The Big 5 is a term originally used by hunters to describe Africa's most dangerous game animals: the lion, leopard, elephant, cape buffalo and black rhino. Nowadays the white rhino is also included due to the rarity of seeing the endangered black rhino.

There are numerous national parks and reserves where you can tick these magnificent animals off your list. It can be overwhelming to research each park and keep track of where you can find which animal. Give yourself the best chances to get up close and personal with the wildlife you want to see and use the safari wildlife guide below.
