This is Ellie, and this is a safari
0:04
These are the decent ones. This is amazing. Tell us about this. Right, so this was the best part of the honeymoon
0:09
This is my favourite part. We're in Kenya, in the Masai Mara. That's the camp there
0:14
So it's immersed right in the middle of the... Gosh, that's a giraffe. I know that one
0:18
That's a big giraffe, yeah. And we saw the big five, and it was amazing. And we went to see a Masai Mara tribe
0:23
and this was me with the tribe, and they did a big dance for us, and they were jumping up and down, and it was amazing
0:28
and we took pencils and colouring. Oh, that's my husband there. That's Gerard
0:33
And we took colouring books for the kids and we took crayons and they loved it
0:37
Oh, that was nice. We had the best time. That was nice too. Yeah, and then that's an elephant. Oh, that's me
0:42
Yeah. And the best animal we saw, I don't know if we got a picture of
0:47
is a leopard and we got so close to the leopard. Camouflage is good there
0:52
We were eye to eye. Yeah, it was amazing. Was it a bit scary? It wasn't at all. It's quite open there
0:56
It was very peaceful. You're in a little car. You're in an open van, but they're not threatened by the van or by you at all
1:01
It's very strange. Right. They're very happy to... You're not a threatening person, though, are you, to be fair
1:05
Well, I just sat there and took pictures. I had a great time. But what I didn't realise about safaris, you have to be really patient
1:10
You probably knew this because you've been on safari, haven't you? But you kind of think it's going to be like an Attenborough documentary
1:15
and there's going to be loads of things happening all the time, but actually you have to sit..
1:19
You've got to find them. You got to find them which takes hours and then you have to sit and wait for them to come out What were you chased by You were chased by something weren you A lion Daddy lion I knew it was one of those animals It was a daddy lion You got chased by a lion
1:31
With the most amazing roar. Absolutely frightening. What, were you walking or were you in a..
1:38
No, I was in... Sorry, Ellie. You were in your van, yes. I was in a jeep and we were admiring the lioness
1:45
and her little cubs ahead of us, and I happened to say, I wonder where the daddy is
1:49
Ah, well, you're meant to... There was this huge roar, which was your distance from me to you now
1:56
this huge roar, and it was the daddy lion, and I'd seen his presence. Yeah. And Eamon was so funny, because it took..
2:01
We were on safari for four days, and we didn't see the daddy lion until the last day
2:06
and Eamon was messaging me every day saying, have you seen the daddy lion yet
2:09
You still haven't seen him. Who's the daddy? Who's the daddy? And eventually we did, and they are majestic, the lions
2:14
Very good. Right. I recommend to anybody who likes their animals, go to safari. Alice, she's brought in all these pictures, you know
2:20
and we brought in... We sat here with popcorn ready to watch
2:26
We'll have to have a show. We've all this and watched all of this. But anyway..
2:30
Get those snacks ready. When can we open these then? Well, I've still got to show you..
2:33
What other pictures have I got to show you? If there's demand for it, there's no demand
2:37
People aren't interested. Then I'll just take this away. Then we'll just take them home
2:41
Take it to go. But that was Ellie's honeymoon, which she delayed for seven months or so
2:47
Took some planning. Welcome back. It's good to be back. It's good to be back
