My sentimental favorite has to be
Hatari!. I was 8 years old when the movie came out. My mother took me to see it. Years later, she once told me that I kept talking about the pretty woman in the movie for days after seeing the movie. Apparently, I had a boyhood crush on
Elsa Martinelli.

I'm also partial to a "home movie" by Robert Ruark.

Black rhino, leopard, and a huge 49 inch buffalo are taken as well as other species. This is a chance to see what a safari in British East Africa was like during this era."

"There is a bloody brave little animal in Africa called the honey badger. It may be the meanest animal in the world. It kills for malice and for sport, and it does not go for the jugular - it goes straight for the groin. It has a hell of a lot in common with the modern American woman."
