Big Five Safaris

Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip

Big Five safaris are the stuff of legend. Most safari experts will tell you not to expect to see all five big beasties (lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffaloes) in one go and, while we agree, there's no harm in being ambitious. And why are those particular animals deemed to be the 'Big Five' we hear you ask? It's not because they are the largest, or even most interesting, it is that they are, traditionally (and tragically), the hardest and most dangerous animals to hunt on foot. It is also worth noting that it is only black rhinos that feature in the Big Five, as white rhinos are much more docile animals. Both species of rhino are now, of course, critically endangered.
