This past February, we had one family come visit us from the States & opted for a 7 days/6 nights safari, to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu (border of Serengeti & Ngorongoro) & Lake Manyara. And… as the title suggests, they were able to witness the BIG 5 in action (including SEVERAL cheetahs – hint hint, Cheetahs are NOT part of the BIG 5). So, the question for you – can you spot & name the BIG 5?
*Background info of the BIG 5: Contrary to what people think what they hear “BIG 5”, this group of animals does not refer to the “biggest”, or most “rare” animals to spot in Tanzania/East Africa whilst on a Safari. This term was created by groups of hunters who made this category according to the animals that were the most difficult & dangerous to hunt.
So, enjoy the slideshows below…
