Join a 3D safari in the IMAX Theatre-At-Bristol
Running from 21 May 2005

From 21 May 2005, get set for the ultimate real-life action trip as Wild Safari 3D: A South African Adventure hits the big screen.

Using state-of-the-art live action 3D cinematography, nWave Pictures new groundbreaking film places viewers in an open-air vehicle traveling through diverse South African game reserves on a quest to see the Big Five. Showcasing the most dangerous and spectacular animals on the continent, audiences will experience incredible face-to-face encounters with charging elephants, hungry lions and cunning leopards.

From the abundant grasslands of Addo and Shamwari to the savannahs of the Kalahari, Wild Safari 3D details the dramatic three thousand mile journey to find the Big Five: the elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and Cape buffalo. Tour guide Liesl Eichenberger, a young South African zoologist and field guide, leads the game drive from an open jeep, taking viewers incredibly close to the wildlife and giving a fascinating insight into the different animals and their habitats.

Whether searching the open grasslands for buffalo or being in the middle of a herd of stampeding elephants, Wild Safari 3D is a truly breathtaking experience. And with 12,000 watts of pure digital surround sound, each lion’s roar will reverberate to your very core!

Simon Jones, At-Bristol’s Head of Marketing and IMAX says, ’Never before has wildlife been seen with such realism on the giant screen – the scope and landscape of Wild Safari 3D is incredible. It really is a truly stunning IMAX film that will have people of all ages captivated.’

Tickets to this real-life adventure can be booked at normal IMAX prices in advance or on the day. Call 0845 345 1235 for advance tickets and for the full programme of screenings click here.
