ABSTRACT
THERE is no word in English to describe the usual kind of travelling in Africa. The word "caravan" is not expressive enough in its usual sense, and even this word is Eastern in origin.
So in different parts of the continent we have to borrow local words. We have, in South Africa, "a trek," or "to go on trek. " In Central Africa we have "ulendo" and "to go on ulendo "; while in East Africa we talk of " safari."
