Check Settings>General>Restrictions>Safari and make sure that it is turned off (not restricted)


Do a spotlight search, swipe down from the middle of a home screen to get to the search field and type Safari in at the top. If it is hidden in a folder, the name of the folder will appear to the right.


Swipe from screen to screen to look for it.


Settings>General>Reset>Reset home screen layout will return the app to the home screen. It will return the home screen to out of the box condition as well.
