action
John Baxter works as a tour guide in Africa for Safari Express. On a safari, his pet, the chimpanzee Biba , finds a young woman named Miriam who has lost her memory. John takes her to Father Gasperini's nearby mission station . The next day, the wealthy Dutchman van Daalen offers John and Howard $ 100,000 if they take delivery to Chief Udin . His brother, with whom he is in an argument, is a friend of John's, which is why he refuses. Howard agrees to handle the delivery himself.
Several assassinations are committed on John and Miriam. She finally regains her memory when Udin attacks the mission station and demands the surrender of the woman. Like van Daalen, she was part of an expedition that found uranium . The expedition members fell victim to an attack by Udin's tribe, only Miriam and van Daalen, who had allied themselves with Udin, survived. Van Daalen offered Udin support in the fight against his brother in exchange for the mining rights to the uranium. John prevents both the planned delivery of weapons to Udin and the subsequent attempt by van Daalen to bomb Udin's brother and his tribe from an airplane.
After van Daalen's machinations have been prevented, John and Miriam want to leave to get married. The jealous chimpanzee Biba successfully sabotages these plans.
German dubbed version
Like Africa Express, there is a German dubbed version of the film. The continuity suffers from the fact that Safari Express was synchronized by different speakers than its predecessor. This also applies to Gemma and Maffioli, who embody the same people as in the first part. The Bavarian priest Kaspar from Africa Express becomes the Italian Padre Gasperini in the sequel.
Reviews
The lexicon of international films judges Safari Express to be a "conventional adventure film, loosened up by comedic pauses for breath."
