About this footage
Most of these 1983 Kenya clips were shot on safari around Kilaguni. Zebra herds graze and walk through dry brush, antelope and gazelles feed from acacia trees, and the camera follows two lionesses walking side by side across the savanna. Elephants gather near a stream, a crocodile lies half-submerged in a river, and a warthog noses along the ground. Birds turn up often: large white birds flying in formation, pelicans standing in tall grass, storks and herons wading in shallow water, and an ostrich foraging with guinea fowl.
Other clips show the people on the trip. A couple walks up to a stone hut with a thatched roof, guests relax in chairs by a pool, and men in red cloth holding spears and shields meet a group of tourists. In Nairobi, the film turns to busy sidewalks with passing cars, a large building with rows of windows, and a view over the city's tall buildings.
The wildlife material fits travel or nature productions set in Kenya in the early 1980s.
