We had the opportunity of
experiencing all of the big five. I will
write about the lions separately.
There were herds of water buffalos...
and occasionally we would see stragglers off by themselves....

We saw quite a few
elephants. They were usually in small
groups.
Of the Big Five, the Black
Rhino is the one that is almost extinct.
We were warned at the beginning of our safari that sightings of Black Rhinos are very rare, and there hadn't been a sighting for over a month. When we did see him, we had to stay a certain
distance from him… and couldn’t stay for more than about five minutes, because
there are strict park ordinances protecting them. On our last animal drive, early in the
morning, we saw this dude and he was huge!
Also, on
that last morning, we found the leopard.
In Kruger, we saw the leopard in the tree, but couldn’t get full body
shots. Well we followed this Guy for
several minutes. Very, very exciting!
