for charity. they were meant for the poor people. >> anthony: here's how it works. your pants or your t-shirt get old or boring. so, being a good-hearted soul,

rather than throw them out, you drop them in a charity box, assuming they'll go to someone who needs them. but no. in fact, that charity sells your pants and your t-shirt along with a whole lot of other clothes in bulk to a secondhand clothing exporter, a middle man, part of a billion-dollar industry. exporters then sell your stuff by the container load to places like kenya. along the way, millions of dollars are creamed off in duties -- 54 million bucks a year in the port of mombasa alone. the old clothes are then unpacked, sorted and sold in markets throughout the country. this low-cost clothing option has absolutely crushed the domestic textile market. >> anthony: now some countries in africa have said, "wait a minute. this is not good for our employment situation. we're not going to let this stuff in anymore."

what happened then? >> njeri: so america came and they told us they would have trade sanctions against us. >> anthony: if you didn't take all this used clothes. >> njeri: exactly. yeah, because of the free trade, yeah, exactly. >> melissa: it's pretty much oppressive. >> kamau: usa! usa! >> anthony: so, you design and manufacture? >> njeri: it's a kenyan street wear brand basically. so we make hoodies. we make t-shirts. yeah. >> kamau: for uh -- for giants? do you make hoodies for giants? >> njeri: yes. everyone. >> kamau: in oakland where i'm from, hoodies are kind of a big deal, so if i was able to go back with a kenyan-made hoodie, i would get a whole nairobi-oakland connection going. >> anthony: as screwed up as the whole situation is, people do love the availability of cheap clothes. and toi market is the place to go for what in nyc would be called vintage. a dense labyrinth of shops, neatly organized by specialty. >> kamau: "honey, i brought all the uggs back from kenya." there's got to be something in your size. >> anthony: the challenge today

is gonna be finding footwear for kamau's decidedly non-kenyan feet. not to mention mine. >> anthony: nah, i need a half size up. >> njeri: oh, nice. >> kamau: there we go. i had to come to the continent to find shoes that fit me. >> njeri: high five! high ten, yeah. >> anthony: these are 30x34s? i'll take these for sure. >> kamau: let's just be clear. some rich, annoying american person who bought these, wore them twice, and then was like, "ew, they're out of season." >> melissa: yeah. >> anthony: that debbie harry shirt is pretty cool. yeah. i will take this, for sure. >> kamau: oh, here we go. >> melissa: oh, nice. >> kamau: now we're talking. black man in america wearing a king kong shirt. >> melissa: that's too much, yeah. >> kamau: i don't know how it goes over here, but in america, that's a great narc shirt. "hey, kids." >> anthony: "anyone want to buy some acid?" >> kamau: this is just weird enough and simple enough. >> anthony: that's pretty cool. >> kamau: i feel like -- where did you get that shirt? i got it in kenya. >> anthony: is there a solution here? a mix? i mean, clearly it's good for some people. i mean, "i don't have a lot of money, and i'd like a pretty fresh looking pair of nikes." this is a good option. >> kamau: i don't think this business is bad inherently. i mean, i feel like these two things feel like they could exist together. the same thing with the states.

there's like, you can buy clothes that are made in the united states, and you can also go to a thrift shop. >> melissa: that's true. >> kamau: because i see those people who are running those stalls who are making a living, and i'm not trying to take their living away, but also, yes, those clothes should be taxed. they should be a little more expensive. >> anthony: is there a realistic hope that the textile industry would come back? >> njeri: there is -- to me there is. now we have more the middle class buying kenyan-made stuff. which is like people now walk -- they want to buy stuff that's ethically -- >> melissa: produced. >> kamau: it's supporting the community. >> njeri: yeah. exactly. you know china and south korea, they didn't leave poverty or stop being poor by importing secondhand clothes. so they did it by building all these factories, being able to export the stuff that they're producing. so it has to happen the same way with us.

