Safari Drums is a 1953 American adventure film and starring Johnny Sheffield as Bomba. It was the ninth in the 12-film Bomba, the Jungle Boy series,[1] based on the Bomba series of juvenile adventure books.
A millionaire brings a tiger and film crew to Africa in hopes of staging a battle between the tiger and a lion. Commissioner Barnes learns that one of the crew is a murderer and asks Bomba to find out which one. The Lost Volcano erupts again (this film makes use of previously seen footage) and there is a battle between a lion and a tiger.
The Los Angeles Times called this "one of the most exciting jungle pictures you have ever seen."[2]
