Task 1: Find the nouns ending with suffixes in this text. On a real safari
Safari is a Swahili word meaning travel. It became part of the English language and showed peoples’ fascination with Africa. When adventurous explorers and hunters traveled through the continent, people said they were “on safari”.
Today the modern safari is very different from those old times. People still travel to Africa to see the wildlife or, sadly, to hunt. But now they do it after they have spent a comfortable night in a huge bed with 24-hour service.
However, this is not what you get with Safari Explorations. When you travel with them, it is not unusual to come within a very short distance of a dangerous animal.
Instead of lodges, accommodation is mobile campsites, and cooking is done on open fires. With Safari Explorations, you get a feeling for what safari really means.