>> anthony: everybody needs a superhero. in kibera, nairobi's largest neighborhood, they make their own -- part of a project run by the maasai mbili art collective -- intended to empower kids who don't otherwise have much. >> simon: there's a swahili saying that says [ speaking swahili ] art is a reflection of the community. >> mammito: well, what we did is to make art. we use it as a tool. >> geoff: so many stories have been told about kibera.

>> simon: but they're negative stories. many organizations come here in kibera, they shoot videos and films talking about aids, drugs, you know, negative things about kibera. >> kamau: so you have a lot of documentary crews that come through here and film crews that come through here? >> geoff: they usually come here. >> kamau: so my question, are we [ bleep ]? >> anthony: i was ready for that. >> kamau: we can talk around it. i feel like a white guy right now. you know what i mean? >> anthony: kibera is massive. around 172,000 people live here. a sprawling warren of homes, places of worship, and small businesses competing for an edge. it houses a great part of nairobi's labor force. meaning, no kibera? the city grinds to a halt. >> kamau: and so here, as a person named kamau, i'm not unique. >> all: yeah! >> geoff: it's a common name here. >> kamau: i've waited all my life to be common.

>> mammito: welcome home. i'll go and tell our forefathers you are here. >> kamau: thank you! thank you! >> anthony: mammito eunice is a comedian. simon okuku, a musician, and geoff ochieng -- once voted kenya's funniest person -- are all using art to tell a new story about kibera. >> simon: it started from the challenge that we've been facing in this life. like me, you know, i've been brought up by a single parent. i used to even engage in criminal activities. coming across my fellow friends, who have been passing to such kind of messes, we decided to come up with an organization, known as kibera creative arts. so to try to teach our fellow young people to make them avoid getting in these traps that are set for us. >> anthony: kibera is also ground zero for what's called around here "the white savior complex" -- a focal point for the more than 12,000 mostly well-meaning ex-pat aid workers who live in kenya.

it's a dynamic that can be counter-productive as salaried employment discrepancies can cause a ripple effect of problems for native kenyans. many kenyans are working on a grassroots level to take control of their own future. kibera creative arts being an example. artists and performers from the neighborhood working to support and develop local talent. >> kamau: what is it like to be a comedian in kenya? how does that look? >> geoff: it is so hard to make people laugh in kenya. imagine, these are people that have not paid their rent. these are people who have gone without food for some days. >> kamau: so they come in angry? angry and hungry.

>> performer: you should take me with this camera when i was small. now that i'm big, let me be taken by big things. >> geoff: and that's the reason why when you go on stage and make people laugh, it is a plus. you say, wow, man. >> mammito: i love to make more people happy because there's always ups and downs in life, but we always laugh. >> geoff: you know when people see mammito performing and they see all the people seeing mammito as a star. if mammito is just performing and she's now a star, i don't need to go run somewhere to make me a star. i can use whatever i have because i think even in kibera we have some things that we can show to the world. >> anthony: by regional standards, kenya -- nairobi anyway -- is particularly tolerant. kenya has become a sanctuary of

sorts for a number of diverse ethnic, political and social groups. one such group with a steadily growing nucleus is the lbgt community. not too long ago a nearly unthinkable development. >> anthony: so you shall never know this pain or awkwardness, you know, when i'm doing shows in the states, i often find myself, "so, what's it like being black in america?" now you will share my pain. what's it like being gay in kenya? >> anthony: kawira mwirichia, malcolm muga and awuor onyango are members of "to revolutionary art love", a gay art collective. kevin mwachiro is a writer and journalist. >> kamau: so how free can you be? like, are there places in kenya where you could walk around holding hands with your partner? >> malcolm: you could try.

