I would say that the last line from "Safari Day in Kenya" contains an example of assonance - Not a word speak the tourists, as we fill the teeming jeep.

Assonance is the repetition of the same vowel, and here ea in speak, ee in teeming and ee in jeep are the same ones once again trying to make it easier for botanica

Assonance is a device used in poetry in which two or more words that are very close to each other repeat vowel sounds. However, these words do not start with the same letter. Examples could be "row" and "go" or "heel" and "feel." I have not read the poem but hopefully this clarifies what assonance means and helps you to better identify it within the poem.
