With the reimagined CGI version of The Lion King scheduled for release today, Acacia Africa claims many travellers, especially families, are going to be tempted by the idea of a safari in the Serengeti.

Arno Delport, Marketing Manager at UK tour operator, Acacia Africa, comments, “When the “Lion King” was first released back in 1994, it brought the Serengeti and Olduvai Gorge to life on the big screen, the global Disney hit inspiring viewers to visit the locations on which the animated movie was based. With Beyonce lending her voice to Nala in the remake, Tanzania can expect much the same, if not a greater stampede of set-jetters. Her cult-like following and involvement in the film will no doubt help to boost interest in safari holidays - the power of the music icon's influence evident in the recent 60-million deal she reportedly agreed with Netflix.”

UK audiences are currently tuning into the BBC’s “Serengeti,” the six-part wildlife drama series scheduled to head to the US and the Discovery Channel in early August. 

The seven-day Timeless Tanzania is part of the operator's Short Safaris & Treks collection, the tour visiting both the Serengeti and the Olduvai Gorge. From £2,115pp (two sharing) and Safari Pass from £500pp including transport, accommodation (two-nights twin-share hotel with en-suite facilities, four-nights twin-share lodge with en-suite facilities) most meals and services of a tour leader/driver. Starts Nairobi - ends Nairobi. From eight years. Daily departures.