>> kamau: are there places you can go where it's not an experiment? >> malcolm: no. i think at all points it's an experiment. >> anthony: well, so where's the threat from? where is it most dangerous? >> awuor: i think violence is like from homophobes. all of it is based around, like, desire of the penis. right, so if you see two women kiss, it's hot because you think you can get in there. >> kamau: "oh, they're just one penis short." >> awuor: yeah, you know, "they need me to help them out with the dick." but if you -- >> kawira: there's an abundance. >> awuor: and the violence, like against lesbians, always comes in the part where like men realize, "oh, they're not attracted to me." >> malcolm: i've always had this theory that a lot of the issues and discrimination that we face is based on our attitudes towards women. and so, straight men will then come at a comp gay man, because "you're not a man, you're a woman, and we do not respect women."

and, therefore, why would you want to be like this? >> anthony: much of the news concerning gay rights on this continent continues to be pretty grim. it should be pointed out that being gay is still illegal here. but in february of 2018, the kenyan national gay and lesbian rights commission filed suit to strike down sections of the laws that -- arguing, well, the obvious -- that they violate basic human rights. what happens next? well, a lot of people are holding their breath. >> kevin: and the fact that you were in court. people wearing bracelets with rainbow colors. my gays in court. and i think we queered court that day. >> awuor: we did. >> kevin: we queered court. >> anthony: if the law is overturned, what are the larger implications? >> kevin: if we win this case, i'm happy and scared at the same time. >> anthony: why scared?

>> kevin: backlash, obviously. what happens is there will be people -- people will be attacked. i mean, we're moving to an extreme end of freedom, and there will be hate. i mean, i want it to happen so bad. can we have pride on the streets of nairobi? >> kamau: so when you say pride on the streets do you mean like -- i live in san francisco -- >> malcolm: parades and -- >> kamau: every year there's a gay pride parade. and you're saying if you have that, then there's been a real change. >> kevin: if it happens for us, it will be an inclusion for every other minority in this country. hero: hey...yeah, that's what i was thinking. sofia: she kept going on and on and on. anyway i can't believe what she sai- (gets cut-off) ♪ toy by young fathers ♪

stability. and then, you have to protect yourself. protecting yourself, it means protection from many things -- peer-pressure, all these things that can weigh them down. and then there is a jab, a jab keeps the opponent at bay. and also open for an opening that you can hit at. >> anthony: analo anjere is a rather remarkable man. a former professional fighter who established "box girls" to train specifically female boxers. >> anthony: is there a moment in the fight that you're pretty sure you're going to win? >> sarah: i told them, i already won it in the gym. so i'm just here to confirm. >> kamau: gotta talk trash, gotta talk that ali, yeah. >> anthony: the awesome

sarah ndisi is a professional who trains under him, and also teaches in the program. >> analo: our vision is, create a world where girls can take advantage of every opportunity and create opportunities for other girls. >> anthony: and i very much like the idea of old, small girls, young women, women being able to kick the [ bleep ] out of men if they have to. >> kamau: exactly. >> anthony: what was your journey? how did you -- why did you first start training? did you want to become a professional from the beginning? or did you make that decision after a while? >> sarah: okay, my main reason was to revenge, actually. >> anthony: revenge? >> sarah: yeah, it was all about revenge because one day when i was going for --

>> analo: she didn't tell me that was the -- >> kamau: you would've talked to her first. >> sarah: yeah, i was going for a walk in the morning. and when i was coming back home, a man just slapped me and ran away. that's when i started having the idea if i had the boxing skills, the defense skills i could have at least saw where the punch was coming from, and at least defend myself. >> anthony: sarah fought russian boxer marina popova in 2015, winning the ubo intercontinental lightweight division title, kenya's first international boxing title. she took time off to have children and is now back and training for her return to the ring. >> kamau: did you ever get your revenge? >> sarah: i never got my revenge because i came to realize if you are trained, boxers should have discipline, most of the time.

