"...Africa is illuminated." - Billboard

A video documentary of Zambia and northern Zimbabwe.

Africa--safari--lions, elephants, hippos--painted faces, drums, singing and dancing--Doctor Livingstone--dugout canoes, swamps, jungle river cruises--this is the stuff of childhood dreams, magazines, books and Hollywood adventure films.

Featuring wildlife, geography, natural history, and travel in Zambia and northern Zimbabwe, this video was designed for students, classrooms, group presentations and travel planning.

A Zambian Safari will show you exotic wildlife, beautiful national parks and the warm smiles of the peoples who live in these southern African nations.

You will participate in photographic wildlife safaris by open vehicle, foot, dugout canoe, boat and plane. You will see and hear Zambian children singing traditional songs. You will see rural villages, and experience traditional music, drumming and dancing by villagers.

Brief visits to Lusaka, Zambia's modern capital, and the twin cities of Livingstone and Victoria Falls (separated by an international bridge across the Zambezi river gorge) show professional cultural dancing, crafts, and a "sundowner" cruise on the Zambezi River.

Wildlife and the safari experience (including a walking safari and safari lodges and camps) were filmed in Zambia's South Luangwa and Kafue National Parks, the swamp lands south of Lake Bangweulu, and in Zimbabwe at Fothergill Island on Lake Kariba.

Your safari adventure continues with views of Victoria Falls' spectacular beauty during the season of its massively high water flow. The falls are more than a mile and a quarter wide and 380 feet high (twice the height of Niagra Falls between Canada and the United States). Mist from Victoria Falls can be seen for miles around; its local name is "Mosi-oa-Tunya" or "the smoke that thunders." A flight above the falls is followed by game viewing in Zimbabwe via foot, Land Rover and speedboat at Fothergill Island on Lake Kariba. The video concludes with views of Zimbabwe's historic Victoria Falls Hotel and singing by rural Zambian school children.

Filmed and edited to impart a sense of "being there," narration is unobtrusive and natural ambient sounds are used instead of background music.

Brief interview sequences are included with Zambia's legendary Norman Carr, as he discusses the origins of Zambia's national park system, wildlife management and the tragic impact of African wildlife poaching. Norman Carr was instrumental in the establishment of Zambia's first national park, founding of the "Save the Rhino Trust," and he pioneered the "walking safari" that has become popular in many African countries. Other interviews include a discussion of elephant tooth development, bread making in the bush by a safari camp cook and fortune telling by a Malawan witch doctor.

This 40 minute program is ideal for group discussion and is available on VHS in NTSC and PAL system formats
for US$20.00 plus shipping.
