Synopsis

WILD SAFARI 3D takes you on a real life safari for a close-up of Africa's wildest animals. The elephant, the Cape buffalo, the rhino, the leopard and the lion, popularly known as the 'Big Five', have long been considered the continent's most dangerous animals. WILD SAFARI 3D creates a new cinematic experience, putting you in the passenger seat for a South African safari using state-of-the art live-action 3D cinematography.

From the abundant grasslands of Addo/Shamwari to the savannahs of the Kalahari, viewers will join Liesl Eichenberger, a young South African zoologist and field guide, in an open-air vehicle for the three thousand mile journey across the continent and presents essential information about the different wild animals and their habitats. Come face-to-face with charging elephants, elusive leopards and hungry lions in this South African adventure on the giant screen.

The Big Five are seen close-up in three dimensions on the game reserves of Addo/Shamwari, Hluhluwe-Umfolozi, Madikwe, Kgalagadi and Kruger National Park. Produced and distributed by nWave Pictures, in partnership with South African Tourism, WILD SAFARI 3D is a landmark conservation film and the first wildlife documentary to be filmed in three dimensions.
