What is a safari?
The word Safari comes from Swahili and means “long journey.” But a safari is far more than just travel it’s an adventure through Africa’s wild landscapes, where every moment brings the chance to witness breathtaking nature and untamed wildlife. Today, safaris often take travelers across one or more African countries, exploring national parks and reserves. Inside these parks, the guided excursions, known as game drives, offer an up-close look at majestic animals in their natural habitats, making every journey an unforgettable experience.
