It is a very catchy tune, and I couldn't think of the title either until I was listening to a classic Top 20 countdown from August 1962 on the local oldies station. The Billy Vaughn version (which was the biggest hit version here in America) was the # 19 song. I love to go to outdoor municipal band concerts in the summertime. We have 2 such bands in my area, and I would love it if one of them could get a hold of this arrangement and play it in a concert.
Absolutely love this ! Kudos to all these wonderfully talented folk, especially the Fabulous Femke !! That lovely lady plays a mean sax ! THANK You so much for sharing this marvelous video with us !! :-)
Eine sehr gelungene Version eines ohnehin phantastischen Fips Kämpfert Songs. Das Saxophonspiel ist eine schöne Variante zu Ack van Royens Solo. Von Femke Ylstra phantastisch gespielt. Aber auch das Orchester macht einen Top Job!!!
Saludos íberos. Todavía no me lo creo. Hace 45 años ke buscaba está canción. Cuando era muy joven, escuchaba el Hilo Musical, en mi trabajo y cuando está canción sonaba, Todo se detenía. Esas notas Mágikas me subían al Cielo, por dos minutos. Jamás supe su título no su autor. No había ordenadores, ni móbiles. Tan sólo estaba nuestra memoria. Durante estos 45 años, he continuado silbando la y tarareándola. Y, de pronto el día 3 de Febrero de 2.022, sonó en mi Móbil. Marabillosa melodía. Única y Celestial, para mí. Infinitas gracias.

I remember this was the theme song for the Match Game back in the late 69*s early 70*s staring Gene Rayburn good show and panelists funny and clean for the most part; a little risgaie at times!
Very good sax solo on this simple theme. I was long looking for it. Like the versions of manfred moch and especially of ack van rooyen (never understood how he did it). I think, it is more difficult to improvise on simple 2-5-1 chords.
If only we could have heard such entertaining music on BBC Radio when live studio music was the game in town. Alas, it was not to be, just too much tedious, tuneless dross. But no matter; this was all a long time ago.
If people would pour themselves a snifter of brandy;fire up a good cigar;listen to some cool music like SwingingbSafari and chill axed they'd have a lot more fun.
Really it's great to listen young musicians doing this music that made my chilhood pleasant. Really exciting. Regards from Argentina
This song was running through my head a few months ago but neither my wife nor I could remember what it was. Glad I ran across this.

Bert Kaempfert's Swingin' Safari was used as the theme music for the Match Game with Gene Rayburn on NBC from 1962-1967
That’s how I recently rediscovered the song. I saw a couple of the old episodes here on TH-cam, and it was the intro music.
I remember it as the theme tune before the start of the Spedeworth Stockcar racing at Ipswich & Great Yarmouth in the 70’s.
Wonderful! I was a DJ back when Hot Hits had a few instrumentals! Thank you!

What a beautiful sound and performance. BRAVO!!!
Oh yeah, these good old melodies you never get out of your head
Femke. What a great sound on alto sax. Great work
She is a terrific sax payer--a bit of the improvisation of Coltrane with the smooth Paul Desmond tone
Femke's breathing exercises were excellent throughout the song 😀😀😀😀😀.
Love your comment ❤❤❤
First time I heard this version. it's great. I'm used to the Bert Kamphert version
Beautiful woman doing a beautiful performance.
Love it Burt K had the record when I was a kid in the 70s
A superb performance by all players !
Leave it up to the Friesians to spice it up. Touche! Well done.

Very talented musician. She has a style to blow the notes to a good and pleasing sound.

Really fun!!! Thanks!
Te gek Femke! Mooi gespeeld (!). Zo'n waanzinnig concert met orkest.. leuk repertoire.. enthousiast publiek; het is je gegund 😀
Hoi Thijs! Dankjewel en groet!
I love this ❤
A classical vibe crashes into jazz ...... priceless😀
Very good sax solo on this simple theme.
I was long looking for it.
Like the versions of manfred moch and especially of ack van rooyen (never understood how he did it).
I think, it is more difficult to improvise on simple 2-5-1 chords.
Outstanding!
Very good sax player. Notes are very clear as the soloist goes on.
Beautiful
Tatsächlich eine tolle Version!!
Van deze muziek word je gewoon blij. Geweldige improvisatie!!
Femke, I like your fresh, expressive take on this. Beautiful vibrato & diaphragm support. I do miss the piccolos a bit. 😉

Prachtig ! Love it
Dad loved both Bert and Kurt Eigelhagen. Some fine musicians. Think they led the way for James Last.
Kurt Edelhagen. 🤞
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
BAM😂❤❤❤❤❤
top !! 👍👍
Wow good music
Muy lindo el solo de Saxo Alto .
Deseo me envíen las notas de solo en Saxo Swing Safarí , mil gracias .
how nice is it not to be a professional musician and never ever need to make incontinent people happy
Perfect
❤💛💜
Still sound great very big hit in 1962 sounds good cover
Thumbs up.
La la la la lere 🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶
música que vale la pena
What a brilliant version, Such a smooth sax player, Is that Lisa Simpson?
That's Femke Ijlstra, Greg. No cartoon. Read the title, Dude.

@@DrChaad , yes i know it was Femke, I was only joking about Lisa Simpson, sorry
@@gregbutcher_musicplacecheck12show some respect pal.
@@Shaki123 don’t you have a sense of humour?
@@gregbutcher_musicplacecheck12 I do, that's why I don't like your "joke".
It's like you're a 5 year old.

Bert zou hier trots op zijn! (Manfred Moch ook :))
En Ack van Rooyen, kan dit wsl ook waarderen.
So would Billy!!
😘
The version of this song was done by Billy Vaughn
Originally by Bert Kaempfert, although Vaughn's version was a bigger hit here in America.
Belo clássico como Áfrikkan Beat
Femke IJlstra eres genial... ¡casa conmigo!
If BK was still alive I'll bet he'd get a kick out of this! R.I.P.
Joya
Femke is excellent as usual. I think the slng was played a bit too fast. That or the recording is too fast.
Este video sería perfecto si el audio fuese más fuerte. El volumen tira más para abajo.
If only we could have heard such entertaining music on BBC Radio when live studio music was the game in town. Alas, it was not to be, just too much tedious, tuneless dross. But no matter; this was all a long time ago.
Muito bem, gostei, parabéns!!!!
Versión requebuena...
How anyone could hate this song is beyond me.
LUV this piece -- but it's still better in the original key
Beer drinking music.
If people would pour themselves a snifter of brandy;fire up a good cigar;listen to some cool music like SwingingbSafari and chill axed they'd have a lot more fun.
Transposed down to Bb Major.
🙂Nadie supera s Bert Kaempfrt, en la interpretación de Ritmo Africano, les falta el filing.
Man denkt, die Welt ist sowas von heil........
Nicely done, but too polite and a tad unswinging.
Solo sax is great. The rest of them are completely out of time until the first saxophone solo.....
Lisa Simpson all grown up.
HORRIBLE
bellisimo! me acuerdo de mi niñez. Grande Bert
