The “Big Five”.

The name “Big Five” originally comes from hunting. It was used to indicate the five most dangerous animals to hunt. Nowadays everyone who goes on safari wants to see the Big Five, but which animals are they? The Big Five are the lion, leopard, elephant, (black) rhino and buffalo. Although you always have to have a little luck, the lion, buffalo and elephant are regularly seen on game drives here in Balule or on a daytrip in the Krugerpark. It takes a little more luck to find the shy leopard and although rhinos are seen lodge we have seen four of the five already. The lions usually keep their distance but sometimes we see them walking by. We regularly hear them roar and if they are close Corné will take the guests out in the Landrover op to look for them. Buffalos and elephants are regular customers at our waterholes and even the shy leopard has shown himself once. We are now waiting for the rhino. Tracks of the white rhino have been found at our waterhole and in the dry riverbed next to our camp, chance of seeing a black rhino are very slim at the moment.
regularly, this is usually the less aggressive, white rhino. From our
