The Big 5 are lion, leopard, African elephant, African buffalo and rhinoceros — the five animals colonial-era hunters considered most dangerous to hunt on foot. The Greater Kruger ecosystem around Hoedspruit holds the most accessible Big 5 population on the continent. Most guests on a 3-day safari see four of five; four nights usually delivers all five.
