A new form of speed dating based on a safari is being debuted in Brighton this week.
Hove-based company RightFlirt.com is hosting two of the unusual nights.
Neil-Monticelli Harley-Rüdd, who organises a number of dating events in East Sussex, developed the idea.
He said: “The concept of safari dating originated from seeing the DVD Madagascar 2 with my three-year-old daughter.”
The premise of the night is for male participants to hunt a potential partner.
The men and women will be separated into groups and will be split between three venues.
Mr Harley-Rüdd said: “I want everyone who participates to walk away having had an enjoyable experience – ideally having met their soul mate.”
Romantic success with the evenings is usually differs, Mr Harley-Rüdd said participants will always make new friends.
Two events will be held in Brighton on February 21 and Hove on February 28.
