On your safari, you are going to hear words and phrases you may never have heard before and might not understand. To be as prepared as you can, we recommend studying up on some basics before heading out. A little language prep goes a long way in preparing you for the sights, sounds and sensations you’ll encounter in the bush.

Here are 23 basic words and phrases you should know to make the most of your safari.

Common Swahili Words and Phrases

While it’s nice to know a little Swahili, you don’t need to utter a syllable to have a memorable trip. Thomson guides and camp staff speak English and will have no problem conversing with you on wildlife drives and at camp. Still, some words and phrases have become mainstays of safari vernacular. Maybe you will recognize a few of them from the “Lion King”!

Asante sana

[ ah SAHN -tay SAH -nah ] “Thank you very much.”

Hakuna matata or Hakuna shida

[ hah- KOON -ah mah- TAh -tah, hah- KOON -ah SHE -dah ] Both mean “No problem,” but in practice, it’s more common to hear Tanzanians say hakuna shida. Hakuna matata was popularized by the “Lion King.”

[ JAHM -boh ] “Hello.”

[ knee- YOUm -bah ] “Home.” It’s what we call the eco-friendly tented camps where guests stay on their safari. Designed exclusively for Thomson, these comfortable accommodations keep you close to the wildlife while offering queen-sized beds, freshly pressed sheets and private bathrooms with showers and hot water. Learn more about nyumbas here .

[ RAh -fee-kee ] “Friend.” You’ll likely hear it more often as a term of endearment, rather than a description of someone. For example, “Asante sana, rafiki” is a popular way of addressing others.

Safari njema

[ sah- FAHR -ee en -JEM -ah ] Safari means “to travel,” and njema means “good.” Safari njema roughly means “Have a nice trip!”

[ SIM -bah ] “Lion.”

[ TWEHn -deh ] “Let’s go.” Your guide may say this whenever you’re heading out for your next wildlife drive, meal or lodge.

Common Locations in Tanzania  

Oldupai/olduvai gorge.

olduvai gorge in tanzania

[ AWL -d oo -vahy ] Oldupai/Olduvai is a canyon 30 miles long and 295 feet deep, making it a particularly steep ravine of the Great Rift Valley. It’s one of the most important paleoanthropological sites in the world, famous for the excavations performed by Drs. Louis and Mary Leakey in the mid-20 th century.

Mt. Kilimanjaro

snowy summit of mount kilimanjaro

[ kil- uh -m uh n- JAHR -oh ] Standing at 19,341 feet, Mt. Kilimanjaro is one of the world’s seven summits. It’s also the world’s tallest free-standing mountain, the highest point in Africa and home to five distinct ecological zones, ranging from rainforests to glaciers. Over 25,000 people attempt to climb to the Roof of Africa annually; notably, Thomson has a 98% summit success rate .

Ngorongoro Crater

mist rolls over rim of ngorongoro crater

[ in-gore-ohn- GORE -oh ] At about 12 miles wide, Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest unbroken caldera and home to the highest density of mammal life in East Africa. Within its towering walls are forests, lakes, sprawling grasslands and more. Here is one of the few places guests can see all of the Big Five in one day!

sunrise and clouds in serengeti

[ ser-uhn- GET -ee ] Translating to “land that flows on forever” in the Maasai language, the Serengeti is Tanzania’s most famous national park. Its vast plains are home to millions of wildebeest that move continuously in the Great Migration. In the Serengeti travelers regularly see wildlife in awe-striking abundance. Lions, cheetahs, zebras, herds of giraffes and more are generally highly visible.

tarangire baobab tree and elephants

[ tar-n- GEAR -reh ] Tarangire is sometimes called a “Mini Serengeti” because it has similar wildlife on a smaller scale. It’s located to the south-east of Lake Manyara and is a popular stop on many safari itineraries.

relax on hammock under palm trees on zanzibar islands

[ ZAN -zee-bar ] Located 20 miles off the Tanzanian coast is Zanzibar, an archipelago known as the Spice Island due to its long history in the spice trade. Safari travelers like to finish up their trip among the island’s turquoise water and sandy beaches. Snorkeling and kayaking are popular diversions on the water. On land, Stone Town’s narrow streets, old spice farm excursions and open-air bazaars make it worthy of adventure.

