On Safari is a British children's game show that aired on ITV from 16 February 1982 to 11 December 1984, and was hosted by Christopher Biggins and co-hosted by Gillian Taylforth.
Each week two teams (three in the first series) consisting of a child and their parent (a celebrity in the third and fourth series) played in a series of games in different jungle settings (i.e. swamps, venus fly traps etc.) and the team with the most points at the end of the show were the winners.[1] The child from the winning team won a major prize, while the losing children went away with consolation prizes.
