[In Africa by John T. McCutcheon]@TWC D-Link bookIn Africa CHAPTER V 2/28
The life is new and the scenery new.
There is adventure and novelty in every day of such a life, and it is that phase of it that has the most insistent appeal.
It is the call of the wild to which the pre-Adamite monkey in our nature responds. Even if one never used his rifle one would still enjoy life on _safari_. _Safari_ is an Arabic word meaning expedition as it is understood in that country.
If you go on any sort of a trip you are on _safari_.
It need not be a shooting trip. Of course everybody who has read the magazines of the last year has been more or less familiarized with African hunting.
