THE BIG FIVE ADVENTURE!
Although Africa has an incredible diversity of flora and fauna, there are five animals that are more famous than the others, the "Big 5". A unique experience. The expression "Big Five" refers to Africa's black rhino, leopard, lion, buffalo and elephant, which are the most difficult animals to find on the African savannah; and seeing the Big Five up close is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, as some of them are very difficult to find.
