Tilt Down from Bougainvillea Pillars to Three Guests on... — Clip Details

Topics & Keywords

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: Covers requests for circa 1979 safari tourism or East African holiday imagery, giving documentaries a real lodge garden with period visitors.
Period detail: Flared jeans, a patterned short-sleeved shirt and the warm Super 8 colour may point to the late 1970s, consistent with the VW bay-window camper seen in the same section.
Home-movie behavior: Shot from a balcony by a fellow traveller, the companions on the lawn look up at the filmmaker in an unstaged holiday moment.
What appears in frame: Red bougainvillea climbs whitewashed stone pillars in front of a dark shingled roof, with wicker chairs on a shaded veranda, a lawn crossed by stone paths, big agaves and three visitors standing together.
Film character: Handheld Super 8 with warm saturated reds and greens, visible grain, soft edges from the projected transfer and strong midday contrast.
Edit role: Works as a location-setting tilt or a cutaway to visitors between wildlife scenes in a safari sequence.
Historical context: It shows the landscaped comfort of a Kenyan in-park lodge, a type of accommodation that began in the early 1960s, as visitors experienced it on a late-1970s trip.
Research note: This is amateur film, so check copyright in the footage separately from likeness rights for the three adults, whose faces can be seen at small scale, and from any property interest in the privately operated lodge buildings.
Research search match: Super 8 safari lodge garden, 1970s tourists in Kenya, vintage East Africa holiday home movie, lodge guests on lawn
Archive pairing path: Pair with this reel's tourist on a lodge balcony, tourists by the lodge pool, the lodge entrance and the park gate sign, then other Tsavo West wildlife clips such as elephants at the waterhole, then other 1970s safari holiday footage.
