Safari

Safari is an overland journey which generally refers to travel in Africa by tourists. Tourists usually travel for a big hunt and a safari is associated with khaki clothing, pith helmets, slouch hats, belted bush jackets, and animal skins, specifically leopard’s skin. A usb memory stick is a great way to store all the special photos from your trip.

The safari was made famous by US author Ernest Hemingway and President Theodore Roosevelt. This may take several days or weeks, which includes camping in the jungle and engaging in big game hunting. Generally, tourists are hunters attended by professional hunters, skinners, porters, and local guides.

The word 'safari', incorporated into the English language in the 19th century, means journey in Swahili. It is derived from the Arabic word 'safra', which means a journey. In Swahili, the verb 'to travel' is 'kusafiri', the noun for journey is 'safari'. The renowned explorer, Sir Richard Francis Burton, was the one who included the word 'safari' in English.

'Safari' is used to refer to hunting and travelling expeditions in East Africa, but now this term also refers to observing and taking pictures of wildlife in Africa. The famous safari regions are the Masai Mara and Serengeti (East Africa), Etosha (Namibia), Kruger National Park (South Africa), as well as the Chobe National Park and Okavango Delta (Botswana). A safari can also include risky expeditions and trips, such as whale-watching safaris, eco-safaris, Amazon safaris, Artic safaris, watching safaris, and others.

A safari is featured in a documentary film, Trader Horn (1931). It is also seen in adventure films like 'Tarzan', 'Bomba the Jungle Boy' film series, 'Jungle Jim', and 'The Naked Prey'.
