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.
