    • Trivia
      The film was actually shot in South Africa, a rarity for a TV film produced for The Hallmark Channel, as the overwhelming majority of them are filmed in North America, and especially Canada, regardless of where the story is set.
    • Goofs
      Kira arrives to the Ukuthula Reserve by a small bush plane and is told that is the only way to get to the reserve. Yet they are able to drive to Johannesburg several times throughout the movie, which has an International Airport.

    good location
    Kira Slater (Lacey Chabert) is busy making websites from a Chicago office. She goes to South Africa to the reading of his beloved uncle's will although she hadn't seen him for a long while. To the shock of everybody, he left his safari reserve to her even though she hadn't been there since childhood. Tom Anderson is the head ranger and Ally Botsman is a ranger. Lwazi is the manager. Kira immediately gets an offer from a cookie cutter resort corporation. Tom is desperate to keep Kira from selling and decides to make her fall in love with him. It doesn't help that she has a boyfriend back in Chicago and she only wants to go home.

    The only cool thing is the location. The scheme is very high school. The romance is nothing special. I love Lacey but the guy is a dud. He's more background actor than leading man. There is no heat and it fails in all the rom-com tropes. I don't understand the advantage of holding back the stepsiblings relationship. This movie is best on safari. I want the animals. I want more animals. I want the actors with the animals although they don't get much interactions. It's great to see the safari although it's not the level of a modern nature film. The romance isn't much. This is location, location, location.
