The word safari is derived from the Swahili word for long journey. Traditionally it was an overland expedition into the African wilderness. Nowadays it’s used to describe wildlife watching tours. But where to watch wildlife? Use this worldwide safari travel guide for inspiration!
Safaris are not restricted to Africa, you can watch wildlife all over the world. There is tiger and elephant tracking in India and penguins and seal experiences in Antarctica.

Safaris come in many different forms. While the traditional jeep tour in Africa is still the most common, people are exploring other more adventurous options. These days there are trekking, kayaking, horse riding, hot air balloon and even zipline safaris.
Where to watch wildlife and what kind of safari you choose is up to you. But this worldwide safari travel guide will help to plan your trip. With safari holidays, experiences, accommodation, discounts and articles you can find what you are looking for at a great price.
