Safari retains the two protagonists of Mix up at the farm: Pinyot and Carabassot. This time, these two characters explain the conflict in which they have become involved on the Savannah, where they have travelled after receiving news warning them of the mysterious disappearance of the lion. In their investigation, they question the giraffe, the monkey, the elephant, the crocodile… and, in the midst of the adventure, they come across the lion, downcast and thoughtful, unable to roar. With a firm determination to solve the case and lend a helping hand, the intrepid investigators of La Baldufa try to uncover the reasons behind this sorrow. Why does the crocodile persist in harassing the lion? Why do the other animals also insist on bothering him? What will it take for the king of the Savannah to regain his courage?

Once again, this is a show aimed at young children, featuring a playful set design that unfolds to create an engaging space reflecting this entire ecosystem.

Bullying is the issue addressed. Children can understand its threats through the behavior of the crocodile and the lion, as well as that of the giraffe, the monkey and the elephant. Pinyot and Carabassot's concern is similar to that of parents and teachers. Children can also be fierce and cruel to their peers. However, we firmly believe that through education and dedicated work, positive attitudes and behaviors can be fostered, allowing for gentle and peaceful coexistence.

We invite you to take part in and enjoy this Safari.
