About this footage
Elephants dominate this set. The camera follows them across dry, dusty ground and through woodland: herds with calves, a big tusker scooping at the dirt, a calf walking alone toward a thin stream, three adults standing together under a hard blue sky. In one shot a man in a red sleeveless shirt sits on the bare ground and watches two of them in the distance.
Rhinos come a close second, including a calf nudging its mother in green grass and a lone animal staring straight at the lens. Between them are a zebra grazing in profile, baboons perched on a twisted tree trunk, an eland with spiral horns, kudu, wildebeest, buffalo, a lioness in tall grass, and white birds lifting off a lake. The travelers appear now and then: a couple picnicking beside an off-road wagon with its doors open, a blue tent in a forest clearing, and visitors in sun hats looking over bright textiles at market stalls.
This footage suits films about safari travel, African wildlife or tourism in southern Africa in 1969.
