You are on a safari through the wilds of the most dangerous jungle earth, with hostile natives, man eating animals, treacherous terrain, and murderous climate, and no cars! (aka, a typical Hollywood adventure film). Who would you want as your safari “Bwana”? And by that we mean the leader and the man with the gun who makes sure you stay safe and alive. Who would it be? (And we mean these guys in their prime.)
