"Safari A safari () is an overland journey, usually a trip by tourists in Africa. In the past, the trip was often a big-game hunt, but today, safaris are often to observe and photograph wildlife—or hiking and sightseeing, as well. The Swahili word ""safari"" means ""journey,"" originally from the Arabic سفر (safar) meaning ""a journey""; 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"

Animals exceptional in some way and so not easily fitting in the other classes may be placed in this class. The other classes have foundations that may at first seem similarly counterintuitive.

"one of her opinions seem to concur with Charles new's meaning of ""getting lost"" or ""to give farewell to someone who is about to take a journey that you are not sure if they will be back (as they may get lost forever)"". In earlier Swahili language this would have been called 'kuchaaga' meaning to say bye. Today's Swahili is 'kuaga'. Why the land was attached with the word 'to get lost'?

As suggested by the title, which means ""peace"" in Swahili, the song is about the plight of war-ravaged Africa and the yearning for world peace. Part of the song's lyrics were written in Swahili. The song is still often used by Hong Kong's human rights bands to spread the message of peace. In the same year, Beyond made their first appearance on Japan's NHK station. They immediately signed with record company Amuse. Beyond started to become a more international band, and began to focus more time in Japan and Taiwan."
