ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION U.S. first lady Melania Trump fed orphaned baby elephants on Friday (October 5) as she arrived in Kenya on the next stage of her trip to Africa.

She was accompanied by Margaret Kenyatta, the wife of Kenya's president, as she visited the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi, which operates an orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation programme.

Trump is on her first major solo international trip as first lady, visiting Ghana, Malawi and Egypt as well as Kenya.

Her husband, President Donald Trump has not visited Africa since taking office in 2017.

In January, U.S. media reported widely that he had described African states as "shithole countries" during a discussion with lawmakers about immigration.

He has denied making the remark.
