I get tired of the misuse of the word "safari". That word means hunting wild game in Africa with a lethal weapon. It doesn't mean going to take photos of birds or animals anywhere! It doesn't mean going to the zoo, or an animal park, anywhere! Even if you are dumb enough to roll your window down and get killed by the wild game you've come to watch. http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/01/...on-attack/index.html Calling your vacation to Disney World or the equivalent a "safari" is just a bunch of namby-pamby types trying to pretend they've done something exciting and adventurous, when they are really nothing but a bunch of tee shirt collectors. | ||

From the point of view of a lion it was a real Safari. | |||

I understand your view, but it is not strictly correct. It really means any adventurous journey, and, since the origin is Swahili/Arabic, one could imply that means an African journey.
xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

I could be corrected, but I believe the Ki-Swahili word connotes a journey or an "adventure". Same thing in Swahili as it's a bit imprecise. In my book, that usually involves firearms and hunting, but I think the term could be somewhat broader. | |||
