Tuesday, December 27, 2022, France 2 inaugurates in prime time a new program entitled Instinct animal. For this program with a new concept, halfway between a wildlife documentary and an immersion program, the actress Julie de Bona has agreed to leave for two weeks to meet the wildlife in Tanzania.
Seeing the actress Julie de Bona in the savannah landscapes of Tanzania, in the trailer of the show Instinct animal on France 2, one could think that it is a new issue of Rendez-vous en terre inconnue with Raphaël de Casabianca...
Many journalists have indeed pointed out that the new concept inaugurated by France 2 from December 27, 2022 has similarities with the famous show imagined by Frederic Lopez!
In 'Animal Instinct', a personality agrees to go far away and live an experience that will upset his landmarks and beliefs. However, unlike 'Rendez-vous en terre inconnue', the guests don't go to meet an isolated people but the wildlife.
To help celebrities reconnect with their part of animality and reconnect with the wilderness, France 2 has entrusted the reins of the show Instinct animal to the tandem formed by Perrine Crosmary and Diego Bunuel.
The first is a specialist in wilderness immersions and has been a safari guide for 7 years. The second is a documentary filmmaker and will be the presenter of a new formula of the program Thalassa in 2023.
This duo will take stars into the wilderness, in direct contact with wild animals, which is even more difficult to organize than Rendezvous in unknown lands. With wildlife, it is difficult to plan and the exchange is mostly through emotion.
In the first issue, it is the actress Julie de Bona who tries the experience of reconnecting with nature and with her part of animality in Tanzania.
She who was afraid of everything when she arrived there has metamorphosed during this two-week trip according to host Diego Bunuel. 'By the end of the shoot, it was Rambo', he said.
Less extreme than survival shows like Koh-Lanta but wilder than Celebrity Farm, Animal Instinct is an experience that celebrities are not likely to forget.
In the first issue, we see Julie de Bona surprised, adapted and moved by the contact with these wild animals that we are not used to see anymore. The immersion in a wild environment is a real return to the roots. This experience is also an awareness. It allows us to realize that the Earth does not belong exclusively to humans and that animality and humanity are two worlds to be reconciled.
At a time when humanity is questioning its way of life and the notions of sustainable development and respect for biodiversity, this program shows us in images how fragile the balance between man and wildlife is.
This new program, which combines adventure and ecology, promises participants a succession of strong emotions. During this trip to Africa, Julie de Bona experienced many of them in contact with elephants, lions, hippos and giraffes. Through the prism of animals, she says she learned a lot about herself.
If viewers are satisfied, this program could become a recurring feature on France Télévisions. Diego Bunuel has already mentioned Asia and Australia as potential destinations for future editions of the show.
Don't miss this first rendezvous in animal lands on Tuesday, December 27, 2022 at 9:10 pm on France 2.
