The British East Africa episode delivers a strong message to those who think killing animals and disrupting the balance of Nature won't have consequences. And we see that even people we think of as great (Theodore Roosevelt) did their share in destroying this planet's Ecology.
Indy, his parents and Miss Seymour join Theodore Roosevelt and famed hunter Frederick Selous on a safari in British East Africa (Kenya). Even though they successfully hunted down lions and other exotic animals, they fail to locate a rare species of the oryx. Indiana and one of the local tribe boys, Meto, try to find the animal, but loose track of the time. Indy's father and Roosevelt search for him, while the two boys are collecting clues on how the interrupted balance of nature is responsible for the absence of the oryxes.
The cinematography of this episode is absolutely stunning and there's quite a bit of action for a Corey Carrier episode. We also see Paul "Belloq" Freeman as Frederick Selous (one of the main inspirations for the novel hero Allan Quatermain). Definitely a great episode. (10/10)
