Hunting in East Africa is, in general, in very rich wildlife areas, and this movie shows lots of game footage both of animals shot and many animals that were left alone. The footage of the baiting of crocodiles in a river estuary is quite interesting; it is hard to not be disgusted by what a croc will eat!
Besides the inoccasional awkward use of the English language by the commentator, this is a well-produced movie. The end of the movie is an elephant hunt that leads to a good size tusker after a long stalk.
