DELIVERED TO YOUR ONLINE DOORSTEP

SAVANNA

Tourists go missing in a luxury African game reserve and the race for survival begins. The tourists naïve, the locals superstitious, the animals think they taste quite delicious . . . and the poachers are on their way.

     Another day . . . another illegal border crosser found eaten by predators. If it isn’t a dead tourist, the owner of this luxury game reserve doesn’t care.

'This is Africa...where they
cage the people and let the animals roam free'

     Then it happens: lions attack the tourists. First on a night drive, then at a picnic spot, and then in the safety of the reserve’s luxury camp. Chaos reigns, the workers and tourists depart en-masse. 

A game ranger and lion researcher search frantically for tourists that have disappeared in the reserve - a pregnant woman and a school teacher with three young American kids. Only they never suspect another ranger to be behind the chaos.

     Will the tourists make it out alive? Will the ranger discover the identity of the mastermind behind the animal attacks? First they must cross the dangerous African wilderness to find help. But just as the coast looks clear, poachers arrive to stake their claims.

JURASSIC PARK meets THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS.

'Are you afraid to step out
of your car? You should be!'
