FILM SYNOPSIS:
Africa's most exciting animals, the elephant, the Cape buffalo, the
rhino, the leopard and the lion, known as the "Big Five," have long been
considered the continent's most dangerous animals. From the abundant
grasslands of Addo/Shamwari to the savannahs of the Kalahari, viewers of
Wild Safari 3D make a 3,000-mile journey on a quest for the Big Five.
Smashing the boundaries for the giant screen, nWave Pictures creates a
new cinematic experience for viewers by putting them in the passenger
seat for a South African safari using state-of-the art, live-action 3D
cinematography. Tour guide Liesl Eichenberger, a young South African
zoologist and ranger, conducts the game drive for viewers from an
open-air vehicle and presents essential information about the different
wild animals and their habitats. Wild Safari 3D gives viewers a new
appreciation for the beauty and grace of creatures who have only recently
been brought back from the brink of extinction. The vitality and
importance of the environments and wildlife in South Africa are
dramatically shown in three-dimensions on the giant screen. Cinematic
immersion in the natural habitats of these wild animals demonstrates the
importance of the many conservation efforts being made today. Directed
by Ben Stassen. Produced by nWave Pictures, in partnership with South
African Tourism. Wild Safari 3D represents nWave Pictures' sixth
original 3D film.
