The legendary American writer Ernest Miller Hemingway (1899-1961) was probably the most influential person to introduce the Swahili word “safari” to the English language. Hemingway travelled in East Africa two times in his life and the experiences gave him material for several short stories and novels.
The style and impetus for travel to this spectacular continent is now markedly different from that of Hemingway’s day, when hunting was the motivating factor. Nowadays, a safari in Africa is an incredible journey of observation, of cultures and of wildlife.
