A safari / s ə ˈ f ɑːr i / is an overland journey, usually a trip by tourists to Africa . In the past, the trip was often a big-game hunt , but today, safari often refers to trips to observe and photograph wildlife —or hiking and sight-seeing as well.

The Swahili word safari means journey, originally from the Arabic سفر (safar) meaning a journey ; [1] the verb for "to travel" in Swahili is kusafiri . These words are used for any type of journey, e.g. by bus from Nairobi to Mombasa or by ferry from Dar es Salaam to Unguja . Safari entered the English language at the end of the 1850s thanks to Richard Francis Burton , the famous explorer. [2]

The Regimental March of the King's African Rifles was 'Funga Safari', literally 'tie up the March', or, in other words, pack up equipment ready to march.

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

Funga safari, funga safari. Funga safari, funga safari. Amri ya nani? Amri ya nani? Amri ya Bwana Kapteni, Amri ya KAR.

Which is, in English:

Prepare to March, Prepare to March. On whose orders? On whose orders? On the order of the boss captain, On the order of the KAR.

On Kenya's independence from Britain, Funga Safari was retained as the Regimental March of the Kenya Rifles, successor to the K.A.R.

In 1836 William Cornwallis Harris led an expedition purely to observe and record wildlife and landscapes by the expedition's members. Harris established the safari style of journey, starting with a not too strenuous rising at first light, an energetic day walking, an afternoon rest then concluding with a formal dinner and telling stories in the evening over drinks and tobacco. [3]

Literary genre

Jules Verne 's first novel Five Weeks in a Balloon published in 1863 and H. Rider Haggard 's first novel King Solomon's Mines published in 1885, both describe journeys of English travellers on Safari and were best sellers in their day. These two books gave rise to a genre of Safari adventure novels and films. [ citation needed ]

Ernest Hemingway wrote several fiction and non-fiction pieces about African safaris. His short stories The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber and The Snows of Kilimanjaro are set on African safaris and were written after Hemingway's own experience on safari. His books Green Hills of Africa and True at First Light are both set on African safaris.

Cinematic genre

The safari provided countless hours of cinema entertainment in sound films from Trader Horn (1931) onwards. The safari was used in many adventure films such as the Tarzan , Jungle Jim , and Bomba the Jungle Boy film series up to The Naked Prey (1965) where Cornel Wilde , a white hunter , becomes game himself. The safari genre films were parodied in the Bob Hope comedies Road to Zanzibar and Call Me Bwana . A short 15-minute helicopter safari was shown in Africa Addio where clients are armed, flown from their hotel and landed in front of an unlucky and baffled elephant . Out of Africa has Karen Blixen and famous hunter Denys Finch Hatton travelling, with Denys refusing to abandon home comforts using fine china and crystal and listening to Mozart recordings over the gramophone while on safari trip.

There is a certain theme or style associated with the word, which includes khaki clothing, belted bush jackets , pith helmets or slouch hats , and animal skin patterns. The term safari chic arose after the release of the film Out of Africa . [4] This not only included clothing but also interior design and architecture. [5]

Fauna, Flora, Funga

The FFF Initiative elevates fungi's conservation status by advocating for their inclusion in international laws and policies, promoting the term "Funga" alongside "Fauna" and "Flora."

In 2018, the paper delimiting the term funga was published, recognizing the pressing need for a collective term equivalent to "Fauna" and "Flora" specifically for the kingdom Fungi. This paper thoroughly analyzed and reviewed various terminologies proposed by mycologists, aiming to simplify projects focused on educational and conservation goals. After extensive discussions, the authors proposed the adoption of the word "Funga" as the accurate and encompassing term for the fungi kingdom.

From this, the Fauna, Flora, Funga initiative was created: a collaborative endeavor between the Fungi Foundation, NYU's Earth Advocacy Clinic , and Merlin Sheldrake , that seeks to elevate the status of fungi within the realm of conservation and environmental protection. Fungi have long been overlooked despite their critical role in sustaining life on Earth. The initiative aims to rectify this oversight by advocating for the inclusion of fungi in international environmental and conservation law, policies, and language. Central to the initiative's goals is the widespread adoption of the term funga as a distinct category along fauna and flora.

Out of the numerous supporters of the initiative's mission, Re:wild and IUCN SSC have taken the lead as the first international organizations to commit to recognizing fungi as a distinct and indispensable kingdom of life crucial for safeguarding and revitalizing our planet. In 2021, the organizations announce their commitment to use “mycologically-inclusive” language in their internal and public-facing communications (“fauna, flora and funga” and “animals, fungi and plants”) and to incorporate fungi in conservation strategies with rare and endangered plants and animals.

Steps to Support the FFF Initiative:

You might wonder how you can contribute to the Flora Fauna Funga initiative. First and foremost, educate yourself and others about the importance of fungi in our lives and ecosystems. Make the distinction that they are not plants or animals, that they are their own kingdom. Then use the word Funga . When “fauna” and “flora” are mentioned, add “funga”. When it's “animals” and “plants”, add “fungi”. Share articles , research, and educational resources. Engage with organizations and institutions in your region and point out if they need to make this change, so that we can work for a better future that recognizes funga as the interconnectors of nature.
