Reception

Stephen Nutt reviewed Adventure 10: Safari Ship for Imagine magazine, and stated that "The main strength of this scenario is its twist. What begins as a quite straightforward hunting adventure ends as a novel and unique Traveller experience. Players and referees will find this a pleasing surprise and a worthwhile end, As such Safari Ship really does cut new ground for the Traveller enthusiast." [2]

Tony Watson reviewed Safari Ship in Space Gamer No. 70. [1] Watson commented that "The good points of Safari Ship far outweigh any of its liabilities. The ship information is excellent, as is the section on hunting, making this a must for any scenario where this sort of ship or a hunter appears. The shriekers are an interesting new race. All in all, another solid effort from GDW." [1]
