The Swahili word “safari” means trip.
In our lifetimes, we all embark on multiple safaris — trips that are sometimes real and other times, imaginary or metaphorical.

Join us on a daily literary safari as we travel and discover the world through books, art, movies, music, family, and more.Featured Stories
