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.
