Movies and books as travel preparation

[Deleted User]

When we prepare for upcoming trips, partly for "research" and mostly to establish a connection with the area we'll be visiting, we look to movies and novels set in the locale. Sometimes music if it jumps out. So, here are some ideas we have for the Kenya & Tanzania safari (note, not listing documentaries or travel guides since those are another subject, entirely).

Since this forum allows edits to messages apparently forever, I'll keep this up-to-date with suggestions from others

Movies
Out of Africa (1985) - Karen Blixen in Africa with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford
The Lion (1962) - William Holden on a wildlife preserve in Kenya...and we'll be staying at his African retreat, now the Fairmont Mt. Kenya Safari Club
Hatari (1962) - for fun, John Wayne, Elsa Martinelli and Hardy Kruger capturing animals in Africa for zoos...no doubt not PC in current endangered species environment.
Born Free - recommended by Sealord (#3)
