If you're expecting a tense and thrilling manhunt, you're in for a big let down. The movie is nice (that would be a crime to get a crude obnoxious movie with that kind of location shooting) but lacks a strong vision.
Cornell Wide is obviously not a great producer or director, so you'll have to be content with a simple nice and naive safari. For a manhunt you would expect more suspense, more situations when the Naked Prey is really running for his life, and a couple of times when he is literally out of breath. Actually this only happens once, at the very start of the hunt, and it's not quite suspenseful movie-making at its best.
Basically The Naked Prey is too much of a --Robinson Crusoe runs into a couple of man-eating savages-- storyline. As dated (and short) as it may be The Most Dangerous Game is much more suspenseful. And does remain the template for manhunts.
