The Big Five

The Big Five is a term used to describe the five most iconic animals in Africa that are popular among safari-goers. These animals are the lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, and Cape buffalo. At Oxpecker Tours, we offer a range of packages that allow you to see these magnificent animals in their natural habitats.

Lion

The lion is known as the king of the jungle and is one of the most sought-after animals on safari. Lions are social animals that live in groups called prides, and they are known for their impressive manes and fierce roars. Our experienced guides will take you to the best places to see lions in the wild, including the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Maasai Mara in Kenya.

Leopard

The leopard is a graceful and elusive animal that is known for its stunning spots and stealthy hunting techniques. Leopards are solitary animals that are often seen resting in trees or stalking their prey in the grasslands.

Elephant

The elephant is the largest land animal in the world and is known for its intelligence, social behavior, and gentle nature. Elephants are found in many African countries and are a highlight of any safari.

Rhinoceros

The rhinoceros is a large, armored animal that is known for its distinctive horns and solitary nature. Rhinos are one of the most endangered animals in the world, and seeing them in the wild is a rare and unforgettable experience — including at the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania.

Cape Buffalo

The Cape buffalo is a large, powerful animal that is known for its aggressive behavior and impressive horns. Cape buffalo are found in many African countries and are often seen in large herds grazing on the grasslands, including the Serengeti in Tanzania.
