reception

Simon Rayß found in the Süddeutsche Zeitung that the “round dance made up of modern foreign musicians” was definitely a charming idea. However, the film's humor is rather old-fashioned and therefore recycled, "as if it had been borrowed from 20-year-old sex clothes." The cast was impressive. Really funny moments are only granted to them in the credits, when the most beautiful failed scenes are shown. Suddenly the film had a charm that had previously been sorely missed.

Heidi Reutter said in the Heilbronn voice, on the other hand, that director Rudi Gaul observed the strange behavior of sexually mature city dwellers in the online age in a very entertaining way. Ultimately, this film is about the longing to be someone you are not. At the same time, the focus is on the desire to be loved for who you are. In this respect, Safari is less of a humorous, light summer film for the Tinder generation than more of a social study that stimulates thought.

Sidney Schering called the film a "quick Romcom emergency fix for in between" on Oddsmeter.de and judged that the film was too poor in new ideas and too rich in idle time to pass as a dream date. However, there are enough smirkers not to see it as a complete mistake.
