Hello Mates ! Hope you all enjoyed the clicks from my last post?

Today’s treat is the Wilderness … which I experienced in the game drives of South Africa in Oct ’12, courtesy M/S Travel Corp Africa (TCA). I had been to South Africa previously but never had a chance to witness the wild so closely before, I did more than 6 game drives and all at different venues n timings.

It all started with a great excitement since the very first game drive at Amakhala Game Lodge we sited the most famous and rare member of the Big 5 and what best we sited a couple at their best, they gave us great portfolio pics for more than 20 mins and this setted up a great wildlife journey for us throughout the tour … It is said that it’s very difficult to site all the members of “BIG 5” in one trip, but I was lucky enough to site all of them in my recent trip in October . Special thanks to Mr. Shane n Ms Natasha from TCA for organizing n arranging such a great wilderness based tour.

# Quick Info share on Big 5's :

In Africa, the big five game animals are the Lion, African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Leopard, and Rhinoceros.

The term big five game (sometimes capitalized or quoted as "Big Five") was coined by big-game hunters and refers to the five most difficult animals in Africa to hunt on foot.

Since 1990 and later releases of South African rand banknotes feature a different big-five animal on each denomination.

Countries where all the members of the big five can be found includes Namibia, South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Democratic Republic of the Congo.

According to recent studies, it is difficult to spot the rhinoceros in Botswana.

Here are some of the pics which I clicked during this superb trip,
