Collective Nouns For Animals Of Africa

Animal group names, by species.

Want to impress whilst on a safari game drive ? Here’s the perfect list to brush up your knowledge of collective nouns for animals you might see. (Not sure what a ‘collective noun’ is? Easy, it’s simply the name for a group of one particular type of animal.)

Names for collective groups of animals are thought to date from The Book of Saint Albans, published in 1486 by Dame Juliana Berners , where many of the words used for animal groups were chosen purely for the humorous images they conjure up, or the alliteration.

Whilst some names for animals are general and can be used for any subject – swarm, herd, etc. – many other animal group names are specific to just a single animal type.  Everyone knows that a group of lions is called a pride… but did you know that a group of rhinos is a called ‘crash’ or a ‘stubbornness’? How about the collective noun for elephants? (Herd, or memory.)

There are some more real gems of names for groups of many safari animals below, so have a read and let us know what you think:

90 words to use on your next safari

From aardvark to zebra, each grouping or ‘family’ of animals has its own collective noun….

A safari is at the top of many a bucket list. And for good reason. Whether it’s your first game drive or your 100th, each and every one is an adventure; a true broadening of horizons; an education for the mind; and a rejuvenation of the soul.

Fully kitted out in brand new khakis, with cameras and binoculars at the ready, wildlife and nature enthusiasts from around the world eagerly clamber up onto the rugged Landcruiser. Barely able to contain their childlike excitement, they embark on a safari into the unknown.

For the next few hours, or days, they will be captivated by nature’s beauty, mesmerised by the most fascinating facts and regaled with stories (and safari words) they’ll continue to tell their own friends and families for years to come.

While on a safari, you get to do things you’ve only ever dreamed of. Like listening to the grunting gnus of the Great Migration as they traverse the mighty plains of East Africa. Or riding a horse in the African wilderness alongside curious zebra and giraffe (image © Kaskazi Horse Safaris).

Perhaps you’ll take to the sky in a hot air balloon and float peacefully over the world-famous Mara River or the equally renowned Namib Desert. If you’re lucky, you’ll see the Big Five , perhaps catch a fleeting glimpse of one of the Elusive Eleven , or you might even witness a kill, like something straight out of a wildlife documentary.

Going on a safari with an expert &Beyond guide is like stepping into a real-life encyclopaedia that is filled with countless unexpected (and often unbelievable) facts about the most curious of creatures, both big and small.

You’ll learn all sorts of wildlife trivia, like how the chameleon changes colour, what makes the flamingo pink, why the dung beetle spends its day rolling around in dung, and why lions have black tufts on fur on their tails and the backs of their ears.

You’ll watch in awe as the golden orb spider effortlessly spins its silky, golden web. If you’re patient, you’ll likely see one or two of the Little Five , the pint-sized namesakes of their more widely known Big Five counterparts. You might even learn some age-old bush survival skills, like how to make a fire using sticks , or how to make a toothbrush out of a twig and toothpaste out of ash and water.

The more inquisitive and adventurous safari goers often end up doing things they never even thought imaginable, like sticking their fingers in (dry) elephant dung to determine the gentle giant’s diet or taking part in a highly competitive and always entertaining dung-spitting competition.

Yes, you read that correctly. Known as bokdrol spoeg in Afrikaans, this is the comical sport of spitting small, hard pellets of impala or giraffe dung. The farthest flung dung determines the overall dung-spitting champion. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it! What happens on a safari, stays on safari.

Perhaps one of the most popular “safari classroom” lessons is the ever amusing collective noun discussion. Did you know that each grouping or ‘family’ of animals, from the tawny tiger and the leaping lemur, to the sluggish sloth and the hefty hippo, has its own, often rather charming, collective noun?

Here are 90 words to use on your next safari … or journey (after all, safari is the Swahili word for journey). Whether you’re exploring the plains of Africa, the jungles of Asia, or the timeless landscapes of South America, these safari words often weave their way into discussions amongst wildlife lovers. While some are bonafide terms widely accepted in the industry, some are just tongue-in-cheek and meant for a smile.

And if you’re looking for some expert advice (and a few more safari words), our Safari 101: a beginner’s guide sheds light on some more game drive lingo and how to get the most out of your luxury safari adventure.

As they say in Swahili, safari njema or have a good trip. Don’t forget to pack your sense of humour and a keenness for adventure, and join us for a dazzling journey [pun(s) intended].

Adventure Group Name Generator

How to create your own adventure group names.

You might prefer to create your own unique, personalized group name — something truly tailored to your adventure group.

If that’s the case, keep the following tips in mind while brainstorming:

  • Choose something fantastical or historical. Most games that call for adventure groups include fantastical elements like mythological creatures or take place in worlds inspired by historical eras, like medieval times. Look into mythology and history for wide-ranging inspirations.
  • Get inspiration from your group’s traits. Each character and group has a unique history. Take inspiration from previous quests, personal characteristics, favorite things, and the group’s goals to find the perfect name. For example, a group that loves dragons could use “Dragonfire, Inc.”
  • Take suggestions from the group! The best way to find a name everyone likes is to take input from the group. Ask for ideas, compile a list of the best options, and take a vote to determine the best name.
