The Big Five Series was introduced for the first time in 2019. “The Big 5” term originated when big game hunters visited the shores of Africa to shoot for trophies before conservation became a priority.
Wild stories left African shores of charging African Elephants, chases by bad tempered Black and White Rhinos, stalking by cunning Southern Leopards, fateful goring by unforgiving African Cape Buffaloes and of hunters and locals alike being dragged off by powerful African Lions.
Today, the Big five have become the icons of Africa’s greatest assets – its precious wildlife. Conservation efforts throughout Africa are striving to maintain the delicate ecosystems wherein the animals strive to survive against the ever encroaching march of modern civilization.
