safari
Quick Summary
A safari is an expedition, typically in Africa, for the purpose of observing or hunting animals. The term originally referred to the caravan and equipment for such a journey, but it now commonly describes the expedition itself. These journeys can also be referred to as expeditions in general, even outside of Africa, such as an "arctic safari". Safaris are often associated with viewing wildlife in their natural habitats, a practice that has economic benefits and contributes to conservation efforts. Countries like Kenya offer diverse ecosystems where abundant wildlife can be studied.12345
