Species Search & The Big Five

Many animal species are widespread and can be seen on almost any safari.

However, others are found in fewer areas and perhaps only in certain habitats, making them fundamentally more of a challenge to find. Some are natural secretive and/or nocturnal, in both cases making them harder to see.

If there is a particular animal (or bird) that you definitely wish to see on your safari, then it is important to know where the best places to see them are.
