You must not have paid close attention in elementary school geography. The southernmost country on the North American continent is a little country called Panama, you may have heard of it. If Belize is not on the North American continent, where is it? The North American continent consists of Canada, Greenland, which is part of a European country, The USA, excluding the parts in the south Pacific, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Bahama, and a whole bunch of island nation's in the Caribbean.
Yes, there is a Central America, but it is NOT a separate continent, it is part of the North American continent. I never mentioned anything about the South American continent so I'm not sure why you have mentioned it. To answer your question, no, there most indeed is a South America, and it's a continent, unlike central America, which is not.
Speaking of nit picking, you're pointing out minor spelling errors on UHH?! You don't know what countries are part of the continent of North America but you jump on the plural spelling of safari?! Maybe you need to take heed of your own advice.
You also obviously missed the point. People always say, African safari, but Africa is a continent not a country. When asking for information it may be more helpful if the actual country the safari is taking place in is mentioned because each country is different.

Please look up Wikipedia on The Americas, North America, and Subcontinent, then you will get a better understanding. In one breath, you talk about people (who may not have been to Africa before) asking about African safaris and not specifying whether it is Botswana safari, or Zimbawe safari. or Namibia safari, or whatever African country which the OP may not know, when he obviously was just asking for a general guidance. Next you talk about North America (without mentioning the Continent of North America) and Belize which if one Googles it describes Belize as being a nation on the Eastern Coast of Central America even though it is in the North America Continent.
