Nope but nice guess :winkgrin:

I wasn't able to be active yesterday but since nobody has made any additional guesses I will give away the first 2 parts of this 3 word nickname:

"Arroz con ____" in Spanish or "Rice with ____" in English.

Nice, I used to live there as well for 5 months. I loved it over there!
Since you answered 2 questions correctly in a row, you'll have to skip question 24.

Question 24: Much further up north in Africa, in the country of Mali specifically, lived a ruler in the 14th century (1300s). It was known as the kingdom of Mali at that time and he was its ruler. This man expanded Mali and settled more mosques and Islamic universities as he was a devout muslim, though they were open to everyone. He is most known however for his pilgrimage of over 2700 miles ( ≈ 4345 kilometers), by which he indirectly managed to destabilize entire countries, including Egypt. What was this man's name and how did he manage to do this?

I have the guys's name on the tip of my tongue, is it not something like Musu Ali? He is sometimes quoted as the richest man on Earth at the time, though it's a title that I don't think makes any sense in a non-globalized world. He held on to huge amounts of gold, which was a lot more rare and precious in other, faraway countries and bringing some of it with him is what destabilized their economy.

Alright that seems enough to warrant a point to me, though that's not his name :) If anyone in the next hour tells me his name I'll give that person a point as well.
If not, we'll move on to the next question!

Question 25: Back in the day of the big game hunters, they coined a term for the most difficult animals to hunt on foot on a safari: "The Big Five". These animals are at least classified as "vulnerable", ranging up to "threatened" and "critically endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Which animals belong to the Big Five?
