much more memorable — he could spot a leopard in a tree yards away, while navigating the road. ” —Inagene Bonanno, Studio City, CA

On the prowl for africa’s ‘Big Five’


The many riches of an African safari is seeking out the legendary Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, black rhinoceros, and water buff alo — sighting these elusive creatures is the ultimate wildlife experience. Spotting the Big Five may carry bragging rights among today’s safari-goers, but this wild quintet earned its status from far bolder adventure seekers. In the days when safaris were reserved for big-game hunters with a yearning to conquer the untamed beast, the Big Five referred to those large-game animals that were most diffi cult to hunt on foot. Indeed, even in today’s modern safari vehicles, it’s the lucky “hunter” who spots all fi ve – but the fun is in the search!
