INTERVIEW
A guest on Culture Médias Monday morning, comedienne and model Estelle Lefébure recounted her experience among the Samburus, in Kenya, for the show "Rendez-vous en terre inconnue" which will be aired Tuesday night on France 2.
"It's not at all Kenya that one can imagine, in the bush, the savannah, where it's very dry, there are many trees there, it's extraordinary!", Explains Estelle Lefébure on Europe 1. The top model with 37 covers of Elle - a record - went to meet the community of Samburus, who lives in the mountains, at 2,500 meters above sea level. A muscular experience since the model and the host of the show Raphael de Casabianca have put "two days" to join the Samburu.
"Women are really at the heart of this village"
Estelle Lefébure was particularly marked by her meeting with three women from the community. "Women are really at the heart of this village," she says. "These three women are three exemplary women, incredibly strong despite all that they have been able to live in their lives that is not always easy."
Before she arrived there, for three months, 15 women built a house for her. The model was so touched that she cried. "You imagine, you are lodged and you are offered a house, and it is they who made it.When we see the means they have, it is insane!" She recalls.

Unaccustomed to seeing strangers, the children of the village were afraid to come to see her because they had never seen white or blonde. She also failed to milk the cow because the cattle were scared. "Impossible, the cow was running away from me," she says, amused. One of the three women "was very afraid she would give me a hoof."
