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.

The Red-billed Oxpecker can be found on the back, neck and head of many animals at Londolozi. They eat blood, mainly from ticks that are on the large animals, performing a service by removing the ticks.
