COME as close as you dare to the King of the Jungle without becoming its dinner at Birmingham's IMAX cinema in July.

Be prepared for a walk on the wild side as a herd of rampaging animals leap straight from the plains of Africa onto the big screen on Wild Safari 3D: A South African Adventure.

The film is the ultimate real-life adventure that smashes the boundaries for the giant screen by using state-of-the-art live action 3D cinematography.

From the abundant grasslands of Addo/Shamwari to the savannahs of the Kalahari, Wild Safari 3D takes you on a three thousand mile journey on a quest for the country's most famous wild animals, including the leopard, elephant, rhino and the regal lion.

Wild Life Safari 3D: A South African Adventure, which has a universal certificate, opens on July 1 and runs throughout the summer.
