"We were doing some writing and recording at Plymouth Rock, an old Michigan church that had been converted into a recording studio," said Greta Van Fleet vocalist Josh Kiszka. "We were playing a bunch of old blues songs and Jake came up with this riff that I fell in love with. It had this complexity, this mixture of jungle music and blues, and it made me think of a safari, hence the title. As an ode to our love of the blues, the lyrics were written as a narrative, the way that many blues lyrics have been written."
