Let’s explore the BIG FIVE of
South Africa. When we talk about the Big Five, what do you think what is Big 5?
The Big Five structures of South Africa? The Big Five personalities? Or the Big
Five beaches of South Africa? Noo… The Big Five of South Africa are the biggest
animals of South Africa you may encounter when while being on the wild safari
in South Africa. These Big 5 are African Elephant, African Lion, Leopard,
Rhinoceros, and Buffalo.
The Big Five are one of the major
attractions of South Africa which all the tourists and travelers like to
explore. It is a journey of a life time and anyone would travel across to experience
something like Big 5. So fasten your seat belts as we take you on the
adventurous wildlife Safari.
You can watch these Big 5 Beauties
in their natural habitat at many concentrations around South Africa. The most
famous places to witness these are The Ngorongoro Crater, The Madikwe Private
Game Reserve, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, and The Kruger National Park. If you are lucky enough you can witness all
the Big 5 in one location at the same day.
The best time to go on the Safari
is from about July to October across South Africa. At this time the weather is
much cooler and dry. The lack of rain makes vegetation dry and the all the
green vegetation dries up which make it much easier to locate the animals
wandering in herds searching for water.
There are other animals one can
spot while on Safari, like Giraffe and Zebra which make it even more
exhilarating and daring. But watching these big 5 living in their natural
environments and wild make it one of the most unforgettable thrills for all the
travelers and tourists.
Imagine you are sitting in your
open jeep, fastening your seat belt, ready to experience something which will
get your heart pounding and breath throbbing. As the jeep engine starts and the
wheels start rolling, your excitement and terror increases both at same time. As
you started to travel deep inside the wood, you hear Vervet Monkey who are
native to whoop on the trees as they see a vehicle travelling across in their
habitat. The driver who is guiding you through the intricate jungle enlighten
you about the different flora spread across the jungle and the kind of animals
you may be lucky to encounter while being on Safari. Luckily you spot a herd of
African elephants and buffalos near a small pond enjoying their water time and
playing with their baby elephants. You are totally in awe after beholding this
site and you actually forget you are here for the first time and forget your
own city world. Then as you move forward you spot a single horn animal from
far. It is so HUGE and beautiful. That’s the African Rhinoceros. He is calm but
you don’t dare to go any near to him at all. Suddenly the guide directs his
finger towards a leopard sitting on a tree. It was difficult spotting him for
you as he was camouflaged with the color of the tree. You got your heart in
your mouth looking eye to eye with the leopard. He roar as the jeep move
forward. Now you want one thing from God only, you want to witness the royalty
of Jungle, The African Lion. You ask the guide if they can watch him, he says
they mostly enjoy their hunt near pond he is taking you to. And as you reach
near the pond, you could not believe your eyes. Is it for real? There was a pride
of Lions relishing over their just hounded deer. With red face and shining eyes
they saw us as they weren’t expecting us. You clicked lots of photos and moved
on. You still can’t imagine you have just witnessed all the BIG FIVE animals
along with many other animals who reside in jungle and wild.