>> anthony: swahili culture is a deep part of kenya cuisine. born of indian, arabic and persian influences. traders on the indian ocean side of the continent. this meal is a clear example of that mix. mahamri is a bread made with cardamom. mchicha is east african spinach, a staple green across swahili-speaking africa from tanzania to mozambique. beans with onions in coconut milk. chicken biryani with masala, ginger, turmeric, and eggs. >> anthony: fantastic. beautiful. man, honestly, this looks really good. >> kamau: how does it work at your gym? do people pay to train? is there a monthly fee or how do they -- >> analo: i train them for free. >> kamau: really? just because you want to help. >> analo: yeah.

there is nothing to charge because there is nothing they can give, so we give what we have. and because they have the skills, and we are there, what do we do? we just train them. through the training, some get employment, some become professional fighters, they find their ways. >> anthony: whatever bus you're taking, it ain't like this. crosstown traffic just got a little bit wilder and more fun if you're riding the friendly skies of a matatu. matatus are privately owned and operated bus lines, running regular routes. fiercely competitive.

to the point that owners starting making modifications and an ever-changing range of themes, designed to attract the fickle commuter. >> anthony: oh, yeah. all right, let's do it, man. >> anthony: culminating in buses like this -- mad max -- a rolling, post-apocalyptic, seizure-inducing party bus. just the thing you need after a

hard day's work. >> kamau: i'm not trying to dance. it's making me dance. i don't actually want to dance. >> anthony: so what do people want in a mutatu? what do they have to have? >> brian: first of all, you need to have good music. the exterior art has to be popping. >> anthony: wide-screen tvs. >> brian: yeah, tvs, wi-fi, air fresheners. >> anthony: beers, and goat's head soup. a global classic, slow-cooked well, goat's head. my companion, mr. bell, unaccustomed as he is to the ways of africa, is new to this dish. and i don't want to sound all colonel mustard, but i eat this

[ bleep ] for breakfast by now. you know what i mean? >> kamau: i think the words goat head soup, and i think, "oh, it'll be meat from the goat's head in a soup." >> anthony: oh no, it's a goat head, dude. >> kamau: that explains things, as we see. a full-on head of a goat. >> anthony: brian wanyama obhiando is a blogger, photographer and chronicler of the matatu phenomenon. lucia alessandra murotto is a legendary conductor. cathrine kambun is the owner of mad max. >> anthony: honored guest. >> kamau: honored guest. is this eye i'm eating right here? >> anthony: yup. salt. >> anthony: i generously reserve the best and most tender bits for my friend, as one does. i fear, however, that he was less than enthusiastic, initially, anyway. wait till he tries the brain. he's gonna love it. >> kamau: that's my first eye.

>> anthony: yeah? it's all right. >> kamau: i knew i'd end up doing something like that with you. >> anthony: so you own the business? >> cathy: yeah. >> anthony: and how long have you been in the business? >> cathy: like five years. >> anthony: we want to get into the mutatu business. in new york. >> kamau: yes. >> anthony: thinking about some improvements. we need a hot tub. >> kamau: yeah, hot tub. >> anthony: what's your theme? i already picked mine out. >> kamau: see, i'm all about counter-programming, a reese witherspoon mutatu. a tribute to all the movies of reese witherspoon. i'm all about thinking outside the box. >> anthony: i'm thinking wolf blitzer "the situation room." "the situation room" mutatu. this could reinvigorate public transportation as we know it. >> kamau: especially in new york and l.a., people don't like the bus. and what does it mean to be a conductor?

they don't just let anybody be the conductor. >> lucia: in this job you need to have a lot of patience. just somebody who's had a bad day, they just don't want to pay. if you don't have patience you just find yourself on top of the moon. so when you carry people you need to show them that it's full of energy. >> brian: they need to know how to get the people inside the mutatu. >> kamau: so the whistle just gets everybody -- >> lucia: yeah. >> kamau: jumped up and excited. >> anthony: like i said, this is a competitive business. the mutatu can cost up to $60,000 to buy and build out. rides are only 60 cents. so to get the money back, you better get the customers in and out and coming back for 100,000 rides before you break even. >> kamau: so can you tell me, what's it like growing up as an italian-kenyan? i was trying not to say white. in america, white people get upset when you call them white. so i was trying to -- >> lucia: um, the challenges i had was a kid was my hair. everyone wanted to touch my hair. one thing i love about this job is that i meet all types of people.

and i don't look down on them and they don't look down on me. that's the best part of it. >> anthony: just wait until new york city sees kamau and my joint venture -- the wolf blitzer.

