I always enjoyed Daktari, I guess it was the Americans cashing in on the 'Born Free' movie and the interest it generated in westerners living in the African Jungle and caring for the wildlife in the face of dastardly ivory hunters etc.
However while Born Free featured Land Rovers all through, there were none that I remember in Daktari (nor Dodge Kew Fargo or Bedford TK trucks as featured in the later version of this set) The vehicle which starred in Daktari was a good old US Jeep Wagonneer, a big normal control pick-up and it was painted in black and white zebra stripes. I guess this one was green to avoid breaching some sort of copyright.
As you can see I'm missing most of the collateral figures, the tiger (in Africa?) was a recent purchase.
