Documenting a two-year expedition across British East Africa toward Lake Paradise, this silent American documentary follows explorers Martin and Osa Johnson and a safari party of over 100 local guides, porters, and gunbearers capturing footage of lions, elephants, and rhinoceros.
Fun fact: The film climaxes with an elephant charging the camera, stopped within six feet by a shot from Osa Johnson's rifle, a moment contemporary audiences found both thrilling and troubling.
