Africa is a continent that teems with interesting animals. many people travel to africa to see these wonders of nature. people who travel to africa often choose to go on safaris. a safari is a journey or trip. according to etymologists, the word safari appeared in the mid- to late-1800s. it was first used to refer to a hunting trip, usually to africa. now, people commonly use it to describe a trip during which people view many types of wildlife.

the nature in africa is unlike any other place on earth. africa has one of the most diverse animal populations in the world. however, many people who go on safaris hope to see the “big five” animals. the big five include the lion, the leopard, the elephant, the rhino, and the buffalo. africa is the only place where the big five live together in the wild. not everyone on a safari will see all of the big five. the number of each type of animal varies in different parts of the continent. the best place to see a large assortment of wild animals is at a park or a reserve.
