A Safari Romance plot
Here's the official plot of A Safari Romance from Hallmark Channel:
"Megan is a research scientist living her dream in South Africa pursuing a Ph.D. in Ethology, while working as a ranger on a nature reserve. When Tim, an American theme park designer, arrives to capture footage for an immersive, safari-themed attraction, Megan serves as his guide. As they explore the savanna and observe giraffes, elephants and lions in their natural habitats, they open up to each other about their dreams and begin to grow close. Things are going well until Amy, a woman from Tim's past, arrives to take over the project. Amy's reckless disregard for rules puts Megan's job at risk and threatens Megan and Tim's budding romance. Megan, knowing that Tim will soon return home, is also wary of giving her heart to someone who lives half a world away — but she may find that love is an adventure worth taking."