Common Safari Terms

Balloon safari.

hot-air balloon over serengeti at sunrise

Floating in a hot-air balloon offers a completely new perspective of the Serengeti. From your wicker basket in the sky, you can see the sun rising over the sprawling plains. It’s simply magical–and to top it off, an English breakfast in the bush always follows. Here are 5 reasons Thomson guests choose balloon safaris.

Africa’s Big Five is a list of five of the most sought-after species on a wildlife spotting safari: lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and buffalo. In places like Ngorongoro Crater, it’s possible to see all five animals in one day. Most of the Big Five can be easier to find when you have an expert guide leading the way.

This is a broad term indicating any wild land. In Tanzania, you’ll head “into the bush” when you go on safari. Depending on your location, you may even have time for a morning “bush walk” with your guide, exploring the region by foot and keeping an eye out for scat, prints and other signs of wildlife.

The Great Migration

wildebeest jumps into mara river tanzania

The constant migration of some two million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles throughout the Serengeti ecosystem. Over 85% of it occurs in the Tanzania, offering dramatic sights such as river crossing and predator-and-prey action. Learn more about when you can see the Great Migration .

serengeti kopjes

[ COP -ee ] Kopjes are like rocky islands jutting out of the Serengeti plains. They contrast greatly with the grasslands and provide habitat for wildlife and plants. Notably, lions like kopjes for their high perches and opportunities to hide their cubs. They also like to laze around on the rocks!

maasai women in tanzania

[ MAA -sigh ] The Maasai are one of the most well-known of Tanzania’s 120+ ethnic groups. Their red garments and elaborate beadwork easily distinguish them. Many live as semi-nomadic pastoralists just as their ancestors did for thousands of years, herding cattle, sheep and goats. On select Thomson safaris, you’ll have the opportunity to visit Maasai communities for a cultural exchange. You’ll have questions for them, and they’ll have questions for you!

Night Drive

porcupines are noctural animals

Night drives are like your normal daytime safari outing, except that you have a higher chance of seeing nocturnal animals, such as the aardvark, porcupine and specific bird species. Night drives are only permitted in areas outside the national parks. They can be exciting, as you a chance to see predators at night, during active hunting hours.

sundowners in serenegeti

Happy hour out in the bush! This term can refer to the time around sunset when you’re sitting down for your cocktail, or it can refer to the drink itself. Traditionally, this would have been a gin and tonic–not only did early safarigoers find it refreshing and delicious, but tonic water also contains quinine, a common treatment for malaria.

elephant in crater

Old elephants whose tusks have grown to impressive sizes earn the name “tusker.” In Tanzania, you might spot a tusker in the Serengeti or the Ngorongoro Crater due to the ever-present water sources and grasses that are easy to chew.

Now you can talk the talk – when you are ready to walk the walk, learn more about a safari with Thomson

Introduction

swahili grammar

You’ve decided to embark on an exciting new adventure – learning Swahili grammar! Swahili, or Kiswahili, is the official language of Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Mozambique, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. With over 100 million speakers across East Africa, Swahili is a vibrant language spoken in one of the most diverse, culturally rich regions of the world.

This comprehensive guide will set you up with everything you need to know to get started. We’ll cover pronunciation, nouns, verbs, greetings, and sentence structure. Before you know it, you’ll be chatting with locals, bargaining at markets, and singing along to the latest East African pop songs. Safari Njema – good luck! Your Swahili journey begins now.

Learn Swahili Quickly: Key Grammar Rules

Learning Swahili grammar doesn’t have to be difficult! With a few key rules, you’ll be conversing comfortably in no time. First, Swahili nouns are grouped into classes that determine the prefix they take. The most common are classes 1 through 10. Memorize the class for each noun and the correct prefix will come naturally. Verbs also have prefixes that must agree with the subject. For example, ‘Nina’ means ‘I have’ while ‘una’ means ‘you have’. Keep a chart of the subject prefixes on hand until you’ve got them down pat.

Focus on Pronunciation

Swahili pronunciation is very straightforward, so spend time listening to native speakers and mimicking the sounds. Pay extra attention to the ‘ng’ sound, as in ‘ngoma’ (drum).

