Nairobi Affair (1984 TV Movie)
6/10
A love of Africa and its wildlife
12 October 2020
Nairobi Affair casts Charlton Heston and John Savage as a father and so who are bound by blood and a love of Africa and its wildlife. Otherwise these two are as estranged as you can get and have been since Heston's marriage to Savage's mother broke up,

They've got even more reason to hate each other as they are both courting the same woman Maud Adams.

But when poachers are threatening Africa's wildlife the Kenyan government hires Savage who was a former Green Beret to track them down and bring them in dead or alive. So Savage seeks the help of his father who makes a living as a guide for camera safaris.

A generation ago Nairobi Affair would have gotten big screen release. The film's biggest asset the gorgeous cinematography of the Kenyan countryside should be seen on the big screen.

Watching Nairobi Affair I thought this would have been a great project for William Holden who was known for his love of Africa and its wildlife/ It may have been originally planned with Holden in mind. But he was 3 years gone when Nairobi Affair was shown on television.

Nairobi Affair is a fine film and a primer for conservationists.
