hunting safaris

African game pursuits

Hunting safaris are guided expeditions, typically in Africa, where participants pay to hunt wild game.

Distinguished from photo safaris, which observe rather than kill: He booked a hunting safari in Tanzania.

The practice remains controversial, with debates over conservation, ethics, and trophy hunting.
