This movie was filmed in 1951 in technicolour in Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika. The story is of Mervyn Cowie, who struggled to form the first National Park in Kenya. Bob Payton (Anthony Steel) is a game warden in Kenya and is sick of killing the game and wants to form a remote jungle sanctuary. Here there are largest herds of elephants in East Africa and poachers are always a threat.
He resigns from his job and writes a letter to press, that all animals should be killed, causing dismay in the country, leading to the formation of the first National Park. He takes his wife and son to this Park, 1000sq miles of it. The movie shows back ground of Mt Kilimanjaro, however, the first Park was at Nairobi.
The strength of the movie is the beautiful photography by Geoffrey Unsworth of the wildlife of Kenya in technicolour. Watch for the charging rhinos, elephant, buffalos, baby giraffe and the safari camp life.

This wonderful adventure story of a disillusioned East African white hunter turned game conservationist is as relevant today as it was when it was made in the early 1950s. Although the colonial styles aspects are a little dated, the struggle to establish game parks and reserves and defeat the rapacious poachers was well ahead of its time. This is at once a fine entertainment with a profound message for us all, implicit in the excellent title. It is thoroughly recommended to anyone with an interest in the welfare of all things African.

i was very dissappointed when i put this movie in the dvd player.This royal command feature was shot in africa in colour with great scenery and an excellent cast,although the story itself is uninvolving,and predictable.That would have been okay but the print has not been restored,and is faded and scratchy with a brownish tinge such a waste of money,all that scenery and and a washed out print,so irritating i couldnt finish watching it.

East African Game Reserve
A pleasant post WWII film of a family resettling in East Africa to establish a game reserve in difficult economic times.
