When I first heard the name "Safari"

The name Safari is still one of those mystery to me, I like the name, and my guess it properly came from the idea of Navigation -> Compass - > Safari. Although i was expecting a post to truly reveal the mystery behind the reason for such a name.

Safari is a swahili name(Swahili is spoken by people of the East-coast of Africa). It means a journey or an adventure. It could also mean a great undertaking. Steve must have known this from his many journeys.:)

I also suspect that this name came from some snark from Jobs against the web. If the browser is Safari, then logically, the WWW is a wild jungle. Even more relevant today, as Apple champions the idea of walled gardens in opposition to open application platforms.
