Safari Poems - Poems about Safari

While on safari (Kiswahili for 'trip') in Tanzania over the horizon in a downward slip across the savannah the sun had begun to set thought I'd seen it all and yet out on the endless plains known to the Maasai as 'Serengeti' not laughing but and don't think me petty with leopard-like rosettes dotted some funny-looking hyenas there were spotted ...

Africa, gentle your fiery wild blaze, Lest heat waves plunder my safari days. I seek adventure, wild, fun-filled and free, Not scorching sunbeams that beg to drain me. The savannah's golden vastness beckons, Two giraffes emerge, my stares they reckon, Their eyes bright, like ancient wisdom, meet mine, My camera begs to flaunt their design. Their gaze gave a shared fleeting scary bond, My...

From the lofty snowcapped peaks of Kilimanjaro The morning mist envelopes its verdant foothills in a tight embrace, No need to hurry, this is not a race, Beads of sunlight dancing across the glistening dew. As the plains of Amboseli reveal their golden hue, There's movement spied where none existed moments prior, A herd of Zebra lounging in their elegant attire, The lush...

Our winter break at Safari West. Birds chirping in their nest. The creek’s melodious medley The smell and pitter-patter of the rain Goosebumps from the cold wind Thick fog covering the tall pine And ducks and ducklings swimming in a line...

I'm limping in the Savanna With my safari hat askew I've never been to Africa before So this experience is new I can see an elephant in the distance, far, far away. My legs have started to tremble, I hope that's where that elephant will stay. I get out my binoculars, hoping I look like a pro, I dropped them in the dense...

A journey to another land Where I am free to roam I reach outside my comfort zone This doesn't feel like home I look upon the rocky plains As I am harnessed in A chance to zip above it all I can't wait to begin Wild beasts below my feet And birds up in the sky My nerves are high but I'm assured That I...

These leopard eyes warily see another crimson dawn on the cold concrete Serengeti A scarlet sun shaped like the barrel of a gun Dark plume of heat triggers the survival instinct scatter Watch the bulls-eye prey run Where to in the confusion? It doesn’t matter ... I see every bent knee flee the fatal gather And the hard asphalt ground is soaked with cull pleasure splatter Such cruel...

The scenery was magnificent, and the morning was slightly hot, Our land cruiser was windowless, and sitting in a lovely spot. The giraffes were splendid, and much bigger than I'd expected, One could hardly gaze at the vast savanna and not be affected! They moved with an elegance of grace, through a sea of green, Offering years of happy...

haiku ********* a fledgeling starling came to the pond to quench thirst a koi carp jumped - no butterflies a white tailed bumblebee queen mint moths abundant - hen blackbird feeding newly hatched chicks wasps succumbed to rain - flower fly hovers over greater speedwell forget-me-not blooms - midges chance their luck my white lilac turned to seed bird cherries ripen - on my garden bench recording observations shirt off sunbathing - moss once roof attached lay scattered on the footpath spring storm...

Our friends went on safari; We enjoyed their tales and pics. The guides escorted them to bed, Their weapons only sticks. Yet once inside their tents they heard Some lions in a fight. With predators so close, I know I’d never sleep at night. Another day a hippo started Making an approach. The guide called out, “Get in the jeep!” Which was their touring coach. The wildlife...
