Rob Lowe and Kristin Davis in Holiday in the Wild (2019)
To keep her spirits high when their son leaves for college, Manhattanite Kate Conrad (Kristin Davis) has booked a 'second honeymoon' with her husband. Instead of thanking her, he brings their relationship to a sudden end; jilted Kate proceeds to Africa for a solo safari. During a detour through Zambia, she helps her pilot, Derek Holliston (Rob Lowe), rescue an orphaned baby elephant. They nurse him back to health at a local elephant sanctuary, and Kate extends her stay through Christmas time. With new love on the horizon, will she return home or make her adventure last a lifetime?

    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In real life, Kristin Davis has worked with the orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and has helped to bring attention to conservation issues, such as the illegal ivory trade. She produced the documentary Gardeners of Eden (2014), which also comments on the ivory trade and how it affects the possible extinction of elephants.
    • Goofs
      When Derek and Kate are awakened by Roi the elephant, their vehicle carries a tarpaulin-covered load immediately behind the seats which projects a good foot above the seat backs. As they drive away, the load is now wider and considerably less tall. Finally, in the aerial shot, the tarp is gone and the space is occupied by a spare tire.
