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. What better way is there to keep tabs on our daily journeys (to places known and unknown) than through the written word? Join us on a daily literary safari as we travel and discover the world through books, art, movies, music, family, and more.Featured Stories
