- The gripping film of Father Wynant D. Hubbard's safari shot in Rhodesia and Portuguese East Africa showing wild life, native tribal customs and a fight between a lion and a hyena.
- Wynant D. Hubbard and his family prepare a safari for the long trek into upper Rhodesia. While they are getting provisions together, including plenty of salt for trading, a young baboon makes friends and soon becomes their pet. Sixteen long-horned oxen are hitched to each wagon and the procession lengthens out for the start. The loose soil of the veldt gives beneath the weight of a wagon and one hundred and fifty oxen are required to pull it out. They get pictures of a variety of animal life: a family of five wart hogs, buffalo, vultures. African geese swim in the shallow water where immense water lilies are in bloom. An antelope dashes across a clearing. A hyena finds the carcass of a deer (antelope), but his right to it is disputed by a lioness; the camera records the ensuing struggle.—Handbook of Information on Films Selected and Classified by the Advisory Committee on the use of Motion Pictures in Education (1941)
- Vitaphone brings Africa's strangest mysteries to your screen in an all-talking series of 12 two-reelers produced under the supervision of Wynant D. Hubbard, Fellow of the American Geographical Society, author and noted authority on African wild life. With synchronized witty dialogue by Edward T. Lowe Jr., from copious notes which Mr. Hubbard made on the scene of the shots. Two years to make, and filmed in the unexplored heart of the African jungle, "Adventures in Africa" brings you the greatest thrills that ever came out of jungle wilds: strange tribes, wild animals at death grips, head hunters on the war path - all dangers that the filmmakers faced to get the REAL Africa.
