Big Game
Hunting the Big Five Game animals—a term once used by big-game hunters to describe the animals most difficult to hunt on foot, and most dangerous— became the animals that subsequent safari tour operators touted for photo safaris. The five are: African elephant, black rhinoceros, Cape buffalo, lion, and leopard; we saw all five, plus many others.