Useful Phrases

Learn some essential greetings and phrases to start conversations like ‘jambo’ (hello), ‘Asante’ (thank you), and ‘tafadhali’ (please). Asking simple questions like ‘umefanya nini’ (how are you) and ‘unaishi wapi’ (where do you live) will take you far. With regular practice, Swahili grammar will become second nature. Don’t get discouraged if you make mistakes. Just dive in and start speaking – your confidence and fluency will grow in no time! Focus on the fundamentals, learn useful phrases, and pronounce everything as accurately as possible. You’ll be fluent before you know it! Keep up the good work!

Master Swahili Pronouns and Common Verbs

meaning of safari njema in swahili

To master Swahili pronouns and verbs, you need to get excited! This foundational part of speech will open you up to a whole new world of expression. First, learn the pronouns: Mimi (I), wewe (you) sisi (we), nyinyi (you plural), and wao (they). Use these when talking about yourself, others, and groups. Practice by describing your routine, your family, and your friends.Now for verbs! Swahili verbs change form based on the subject. The most common verb is ‘to be’ which is ni. Conjugated, it becomes: Mimi ni – I am Wewe ni – You are Yeye ni – We areNinyi ni – You (plural) are Wao ni –

The are other useful verbs include Kula – To eatSoma – To readPika – To cookCheza – To playEnenda – To goTo make these present tense, just add ‘na’: ninakula (I eat), unasoma (you read). With pronouns and verbs down, you’ll be chatting in Swahili in no time! Keep practicing by describing your day, your interests, and your experiences. The key is using these building blocks in real conversations. You’ve got this! Stay enthusiastic, and soon you’ll be fluent!

Kiswahili Nouns and Plurals: Everything You Need to Know

Learning Swahili grammar may seem daunting at first, but have no fear! Nouns and plurals are actually quite straightforward. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be chatting comfortably in no time.

In Swahili, nouns are grouped into classes based on their prefixes. The most common classes are:

  • Class 1: Uses the prefix “m-” for singular and “wa-” for plural. Includes words for people, e.g. mtu (person) and watu (people).
  • Class 3: Uses the prefix “m-” for both singular and plural. Includes words for trees, e.g. mti (tree) and miti (trees).
  • Class 5: Uses the prefix “ji-” for both singular and plural. Includes words for fruits and vegetables, e.g. kitunguu (onion) and majichungu (onions).
  • Class 9: Uses the prefix “n-” for both singular and plural. Includes words for animals, e.g. ngombe (cow) and ngombe (cows).

To form the plural of Swahili nouns, you simply change the noun prefix. For example:

  • Kitabu (book) becomes vitabu (books)
  • Duka (shop) becomes maduka (shops)
  • Mwalimu (teacher) becomes waalimu (teachers)

Some rules of thumb:

  • Class 1 & 2 nouns change “m-” to “wa-”
  • Class 3, 5 & 9 nouns remain the same
  • Class 4, 6, 7 & 8 nouns change the prefix to “ma-”

With regular practice, these patterns will become second nature. Before you know it, you’ll be pluralizing Swahili nouns with confidence! Keep at it and stay enthusiastic – you’ve got this!

Using Adjectives, Adverbs, and Prepositions in Swahili

swahili grammar

Learning Swahili grammar may seem daunting at first, but with some practice, you’ll be chatting away in no time! To start, let’s look at how to use adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions to add some spice to your Swahili. Adjectives are words that describe nouns, like ‘big’, ‘small’, ‘tasty’ or ‘expensive’. In Swahili, adjectives usually come after the noun they’re describing. For example, ‘nyumba kubwa’ means ‘big house’.

Some common adjectives are -kubwa (big), -dogo (small), -Zuri (beautiful), and -baya (bad). Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives or other adverbs, like ‘quickly’, ‘happily’, or ‘very’. In Swahili, many adverbs are formed by adding -sana to an adjective. For example, ‘haraka’ means ‘quick’, and ‘haraka sana’ means ‘quickly’. Other examples are -zuri sana (very beautiful) and -pya sana (very new). Prepositions show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. Common Swahili prepositions include:

  • kwa – for, by, with
  • katika – in, at, on
  • bila – without
  • kama-like, as
  • baada ya – after
  • kabla ya – before
  • juu ya – above, on top of
  • chini ya – below, under

By learning these parts of speech, you’ll open up a whole new world of descriptive language in Swahili. Practice describing things around you, speak with native Swahili speakers and listen to Swahili radio or podcasts. Before you know it, you’ll be conversing comfortably using adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions to add color to your Swahili!