>> anthony: a few hours' drive from nairobi, it's another world. the africa of dreams, of films, the natural world. but a world under constant threat. lewa wildlife conservancy seeks to address the problem of keeping all this alive and safe without excluding or

marginalizing the people who've lived here for centuries. that is a delicate balance. man and nature. how to responsibly care for one without negatively impacting the other in a world of ever-decreasing resources. >> karmusha: this is dave, guys. look at this guy here. this is dave the giraffe. he's a residential giraffe. hi, dave. >> anthony: our guide is karmushu kiama. he grew up in a village near here and has a deep knowledge of the wildlife of lewa.

>> anthony: are those termite mounds? >> karmusha: termite mounds, yup. >> kamau: that's filled with termites? >> karmusha: that's filled with termites. >> kamau: that's horrible. >> anthony: a little useless trivia, in a fire fight, you hide behind one of those it will provide useful coverage. >> kamau: this is my first safari, that's a very specific safari with an expert, and with you with useless information, this is a -- i paid extra for this. this is significantly better than the zoo, i guess that goes without saying. >> anthony: yeah. >> kamau: for some reason, i don't know if it's just me, but i had a negative connotation of safaris. >> anthony: they used to shoot animals in safaris. there's our kind of safari and then there's the -- you know, trump jr. safari. >> kamau: yeah, i think i was afraid every time i said the word that people were just like, "what are you doing?" like -- >> anthony: no, this is -- this is a good kind of safari. >> kamau: okay. >> anthony: good for the world. >> kamau: okay, good.

>> karmusha: 100% good for the world. >> kamau: good for the world. i think we need another word or something. are there elephants out here right now? >> karmusha: so we have elephants, yeah. >> anthony: have you ever ridden on top of an elephant? >> kamau: no. >> anthony: i have done that. and you know, once again, a little interesting little factoid. >> kamau: here we go. >> anthony: when you're sitting on top of an elephant, the sensation, the tactile quality is like you're sitting on top of a giant scrotum. >> kamau: wow, you're really selling it. anthony's useless safari facts. >> karmusha: see an elephant? >> anthony: where? >> karmusha: right there. >> kamau: even if you see them in a zoo closer, they're behind bars that it just doesn't feel connected. but i feel like we're right here. >> anthony: yeah, he's actually

going someplace. >> kamau: yeah, he's not just walking in a circle. he's actually got stuff to do. >> anthony: the fact of the matter is, these magnificent animals would most likely be gone without the intervention of man. people pay a lot of money to come see these animals. without that money, the overwhelming likelihood is that they would have been wiped out long ago. going that's a rhino. >> wow! >> the conservancy was set up initially operated by the craig family and the government after

finally acknowledging the rhino was on the verge of extinction asked them to bring the surviving rhinos to restore their numbers. from only 15 animal as few years back, there are over 150 of them today. poaching is of course in ever present danger to both the animals and people who look after them. particularly the rhinoceros, whose horn is believed by wealthy chinese buyers to be a strong medicine with virility enhancing powers. the reality that the substance that makes up a rhino horn is the same as the human fingernail does not deter a market that will pay tens of thousands of dollars for a single horn. with 62,000 acres to cover,

their anti-poaching program is necessarily aggressive, inclusive and cutting edge, relying on local trackers, advanced tracking technologies and perhaps most importantly, good community outreach and intelligence gathering. if the local people are not on your side, you are at a serious disadvantage. >> that's a white rhino. >> it's a white rhino? >> it is a white rhino. it has nothing to do with the coloration. white was an african name, wide, which means wide mouth. it became white. >> you said white rhino, i was like -- >> not white. >> i think his dad might be black.

