NEW YORK, June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gaiam, Inc., a leading producer of lifestyle media, today announced the June release of the popular Animal Planet hit Safari, under its exclusive home video license agreement with Discovery Communications.

In Safari, viewers can experience nature's jarring feast of beauty, tension and triumph as they have never seen it before.

In five beautifully captured episodes, conservationists relocate entire elephant families, study the fiercely intelligent golden jackal, observe the ill-tempered black rhino, and survey the miraculous life path of an orphaned baby giraffe. Safari's true stories of the animal kingdom will thrill and captivate children and adults alike. Safari carries an SRP of $14.98 and has a run time of 215 minutes. Street date: 6/8/10

This new release will be available wherever DVDs are sold, including online at Amazon.com.
