A safari holiday can be a great experience, for both you and your family. A safari, in case you didn’t know, is when you travel through land with the intent to either witness or hunt animals in their natural habitat. The word safari originated in east Africa, where the Arabic word ‘safara’, meaning; to travel, was translated into safari, and has since developed to mean what it does today. The most commonly conducted safari nowadays, at least among western visitors to Africa, is to visit a wildlife reserve, and drive around the reserve viewing the various examples of wildlife on display. You can get an idea of what a safari is like by visiting a zoo in Britain where they offer safari style tours of their animals. This pales in comparison to a legitimate safari experience, where you can view animals in their natural habitat, with greater diversity than any zoo, and with real conflict taking place, something you will be unlikely to see with the different species being in separate sections so as to avoid conflict. Conflict is inevitable in the wild, and although distressing to many, it is a reality of existence in the wild.  If seeing real world wildlife outside of TV screen is something which interests you, you should give serious consideration to going on a safari.
