Reception

In a mixed review, the author M. Faust wrote, "Everything you would require in a family movie but not much more, Hollywood Safari contains enough heroic animals and vanquishable villains to hold the attention spans of both children and parents." VideoHound gave the film 2.5 stars, calling it "a pleasant enough time-waster". The reviewers Mick Martin and Marsha Porter also gave it 2.5 stars, writing, "Adventure aimed at kids, who may not mind the jumpy plot and cheapo special effects." Knight-Ridder News Service film critic Randy Myers rated the film a B, finding it to be "Good family fun, with some genuine suspense and laughs."
