Africa is a beautiful and diverse country and it is well known for its safari holidays. Every year thousands of people from all over the world travel to South Africa to see the magnificent sights of the stunning wildlife in its own environment. You may often here the terms the “big five” referring to the five large animals that inhabit South Africa. These are the Lions, Leopards, Rhinos, Elephants and Buffalo that are often seen on safari trips around South Africa. 

If you have ever been lucky enough to see a male and female lion rubbing heads, you may not know but this is actually how they greet each other.

The sight of a baby elephant is one that will stay with you for ever. Did you known that they can often be seen sucking their trunks similar to a baby sucking its thumb for comfort.

Leopards, although very different in some ways also have a lot in common with domestic cats – they hunt in a similar way and possess many of the same traits but unlike domestic cat’s leopards actually like water and can often be found fishing in it. South Africa is definitely the place to go if you want a safari adventure.
