Wildlife Safari in Africa

Safari in Africa

An African safari or wildlife safari is a journey in Africa that involves being in nature watching and observing wild animals and birds (on a guided walk, game drive, or boat tour); a trip into the wilderness to see wildlife. For example hippos, zebra, elephants, lions, giraffes, colorful birds, and more.
