I am going to pass. Have seen Lacy in so many Christmas movies. I like her but would love to other actresses. It is Lacy overload for me.

I watched and LOVED it!!

IMO, Hallmark movies can be very hit or miss. Some are really good, others are really bad. This one was a hit for me. The scenery was beautiful, but I wish they had shown more of the animals.

After the movie, I watched the half hour special about the upcoming movies. They had a behind the scene look at Love on Safari, and the cast talked a little bit about the movie. I was wondering where the movie was shot and I was surprised to hear that it was shot on location in South Africa.

The storyline was typical Hallmark, but this was must see for me merely because it was shot in Africa.  In fact, I told my mother to watch so she can see why I love it there so much.

My girl cat likes nature programs.  She also thought there wasn’t enough animals for her liking, but was intrigued by the birds chirping during this scene!

The typical Hallmark formula doesn't bother me.  I enjoy so many of their Christmas movies and with all the junk on tv, for me it's nice to be able to just relax and enjoy a pleasant film.  I wasn't able to catch this one last night, but it's going to be on again Thursday night so we'll be able to watch it then.  I'm looking forward to seeing all the wildlife.

I loved this not for the story line but for the scenery & the animals.

I was looking forward to seeing this one just because it was shot on location and I had seen all of Lacy's photos on IG and Twitter.

I watched this one in real time.  I never watch these in real time, I always record them and watch them on Sunday morning/afternoon.

Lacy, Danica and Candace bring in the big ad revenue and ratings, so they are willing to up the production costs for them.

One thing Hallmark likes to do is incorporate social media with the airing of their shows and movies and have the actors tweet along and answer questions.  This one didn't have a big Twitter following.  It works well for When Calls the Heart, Signed Sealed Delivered and Chesapeake Shores and a few of the movie sequels.  

I'm looking forward to the Catherine Bell and Cameron Mathison movie next weekend.

This is my favorite photo she posted.  The ultimate photobomb.

Makes me want to go to Africa. Botswana, located just north of S.Africa, has been on my bucket list since I was a child.

I'm watching it now! Lacey is my favorite.

My son dated a young lady from South Africa for a few years. He went there twice. As locals they had never taken a safari or gone to the ocean,  They were kind enough take him.  They all were so impressed. It's a beatiful country. 

It was really cute when DS took his GF to the zoo in Chicago, she took pictures of the chimpmunks, ducks etc.
