I'm a big fan of Hallmark movies and Lacey Chabert is one of my favorites, but this film just didn't grab me. The best aspect of Love on Safari is the absolutely gorgeous location and scenery, and I appreciate the underlying messages about conservation, honoring the past, and being a part of something that is bigger than ourselves. The overall story however is mediocre and not terribly compelling. Lacey is worth watching, and the other actors are competent, but the romance between the lead characters lacks chemistry and just isn't convincing. I gave it 7 stars only because of the beautiful location and photography. Worth the time for the stunning scenery, but not much else.

The movie was okay. I loved the animals, the scenery and Africa, very beautiful! The bad thing is that the leads don't have chemistry at all, the male lead was not suited for Lacey, she is amazing as always, so she saved the movie. It's a movie worth watching one time!

I will watch any Hallmark film with Lacey Chabert in it! It is always guaranteed to be a keeper. :) I really enjoyed the scenery which surprisingly (or not, lol) over-shadowed the storyline because it was so beautiful. The animals were so cool to see too! The storyline was cute, as I have said in my other Hallmark reviews, I prefer the storylines where two people meet for the first time versus old flames. This was an adventurous ride. It is best watched with a soft blankie (preferably with an animal print) a roaring fire (or video on your Ipad of said fire), and a lovely cup of iced lemonade! *Get it: heat because of safari but lemonade for cooling off! Enjoy :)

Kira Slater (Lacey Chabert) is busy making websites from a Chicago office. She goes to South Africa to the reading of his beloved uncle's will although she hadn't seen him for a long while. To the shock of everybody, he left his safari reserve to her even though she hadn't been there since childhood. Tom Anderson is the head ranger and Ally Botsman is a ranger. Lwazi is the manager. Kira immediately gets an offer from a cookie cutter resort corporation. Tom is desperate to keep Kira from selling and decides to make her fall in love with him. It doesn't help that she has a boyfriend back in Chicago and she only wants to go home.

The only cool thing is the location. The scheme is very high school. The romance is nothing special. I love Lacey but the guy is a dud. He's more background actor than leading man. There is no heat and it fails in all the rom-com tropes. I don't understand the advantage of holding back the stepsiblings relationship. This movie is best on safari. I want the animals. I want more animals. I want the actors with the animals although they don't get much interactions. It's great to see the safari although it's not the level of a modern nature film. The romance isn't much. This is location, location, location.

The on location filming in Africa is the best part of this movie. Hallmark is transporting people all over nowadays. The story is typical save the place and fall in love thing and give up your old life. Lacey needs to vary her speech patterns a little. Sounds a bit chirpy. Didn't notice a real romance develop probably less than in other Hallmark movies. OK for

Beautiful location, gorgeous shots of animals and vistas, gentle romantic storyline with well casted main characters and the most wonderful singing by Cape Town youth choir as a finale. Would love to have the sountrack.

The story was thin but that's not rare for Hallmark movies. The lead male actor was neither attractive nor a good actor and that was the main problem for me. There was no romantic energy in this film at all and I've seen Chabert strike sparks with a plethora of male leads. That bit of poor casting really cost this film.

The animals, the scenery, and the South African cast were wonderful. In fact.

She said at the beginning of the movie that she visited the reserve when she was five and then again when she was fourteen. Later on in the movie she said she fed the elephant when she was there at 10 years old.

Definitely one of Hallmark's best! I hope they find a way to go back to Africa again someday. And, as always, Lacey is a gem. A keeper!!

6/10 - beautiful shots of Africa and its magnificent wildlife set to a flawed romantic feel-good flick

If this were a travel documentary it would be worthy of all the praise other reviewers have given it. South Africa was wonderful. Casting was great. I was happy to see Britanny Bristow getting bigger parts. She is really good. The only problem is this was NOT a travel movie but was supposed to be a Romance. The romantic leads were well paired, but the love scenes were void of emotion or "fireworks". It had the potential for 10 stars but without the romance it only earned 5.

This Hallmark movie adds the wonder of the African wilderness. A fun film with a backdrop that inspires and amazes; I loved it!

6.9 stars.

