Originally used only by hunters, the term 'Big Five' refers
to five of Africa's greatest wild animals - lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo
and rhino.
As during the bygone hunting era the term "Big
Five" still conjure up the romance and excitement of Africa's exotic
destinations and experiences.
Imagine watching the sun set over the horizon whilst you
capture the moment of a pride of lions stalking their prey.
Watching a buffalo strolling 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.
Many travellers regard a visit to South Africa as incomplete
without having spotted, and perhaps photographed, the Big Five.
The Big Five - legends of the wilderness which have become
synonymous with Africa.
