African safari history

Safari is originally an East African tradition. But now not only the Africans but also people from other countries frequently visit Africa to have the experience of a luxury African safari. Africa is the most popular destination of safari lovers due to its huge variety of wildlife and beautiful landscapes.

The trend of safari was started centuries ago by the Arabs and Swahilis when they used to go on long voyages through the African mainland to spread their business. The term safari was used to describe experiences that were similar to hunting and adventure.

Gradually Africa’s wild life started to attract people looking for a safari adventure. People who came on the cheap African safari either wanted to study the different species of wild animals or wanted to do some hunting. But at present there is a strict regulation on hunting to protect the animals in their natural habitat.

If you are interested to go on a luxury African safari, you can easily book one with the travel agents. If you are accompanied by an experienced guide your tour can be more fun. It is essential to obey the park’s rules and regulations while on the safari and also follow the guide’s instructions so that you can return with fond memories which will last you for a lifetime.
