Safari, as such, originated in the 19th century. The author of the word “safari” is Sir Richard Burton, a researcher from England. The word “safari” means a man’s hunt for wild animals in their native habitat solely for fun and enjoyment. With the help of such a hunt, one could show others their masculinity or decorate the walls of the living room with some trophy, for example, deer or leopard horns. Today, a safari is just a fascinating trip through the savannah next to wild animals and a photo-hunt for them.
One of the best places for safari is, of course, Africa. It is here that hunters from all over the world come to hunt for various unusual animals. Of course, now there are not many lovers of killing animals “just like that”, but probably everyone has a sense of excitement. Recently, the word “safari” also acquires the meaning of the word “observation”.
Most people who come to Africa for a vacation dream of seeing leopards, rhinos, elephants, lions and buffaloes with their own eyes. These animals form the top 5 most popular animals in the world as part of a safari. In addition to the five of the above, cheetahs, giraffes and antelopes, as well as a huge number of birds and insects, can be attributed. In Africa, it’s never boring.
The most popular safaris are held in Uganda, Kenya, South Africa, Botswana, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. There is a huge variety of nature reserves in which a variety of animals live. Here you can observe, for example, herds of wildebeests or zebras.

There are many types of safari. There is a classification even by the way of movement: on foot – together with an experienced armed instructor, on a minibus, in a jeep, riding a horse or elephant. It all depends on the thickness of the wallet.
