safari-goer

Savanna expedition participant

A safari-goer is someone who goes on a safari, typically a wildlife-viewing expedition in Africa.

The term emphasizes the participant's role as a traveler or tourist rather than a guide or operator.

Safari-goers packed into jeeps at dawn to spot lions.

The word follows the common pattern of adding -goer to an activity or venue to denote someone who attends or participates in it, like moviegoer or churchgoer.