Swahili language for beginners: common Swahili words & phrases

Are you traveling to Kenya, Tanzania, or any other East African country soon? Then it's useful to know some common Swahili words and phrases . Swahili is the national language of Kenya, Tanzania, and the Democratic Public of Congo and is widely spoken in Uganda, and in smaller numbers in Rwanda, Burundi, Malawi, Mozambique, and North Zambia. It’s one of the easiest African languages to learn, especially if you speak English. A big advantage of the Swahili language is that the pronunciation of Swahili words is exactly how they’re spelled.

Embarking on a journey to learn Swahili easily. We will dive into the most common Swahili words and phrases, in other words: Learn  Swahili for beginners!

You know how to introduce yourself in Swahili, to greet in Swahili, and you will learn basic Swahili phrases to make traveling in East Africa easier. Embark on your Swahili learning adventure right here!

Swahili Language Origin

Swahili, also known by its local name Kiswahili , is the native language of the Swahili people , who are found primarily in Tanzania, Kenya, and Mozambique. It is one of the most widely used African languages, encompassing more than a dozen main dialects.

The Swahili people are a Bantu ethnic group , inhabiting East Africa's lands. That makes the Swahili language one of the Bantu languages that have been influenced by a variety of other languages, including Arabic, Portuguese, and German. The Bantu language family is a large family of languages spoken by the Bantu people in the southern half of Africa.

Learn to greet in Swahili

Jambo is a Swahili greeting that means ‘hello’ in English. Mambo refers to ‘how are you’ as well. When greeted with ‘jambo’ you can respond with ‘jambo’. When greeted with Mambo, respond with ‘poa’ (Cool). I found that Jambo is used mostly among tourists, while locals use the word 'mambo' as an informal way (slang) of greeting.

Habari  also means ‘Hello’ and is often used when speaking to older people. The best response is 'nzuri', which means ‘I am fine’. Nzuri is a positive word that’s often used in the Swahili language. You can also use it when something is beautiful, good, or nice.

If you would like to refer to a particular part of the day, instead of ‘hello’ in general, it’s best to use ‘habari’. If you want to say 'good morning', you say 'Habari ya (za) asubuhi', for 'good afternoon', use 'Habari za (ya) mchana' and if you want to say ‘good evening’, you say 'Habari ya (za) jioni'. For wishing a ‘good night’ you can say lala salama .

'Ya' is the 'of' used to talk about a single thing in the I- noun class. 'Za' is used for 'of' when speaking of multiple things in that noun class. The difference in the "habari" greeting may vary geographically. They mean the same thing.

The best way to say ‘we will see each other’ or ‘see you later’, is Tutaonana baadaye . It’s often said right before saying ‘goodbye’ which is kwa heri in Swahili. To wish someone a good day before saying ‘kwa heri’ you can say Siku njema , meaning ‘have a good day’.

Ask how someone is in Swahili

If you are comfortable in trying to start a small conversation in Swahili , you can say ‘how are you’ by asking hujambo? . If you ask two or more people ‘how are you all’ you say hamjambo . If someone asks you how you are doing, you can respond with sijambo which means ‘I am fine’. If you are in a group, you can say leo hatujambo which means ‘we are fine today’.

Introducing yourself in Swahili

Locals appreciate it if you show interest in their local language and culture. The locals will definitely like it if you introduce yourself in Swahili. To tell someone your name, you can say Jina langu ni [your name] which means ‘my name is…’. To ask the other one's name, you can ask jina lako ni nani? meaning ‘what is your name?’

To tell them where you’re from, you can say ‘mimi ni’ followed by your country. For example, mimi ni Waholanzi  (Dutch), mimi ni Wachina (Chinese), mimi ni Wamerekani (American). The plural noun is ‘Sisi ni…’ meaning ‘we are…’.

Basic Swahili words to know when traveling

Apart from the above Swahili words and phrases, there are a lot more useful phrases and words to know when traveling to East Africa, like asante (thank you), karibu (welcome), tafadhali (please), and hakuna matata (no worries).

The possessive pronouns in Swahili have no feminine or masculine aspect. They depend mainly on the pronouns and the noun class.
