The term ‘Big Five’ was Originally used only by hunters. The term ‘Big 5′ refers to five of Africa’s greatest wild animals – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino.
Big Five does not refer to the biggest wild animals, but refers to the five most difficult animals in Africa to hunt on foot.
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.
