A young boy living in Port Said, Egypt, narrowly escapes a bomb blast that destroys the apartment block where he lives. After discovering that both his parents were killed in the explosion, he decides to travel (on foot) to Durban, South Africa, to be with his only living relative, an aunt. During his 4500 mile journey across africa he has many adventures including a first hand experience with the slave trade and living for a time with a band of poachers and criminals. After several months of travel he finally arrives at his destination.

Saw this movie on TV when I was a child and would love to have a copy.

It’s directed by the late great Sandy Mackendrick, who also directed THE LADYKILLERS and SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS, among other terrific movies.
