Retrieving the Safari Icon on a Mac:


A. Look in the Applications Folder:

Is the Safari icon in the Applications? If so, drag the icon from there to create a shortcut.


B. Reinstall the macOS:

Safari is part of the macOS. So, one option would be to reinstall the macOS to fix any bugs in this app. Nothing would be lost. It's just that misplaced items would be placed back to where they should be and corrupt system files would be replaced by clean files. Go Here: Reinstall macOS - Apple Support. Use the third bulleted method: [command + r].  Important: Prior to installing an update or performing a reinstallation, to prevent data loss, be sure to Back up your Mac with Time Machine.