Picturesque, full of wonderful wilderness footage and filmed on location...these aspects of "Love on Safari" are worth noting. The plot, characters, and dialogue... not so much. Talk about a most ordinary story and a concoction of the most basic ideas that Hallmark has to offer...

Filming in such a beautiful location with so much potential begs for more excitement, drama and energy. First of all, Chabert, while she is a wonderful Hallmark icon, is not the right choice for the role if Kira. Actually, a better choice would have been Bristow, who is the supporting young blonde, and is literally perfect for the leading role. I bet dollars to donuts she was the first choice, but in 2018 she was not getting lead roles yet. It appears her first leading role was in "Holiday Date" (2019), which was not worse, or better than "Love on Safari". However, she's been female lead in several movies since, and she's great.

Let's look at the male characters. Tom (Cor) does a poor job, and the other male who portrays Kira's boyfriend is simply dreadful. My theory is Hallmark spent too much money on the location and since Chabert probably wanted to do this film, they gave it to her, which meant a bit more money, and they broke the budget. And to think that they miscasted her anyway...Her character is too much of a girly girl, not lithe or athletic, just too clumsy. Chabert cannot do outdoorsy, it's just not in her wheelhouse. Why not choose Reeser, Lenz, or Taylor Cole? Yes, Cole would have been the number one choice for this character, hands down.

There is just about zero chemistry between the actors. The song and dance (literally) of the South African natives was out of sorts and distasteful. If I were to recommend anything it would be the the scenery and atmosphere, but the story is forgettable. I will remember this as that cool safari Hallmark film with a bland plot.

I didn't realize until now the connection Lacey Chaubert and I have - we both have Cajun ancestry. I first saw her in "Party of Five", she was about 12 when it started. She stars in this movie, she was about 35 when it was filmed.

She plays Kira, a website designer living and working in Chicago. He has a relative in S. Africa, she had visited a couple of times as she was growing up but hadn't been there as an adult. Now she gets news he has died, she is in his will, she needs to travel to S. Africa for the reading of the will.

It turns out to be quite a shock, he wanted to keep his wildlife reserve, with elephants, lions, zebras, and other indigenous African animals, in the family so it was willed to Kira. She is a Chicago girl, she knows nothing about reserves and animals and she is certain she will not keep it. So her task is to find a buyer and sell it.

But this being a Hallmark movie, love will play a big role and as the story moves along Kira finds out what her priorities really are. My wife and I enjoyed it at home, streaming on Amazon Prime. Being a Hallmark movie it is clean, pleasant entertainment. Plus the cinematography in S. Africa is splendid!

Such a wonderful story of adventure and love. It's full of beautiful scenery, animals and spontaneity. Of course, two men are jockeying for her love. I won't tell who wins! It was heartwarming watching her emerge from her shell.

Right from the beginning the music was irritating and drowned out the dialogue. Plot lacked depth, predictable,the acting sugary sweet ,overly polite and not real. The scenery was beautiful and the conservation theme meaningful which saved the film.

This movie completely transported me to South Africa along with it. The whole movie was literally my DREAM! Unfortunately, I don't have any relatives in foreign countries that own cool things to bequeath to me (that I know of). My only gripe is that I wish Keira had had her special moment with Kimba. I kept waiting for that to happen because of her childhood memory but it never did.

Movie was typical Hallmark, however, I found the actors had upped their game due to the stunning location. Can't say enough about this being filmed in Africa, keep it up.

This is the lowest rating I've ever given to a Hallmark movie. I would have just shut it off after the first hour except I wanted to see Africa and the animals and the scenery were beautiful and I like Lacey but even she couldn't make this movie work. The story line was very weak and no connection between the two characters. I enjoyed Lacey's clothes and I also would like to go to Africa.

Nice movie to chill out to. Predictable but still worth a watch. Great animal scenes.

I had to turn this movie off after 10 minutes or I was going to lose it. I am so tired of the background music in these movies being so loud, continuous and completely out of place. None of it fits, it all sounds exactly the same and IT. NEVER. STOPS! I am about to call it quits on Hallmark movies.

Sitting through this movie was very difficult as it felt extremely long. I've given ten stars cuz it was a fun game of screaming at the tv with my sister trying to get the male love interest (idk his name) to whip off his shirt mid convo.
