Londolozi: The Big Five

The term, "Big Five," was created by hunters and refers to the five most difficult animals in Africa to hunt. The term is still used in most tourist and wildlife guides that discuss African wildlife safaris. The big five are the lion, African elephant, cape buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros. We saw all the big five and more in our visit to South Africa. The game drives at Londolozi offered excellent views of many animals much closer than we could have imagined.

    Hi, Chris..this is a great post and beautiful pictures you took. I love seeing wild animals but only at the zoo. animals are very unpredictable i'm still asking myself how you got such a close shot of the Hippo i would rather go to a Birding Route and take pictures of the beautiful birds and leave the adventure to brave people like you. thanks for sharing
