Having been on safari in Kenya, I feel like the writers, actors, producers and directors of Endangered Species never set foot in the country. The movie is filled with falsehoods and fabrications and will do damage to the tourism industry, which is struggling due to the pandemic. How unkind of Hollywood to make people fearful of traveling on safari. Let it be known, Kenya guides never go "off road" or they will lose their jobs. My safari guide, Mamai John, of FACTSafari sidled close to sleeping and grazing rhinos who never attacked us, or were even interested in our presence. He never went off road. Lions walked on the same road as my safari vehicle and walked right by the vehicle. The Kenyan tourism industry takes the safety of its guests very seriously and is highly regulated. I am a world traveller and I felt safe and secure every second I was in Kenya. This movie does a disservice to the many Kenyans who rely on tourism for their livelihood. And to release this movie now spreads falsehoods about traveling to Kenya and is completely disrespectful to the people of Kenya. Boycott this movie
