Expert summary

A safari is an overland journey, especially a trip by tourists to Africa, traditionally for a big-game hunt. The modern meaning of the term is a journey through African wildlife sanctuaries, to watch and photograph big game and other wildlife, as a safari holiday. The very word and the action referred to by it suggest a certain style, including khaki outfit, belted bush jackets, slouch hats, animal’s skins, etc. The word entered English in late 19th century and it was at first used for any type of journey from Nairobi to Mombasa. Now the word is widely used in a general sense to mean any long or adventurous journey or expedition such as whale-watching, eco-safari, photography safari, etc.
