Wasnt Ramar of the Jungle set in India, with tigers and turbans? Just my fading memory.
There were several seasons, at least one of which was set in Africa and another in India. They all used grainy old black and white pre-war wildlife footage from all over the world - the heroes would be tramping through the West African jungle (a set in Hollywood) when all of a sudden Indian elephants would stampede past, followed by South American anteaters noodling through the woods, then perhaps Masai warriors killing a lion on the plains of East Africa. The main hero carried a Mannlicher-stocked rifle, with which he dispatched a juvenile male lion in the titles preceding each episode. The stories usually featured a well-endowed blonde in dire need of rescue, either from quicksand, a wicked witch doctor, or a mad scientist (the latter bent, no doubt, on proving that ingested lead kills wildlife or that climate change is real).
