Safari Tracks

For the most part, this show is very interesting and informative for kids. The unfortunate part of the show is that the host tries to be funny at times but his advice could be fatal. Some of the advice he gives is just extremely wrong. Example: 'If you're ever alone and lost in the jungle, millipedes taste just like licorice.' Now if your child (or an unknowing adult for that matter) were to hear that and commit it to memory, it could prove lethal if they ever tried to find out. Millipedes are highly poisonous. Yes, later on he mentions that they excrete a poisonous liquid, but should a show that purports to give facts on animals be giving kids advice that could kill them? I don't think so.

Great for children and adults too. The narrative is very good and helpful. The narrator jokes a bit in the oppositional sense but gives the reality afterwards. This is entertaining and not harmful since people if ever on Safari probably would not even see them and are at a safe distance. Children should be taught anyway to be respectful of animals, even domesticated ones. So should we stop giving our children stuffed animals? No. But also give the realistic view. So parents, sit down and watch with your children!
