4. See “The Big Five” in South Africa
Heading out on safari is one of the essential African experiences. And spotting the “Big Five” – lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and rhinoceros – is at the top of many people’s wildlife wish list. Kruger National Park, established in 1898 and encompassing nearly two million hectares, is one of the most famous places in the world to see these incredible animals. And for virtually guaranteed Big Five sightings, check out the private game reserves that border Kruger (e.g. Sabi Sands) – they’re the ultimate in luxury and offer truly sensational game viewing.
