Botswana is a county, not a language. The people from Botswana speak Setswana.

Player #1384087, Why is the question incorrect? if someone answered Botswana then they would be incorrect. Not all the options have to be viable, only the answer does.

I lived in Tanzania for 17 years and went on Safaris all the time. Loved the Animals at Serengeti national park and everything else in East Africa.

Melode, as a child I was lifted off the ground by a giraffe at a zoo. The giraffe put its head down to me and I gave him a cuddle, then he lifted his head and I wouldn't let go. Luckily my Dad acted quickly to grab me before the giraffe lifted his head too high.

The photo is so cute. I neverknew giraffes were so friendly. I read that they are usually shy with humans.

Player #1384087, The Swahili word safari means journey, originally from the Arabic adjective سفر (safar) meaning a journey, travelling, touring or voyaging; the verb for "to travel" in Swahili is kusafiri.
