Visit to a Chief's Son is a 1974 American biographical adventure film directed by Lamont Johnson and starring Richard Mulligan and Johnny Sekka.

The film is based on a memoir titled Visit to a Chief's Son: An American Boy's Adventure with an African Tribe which was written by Robert Halmi and Ann Kennedy and published in 1963.

[4] The film features a brief scene in which both Kevin (John Philip Hogdon) and Codonyo (Jesse Kinaru) are seen swimming and playing nude together in a lake in which there are also several hippopotamus nearby.

In a 1974 interview, Johnson stated: "Four frames of film in which a barely perceptible view of a 12-year-old boy's penis appeared in an underwater sequence gave my movie Visit to a Chief's Son an R-rating until the objectionable subliminal flash was blown up to eliminate it.

That my film, from its conception to its final cut an unabashed family, kids-and-animals-in-Africa picture, should have the same rating as The Exorcist is an obscenity symptomatic of our national disease of censorship".
