East African languages may not be your forte, but we all know one word in Swahili: safari. Though it actually translates as ‘journey’, we understand safari to mean a trip seeking animals in the wild. But there’s more to it than ticking off the Big Five on an African plain; safaris can just as easily focus on creatures much closer to home.
Whether it’s turtles in Turkey, birds on the Black Sea or even red squirrels and whales here in Britain, safaris are about heading out into nature and relishing the moment.
