A safari (; originally ) is an overland journey to observe or hunt wild animals, especially in East Africa. The so-called "Big Five" game animals of Africa – lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo – particularly form an important part of the safari market, both for wildlife viewing and big-game hunting. thumb|Ernest Hemingway posing with a Cape buffalo he shot on a safari hunt in Africa in the early 1950s
