Safari: Etymology of the day

Safari was borrowed in the 1850s from the Swahili safari, meaning “journey” or “expedition,” in turn from the Arabic safar, “journey” or “tour.”

  1. Indeed! And that is a gem of an image.

  2. Was the term safari coined for the white hunter with the big gun? Who goes on Safari and blasts everything with 50 caliber slugs?

  3. I have noticed you don’t monetize your website,
    don’t waste your traffic, you can earn extra bucks
    every month because you’ve got high quality content. If you want to know
    how to make extra money, search for: Mrdalekjd methods for $$$
