03:06.0
03:10.8
a Tamilian. He's set up a campsite in Kenya here.
03:10.9
03:15.7
Due to covid, the business boom is slow here.

04:24.4
04:29.2
Before I came here, this place was owned my brothers from Sivakasi and Viruthunagar
04:29.3
04:34.1
They were wildlife photographers. They were here for past seven years.
04:34.2
04:39.0
They often come here and they have a big craze on Masai Mara.
04:39.1
04:43.9
Later on they had this idea of setting a camp here
04:44.0
04:48.8
No Tamilians owns a camp here. So they were the first to establish such a thing.
04:48.9
04:53.7
Because they faced a lot of difficulties here. They didn't get Tamilian food.
04:53.8
04:58.6
It was always difficult. So they decided to build a home like place for our people.
04:58.7

05:18.3
05:23.1
The food was the main thing.
