When I choose system preferences from the Apple menu, I am trying to get softward updates for Safari - it says none available. Help!

I am trying to upgrade my Safari browser. I go to Apple System Preferences seeking Software Updates and I get the mess "No updates available" Why? I am unable to use Safari as much as I would like to. I do no like using Chromium.
