Steve Crum
Colorful John Wayne Africa-based yarn w/slapstick, adventure, animals, and great Mancini score.
New York Times

Perhaps the accent on the trapping of free-roaming critters for use in zoos is a mite too heavy, but this aspect of African business rates the attention it receives here.

Overlong [!]
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
Exciting remake of Red Dust with exceptional African photography

Emanuel Levy
Hawks continues to explore his favorite themes--professional conduct and male camaraderie--in this African travelogue abouyt an international team of animals catchers, headed by John Wayne. Though plotless, the film is visually compelling.

Cute elephants.

Too long, but highly entertaining personality film
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
Corny but vastly entertaining with terrific wildlife photography and a great score by Henry Mancini
New Yorker
Richard Brody
Politics take a back seat to sex, served up in a dazzling wealth of innuendo.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
This late masterpiece (1962) by Howard Hawks transcends every literary value in the book to become a brilliantly entertaining and insightful work of pure cinema.

Richly entertaining, with vivid characters.

Christopher Null
A 159-minute romantic comedy, set in Africa and starring John Wayne? Quite an idea they had there...
Apollo Guide
Scott Weinberg
John Wayne stars in an African travelogue.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It sets a pace, keeps it up for the whole time, and gives us a sense of danger and excitement, plus a taste of life that special effects can't give us.
TV Guide
The story is nothing more than a poor excuse for what Hawks really seems to be interested in presenting--big-game chases over the Kenyan veldt. These sequences are so well done that they save this otherwise-tepid film.
Variety
The strapping physique of the film unhappily emphasizes the anemic condition of the story streaming within.
