I Dreamed of Africa Page #2

It's the experience of a lifetime for Ema.

He'll find happiness and freedom!

You say freedom to make it sound noble,

but it's just your willfulness.

And you never think things through.

Listen to me, Kuki, because I love you.

Because you're afraid of being Ionely.

And you don't want me to take Ema away.

I am afraid. And who isn't?

- And I don't want you to take...

- Madam.

Not now, Gregorio.

I don't want you to take Ema away.

But just listen to me.

I adore Paolo.

But now you're planning to...

You are planning to go off to Africa

with a man you hardly know.

I love him, Mother.

- I really do.

- Do you?

We're not easy people, you and I.

I haven't gone out of my way

to make it easy.

'Bye. Nonna! I love you!

Come and see us!

Zebras, down there.

Africa!

Look, vultures.

Vultures.

What kind of people do this?

Poachers, for the ivory.

They probably did this

while it was still alive.

Butchers.

They'll destroy everything.

Let's get Ema away from here.

Come into my tent.

Your son seems so happy.

Why the tents?

Everyone lives so far away, when we have

a party they seem to stay for days.

You'll get used to it.

Life has a different rhythm here in Kenya.

Whoa, look at that plane.

I tell them not to do that.

Duncan!

This is a precision instrument.

You might want to try looking

at the Cameron place.

Old Harry's getting tired

of fighting off the poachers.

Come on, Mike, give it a go.

Well, there's another place at Kipini

near Ras en Nogomeni.

- It's...

- On the coast.

I'd rather be above 4,000 feet.

- Ready, Duncan?

- Yeah, let's give it a go.

Damn!

There's another at Laikipla.

- Good cattle country.

- OI Ari Nyiro.

It's owned by a consortium of bankers.

It's in terrible condition.

It's been on the market a month or so.

Ready?

Go.

Good shot.

God, it's good to be back.

OI Ari Nyiro.

Look, Ema. Over there.

Behind those hills.

That's the Great Rift Valley.

- It's almost derelict.

- I'll say.

That's why it's such a good price.

The work it needs!

What a view.

Look! Wildebeest!

Look.

Impalas.

Very good.

- I'm going to explore.

- What a view.

Paolo says there's a waterhole.

Kuki Gallmann.

Emanuele.

Simon.

I am Mrs. Gallmann.

Wanjiku.

Wanjiku.

Second ball, all right? I'll come in.

That must be Declan.

The ranch manager.

- 'Morning.

- 'Morning.

Paolo Gallmann.

- How you doing?

- Fine.

- Are you Declan?

- Yeah. This is Mirimuk.

My wife and son.

- Could you help me with that?

- Sure. Come in.

Can you put the map here?

It's an old map.

The cattle stations aren't marked.

Here and here...

...is even better water.

I think he wants us to come with him.
