Page "Safari" Paragraph 23

The safari provided countless hours of cinema entertainment in sound films from Trader Horn ( 1931 ) onwards.

The safari was used in many adventure films such as the Tarzan, Jungle Jim, and Bomba the Jungle Boy film series up to The Naked Prey ( 1966 ) where Cornel Wilde, a white hunter, becomes game himself.

Also, safaris and the safari genre films were parodied in the Bob Hope comedies Road to Zanzibar and Call Me Bwana.

An instant 15-minute helicopter safari was shown in Africa Addio where clients are armed, flown from their hotel and landed in front of an unlucky and baffled elephant.

Out of Africa has Karen Blixen and Denys Finch Hatton travelling, with Denys refusing to abandon home comforts using fine china and crystal and listening to Mozart recordings over the gramophone while on safari trip.

Tourists must also have appropriate clothing such as hats, long-sleeved shirts and blankets for when the night gets very cold.
