The Big Five!

The "big 5" is a phrase often used in these parts. The phrase was actually coined by game hunters to refer to the five animals that were most difficult to hunt on foot as they are so ferocious when cornered or attacked. And we got to see all 5 of them!!!


The Cape Buffalo!


The Elephant!


Momma and baby!


The Rhino! We didn't know how much a treat it was to see this black Rhino, but they are apparently very hard to come by!


The Leopard!



And... the Lion which we got to see many of! It is not uncommon to do game drives all day for 3 days without seeing a lion... and we saw 29!!!




He was just yawning, although if you want to say that he was roaring, you are welcome to. I might say so as well... just for kicks! :O)
