Safari
The 0 _____ element that sets safari apart from the more regular sightseeing is getting to see the wildlife. Translated 1 Swahili, safari means ‘path’ or ‘journey’, and it perfectly captures the idea of walking or driving around the vast spaces of African savannah.
In the past, it would usually involve shooting big game—animals like lions, elephants, rhinos and others. Over the years, the focus of safari has naturally shifted 2 more humane and civilised activities. Hunting rifles have now been 3 with cameras, and the participants are now keen on watching the animals rather rather hurting them. 4 , hunting most animals in Africa is now strictly forbidden. Another change is to make the trip more eco-oriented and sustainable, so tourist are encouraged to 5 down on things like plastic bags or other disposable items.
While the practice of 6 on a safari comes from Africa, many places around the world offer similar experience. However, the only 7 might be driving and looking at animals, while the rest of the package can vary considerably.
When you embark on an adventure like that, keep in mind that the journey is more important than the 8 .
