20 Historical Photos Of People On Safari: Then & Now

Encounters with the wild through the years.

By Sabrina Fernandez

Published 2 months ago in Wow

Safaris have long captured the human imagination, blending the thrill of adventure with the allure of distant landscapes and remarkable wildlife. But throughout the years the concept of Safaris has definitely changed.


From the early 20th century expeditions marked by exploration and hardship, to the modern self-drive journeys and conservation-focused tours of today, the way people experience the wild has transformed dramatically. 


Yet, despite the passage of time, safaris continue to represent a powerful connection between humanity and nature. Historical photographs tell this story vividly: they reveal the timeless wonder of encountering animals in their natural habitats. 


Looking back across decades offers us a glimpse into the past and gives us a sense of nostalgia for that enduring spirit of exploration that only safaris can inspire.
