The Big 5

Lions, leopards, rhinoceros, elephants, and Cape buffalos are the big five. Seeing BIG 5 is one of the most amazing experience on a safari. The members of the big five were chosen for the difficulty in hunting them and not their size. As during the bygone hunting era the term “Big Five” still conjures up the romance and excitement of Africa’s exotic destinations and experiences. Imagine watching the sunset over the horizon whilst you capture the moment of a pride of lions stalking their prey. Watching a buffalo stolling to a water hole with strength and size that makes it more likely to kill a human than any other mammal. The rhino, which is almost extinct, with its extraordinary horns and bad temper. And the leopard with its beauty and remarkable speed and skill to hunt.