>> does it look like you wanted it to look? expected it to look? >> no. i guess i don't know -- i mean, i grew up as a kid, my first images of africa were tarzan, so i don't think i knew what kenya, africa was, you know. i think the expanse of it is not something i could be prepared for. it takes over the entire horizon. >> what a -- hole, right? >> what a -- hole! >> i'm aware, too, on this trip, that still that thing about not wanting to feel like i have come home, you know? yet, there is a sense there is this that i have not come from here, nice to have that connection even if the frame

that connection was built through is colonialism. it's the good part of colonialism. it brings people egg together. -- brings people together. >> if you ever run for president, this should be compulsive reviewing. >> at the very least, i do think a lot of perspectives will be open and minds changed. the idea i'm sitting with you here doing this now, knowing where my life and career have come, it's pretty cool. just like every now and again, whose life is this? >> i will tell you, i got 17 years and as soon as the cameras are turned off and the crew will be sitting around, we're having

a cocktail, i cannot believe i let do you this or see this ever, i ever would because 44 years old, duncan frye, i knew, with absolute certainty i would never ever -- >> yeah -- >> ever see rome, much less this. ♪ take us downtown, waze. waze integration- seamlessly connecting the world inside... with the world outside... making life a little... easier. introducing the well-connected lincoln mkc.

looking at some of our cultures, where we come from traditionally we had some sort of consolation culture that's been with us, been with our forefathers, we just lost it somewhere simply and we tried to get it back. >> when you have traditional pastoral communities under intense and immediate pressure, trying to convince them wildlife, which can, in the case of rhino or elephant bring in large amounts of money, it is hard to convince them it is in their interests to let them live, particularly when it's wealthy outsiders doing the asking. >> if you talk about using this ranch as a conservancy, for all

purposes you established a large zoo. so to show kenyans wildlife can have benefit. >> mike watson is the ceo of the conservancy. the head of the trust and the head of education and the head of communication. >> you're responsible for a larger picture. involving a huge challenge meeting the immediate needs of a lot of people but potential conflicts for the traditional way of life. how have you been able to do what you've been able to do? >> i was born and brought up in a very strong poastoral background that we had the perception this is a government thing about grabbing our land. >> it doesn't help the land is

owned by white people, right? somebody else is owning our land? >> initially. and the perception it is driven by the white. not about us, about them. >> gradually we came to realize the approach was a community approach. >> there was one girl who made it to high school and she's speaking english, she's dressing up. there are girls that are like, you know what, i'd like to be her. the more and more they've seen go through high school and graduate slowly by slowly sees it for themselves. it works well. >> are there people that couldn't come in here and see what's going on and further buy in? >> we have a conservation program where school children

can come in free of charge, get to see wildlife. unless you can afford to see national parks or places you wouldn't have the opportunity to interact with wildlife. >> so we're heading towards the lions? is that what we're doing now. you can see at the pit, something sticking there. >> i see. right next to the little tree. >> wow. >> whoa. >> there's a bunch of them. >> if we're lucky, they might come down the hill. >> that's lucky? we define luck in different ways. >> they seem to be having their eyes on something.

just outside the borders of the conservancy is known as the community range. they're working with them to not only embrace conservation but also to maintain their way of life. >> in our traditional way we have our diet, which is meat, blood and milk, at least once in a while they do blood topping. >> to the massei, the cow is a sacred animal, giver of all things. unlike the west, meat is not the primary interest. here, cattle are sustainable, a long term asset for milk, animal, cheese, and on special occasions, blood, straight from the tap. all right. well done.

[speaking non-english]. >> he's saying the meaning of the word is the people who survive by hunting them. hunting wasn't what we

understand of hunting today, it was hunting for survival for food, not for selling, trophies and stuff. >> jonathan is a massei chief, and a massei elder here. >> was this an easy or difficult transition or was it imposed from outside? >> the transition, first is when the sport hunting was happening. we think it was a western idea or eastern or whatever and we were not beneficiaries of it until an idea came and said, we can have conservation for the future to conserve land for future generations. i think they did work to teach a person to fish. they taught us how to fish and

introduce us to conservation and from there we're not being driven by any white person or ngo. nawa is still a great neighbor and we don't need each other. we're not really dependent of each other anymore. we value the game and know where we're heading to. >> just like that, after months of drought throughout kenya, rain. >> i was told since i came from america, i brought the rain. >> well done. >> thank you. >> if there was a massei paper, the headlines would be, rain. ♪
