Your most boring neighbour's home video of his travels in Kenya would be an improvement on this. You do not see the country so much as a vacuous presenter who can only exclaim, lamely, "amazing!" or "fantasic", or, upon entering a cave "O! is this a cave?" She dresses up in tribal gear, or rides a camel in the deluded idea that she is more interesting than the country she is filming. She is either so lacking in curiosity or so self-concious in front of the camera, that she can not interview anyone, she just repeats what they said - totally unnecessary as they are usually as eloquent as she is inarticulate . The photographer, meanwhile, thinks the natural scenery is so uninteresting, that it has to be jazzed up with color filters and weird angle shots and strange film speeds. The only stab at erudition are brief voice-overs that sound as if they have been taken out of a guide book for the mentally challenged. Do not be turned off this beautiful country by this insultingly amateurish production.
